A New Format for a New Year

Today's Reflection:

I have decided to make a change to my blog in 2010 to reflect a change in my personal reflection time. This year, I am not attempting to read the Bible through as I normally do. Instead, I have committed to the Lord to read the New Testament through each month: 12 times through Matthew-Revelation in 2010. I’ve done that once before, and while it is a challenge, it is very rewarding. With that in mind, I have decided not to publish daily scripture readings. I will continue to post a scripture to memorize.

If you would like to join me in the challenge to read the NT through monthly, here is the schedule I have laid out for it:

• Week 1: John and Matthew
• Week 2: Mark and Luke
• Week 3: Acts through 2 Corinthians
• Week 4: Galatians through Jude
• Week 5: Revelation (Have to squeeze it into week 4 in February, as there are exactly 4 weeks in that month!)

If you read for 30 minutes each day, 5 or 6 days per week, you can keep the pace without hurrying. I have decided to do it in 5 days so that I can have Saturday to “catch up” if I get behind during the week.

God bless you as you read his Word!

This Week’s Scripture to Memorize:
Psalm 119.11: I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
