Today's reading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From Revelation 21:6a: "It is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End."
We are done, too. We have read from the beginning to the end. In doing so, we have experienced ALL of God's Word, something that is extraordinary in today's world.
IF you are still finishing up, try to do so as quickly as possible. Set a specific date, and stick to the date. Perhaps that date is today. Or a month from now. But, whatever that date is, stick to it. You've likely already read more of the Bible than ever before, so persevere and finish. This is likely the best opportunity you'll ever have in your life to do this. Don't skip anything. Read it all. You'll be glad you did.

The key passage for The Bible in 90 Days' experience:
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17

WOW! I thought I would get a good overview of the Bible, but didn't expect more. I was wrong! Each day the Lord revealed things I'd never noticed (or at least never understood) previously! Reading the Bible this way showed me context like I never imagined. This has been such a powerful experience for me! It has deepened my relationship with God! I am so thrilled that I made this commitment and that the Lord gave me the grace to see it through! I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone (and I do!).
ReplyDeleteMy husband is the pastor at our church. He supported me in this daily. I really enjoyed discussing things that caught my attention with him. I think it has deepened our communication.
We did this as our church's women's summer study... and doing it with these women has been wonderful! Being able to discuss things we didn't understand or things that were significant to us was great! Doing it as a group also helped encourage us and helped us have the stamina to make it through.
How could anyone read God's word for 90 days straight, complete the entire bible and not be changed? This has been a great experience and soooo worthwhile. I really connected the Old Testament to the New Testament in a whole new way-Putting the events and people in a whole new understanding.
ReplyDeleteI feel energized to seek God's wisdom and look at my life and the world through the words of the bible.
After all, James 4:6 told me "Draw near to God and God will draw near to you."
Reading the bible in 90 days has given me a new and improved joy in God and the hope that he promises. Thank you Jesus.
Do it! You will be blessed!
This was an unexpected blessing! Thank you Lord! I was just planning to do this 90 day Bible reading with the ladies of our church and God just drew me and created a hunger to read His Word and share time with Him! I was compelled to stay in the Word and in so doing gained a much better vision of our great God and His awsome plan to redeem His creation. Thank you Lord!
ReplyDeleteI am so thankfull that I followed threw with the nudge to read the Bible in 90 days.I didn't think I could do it but God is so faithful in helping. If you think God could not love you for the person you think you are and for the things you have done, reading threw the bible 90 days has helped me see even more how loving and merciful He is and it's still beyond my human understanding and I am so thankful to Him for that. God is good!

ReplyDeleteI finished my reading yesterday morning - I got it done in 90 days!!! I've already started back in Genesis 1:1 again. I intend on going back through again at 6 pages a day and finishing in 6 months. Now that the discipline has been developed I know I can do it and am so encouraged! Thanks so much. I' tried many times before and never managed to stick with it. I've been a committed Christian for over 20 years and always felt guilty that I could never get the entire Bible read. This has been a major encouragement and hurdle for my spiritual life and walk with the Lord.

ReplyDeleteThe Bible is so Amazing . God shows us time and time again his Love for us. He blessed me so much by sticking to this commitment. By being obedient he taught me discipline to get up early and read my 12 pages each day. And the plus was , I could ponder his word all day long. By reading this in such a short time at my age (70 ), I remembered more of what I read. It also connected more of God's teaching in my mind, to remind me that God has a bigger plan for my life. The Verse that really stood out to me I keep Pondering on is Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be HOLY ; without holiness no one will see the Lord. And Hebrews 12: 15 See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. In his Love and Grace, Sally Manecke

ReplyDeleteI had read the Bible through a few times before but on the "through the Bible in 1 year schedule" I really enjoyed reading the Bible through in 90 days. At first it was hard to find a time (45 min-1hr) a day to do it but once I found a time that would work for me I stuck with it and made it a priority every day. It was part of my day and the couple of times that I didn't read my day felt incomplete. The hardest parts for me to read were Levitcus-Deut. and then the books in the Old Testament that were prophecy-it was hard to keep straight if what the going to happen was in the near future or far future! I enjoyed Genesis, Esther, Ruth and Hebrews the best. Reading the Bible in 90 days helped me to tie the stories, events and people together-to see the whole picture.
