Wow! Tomorrow we’re into 2024. Time to start our Bible reading plan<\/a> for the year, a continuation of what we started last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a couple of years now, we\u2019ve used\u00a0The Navigators\u2019 5x5x5 reading plan for the New Testament<\/a>: 1 chapter\/day, 5 days\/week. We liked the leisurely pace so much, with time to meditate on what we were reading, that June said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t we broaden that concept to include the Old Testament?\u201d So we did, and last year we read the Pentateuch<\/a>. So this year, we’re moving into the History section:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

As always, I recommend you use your time in the Word to connect with the God who wrote it: The Time with God Weekly Journal<\/a> is a tool to help you do that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only other thing I would add is that sometimes, when we’re reading the Old Testament, there may be chapters where it’s hard to find any applicable thoughts to meditate on. (1 Chronicles 1<\/a> comes to mind!) Therefore, I keep a finger in one of the gospels and just read the next story. Others supplement with a psalm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(If you want to read the Bible through in one year, the\u00a0Discipleship Journal Bible Reading Plan<\/a>\u00a0is among the most doable: 25 readings each month, each from four different places in the Bible.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be following our plan through the History section, and some of the blogs will come from there. Join me! We’ll come across this encouragement right away:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don’t for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed. (Joshua 1.8, MSG)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
