What The Bible Has For Me In 2023
I like to begin reading the Bible each New Year in Genesis 1:1. I try to read 3 or 4 chapters each day and I usually finish Revelation some time before the end of December. I often take notes and write down verses that I like, or parallels between different scriptures, and even questions that I have about verses that I don't understand. In 2022 my goal was to combine several years of my little Bible reading notebooks, and write them all together in my own Bible study notebook. God helps me to learn more from the Bible every year. I can't remember all that I read, but as I write the daily devotions, the Holy Spirit often brings scriptures to mind and I can read references from my notebook and find the verses that I need for our devotionals. I talked with Michael about the possibility of writing the devotions for 2023 in a "Through the Bible" format, beginning with Genesis and going through to the end. It would be quite an endeavor, but Michael was very encouraging. I am not a Bible scholar, so this will not be a commentary of wisdom and knowledge, but it will be thoughts that the Lord has shown me through the years in my daily Bible reading. Are you up for the challenge? Let's read through the Bible this year and see what the Lord has for us in His Word.
