Oh how I love your law!
It is my meditation all the day. – Psalms 119:97
Happy New Year!! Well, here we are, 2022 is around the corner! Can you believe it? I am so thankful to God for bringing us all through 2021 up until now. He is so good and gracious.
With a new year comes new year resolutions. I for one have stopped making resolutions, I now make just tackle things as they come. I have goals that never change ; to study my Bible more and pray more. The rest I will tackle as they come.
Talking about reading my Bible more, it is sad to note that most Christians would say that God is the most important person in their lives and believe with all their hearts that the Bible is God’s word to man, yet they have never taken the time to read through the whole Bible. Life is busy and will always be busy till we die, we should approach Bible study the same way we approach other things that are important in our lives – make time for it.
if you have never read through the whole Bible and would like to or perhaps through just the New Testament and you’re wondering how to do so, I plan to share a list of Bible reading plans with you courtesy of Ligonier Ministries. Here they are:
