Bible Reading Challenge
Does this look YOUR Bible? I sure hope not!
When I was a “youngin” I remember hearing a song about this topic. Kitty Wells, a popular Country and Western singer, sang a song entitled, “Dust on the Bible.” In the song she sings about going to a friend’s house to visit and seeing their Bible laying on a table covered in dust. It was obvious their Bible was unused. She was saddened by that fact. She sang that we should “get the dust off the Bible and redeem your poor soul.”
Maybe her singing was a bit “twangy” and method a bit outdated. But, her message is one needed to be heard by every generation of believers.
We have all entered 2014 with the same amount of time given to all. Today is January 17. If you had read four chapters a day you would have already finished 68 chapters! If you had begun in Genesis you would be to Exodus 18. If you had begun with Matthew you would be finishing the Gospel of Luke. Think of the good things you could have been reading about.
But, it’s never too late to begin a Bible reading schedule. You can do it so many different sways. The key is to DO IT.
After reading this, if you haven’t been reading God’s Word daily, stop to read at least a chapter. If you will begin today, read four chapters a day, you will complete the Bible in 2014.
Read it, heed it, speak it, live it.
