I don't know about you, but my intentions are generally better than my follow through. That includes a very important part of my life: my relationship with God. I know that in order to have a close relationship with God there are things I need to do -- like read the scriptures daily. I certainly desire to do so. But, alas, I falter and fail miserably and then feel guilty for yet another failure.
This blog may prove to be either a testament to another failure; or, a testament to a journey taking me closer to God and deeper into the Spirit. I've often said that I desire to hear God's heartbeat. That can only happen as I continue to hunger after and seek after Him. Only by pressing on and not giving up, will I obtain what I seek.
I have, just about five minutes ago, signed up on Bible Study Tools for a reading plan known as Professor Horner's Reading System. It requires reading 10 chapters per day -- yeah, 10 chapters. It appears to be a very dynamic reading system that isn't just a plan to read through the Bible in a year. Rather, in the course of a year, I'll be reading various books multiple times...some more than others. It is said that it will awaken a deeper insight to how scripture interprets scripture. It will be a challenge. You will have a front row seat to observe the experience. I hope that along with my success (please God help me!) that this blog will encourage you, dear reader, to begin your own journey.
Today, I read: Matthew 1; Genesis 1; Romans 1; 1 Thess 1; Job 1; Psalms 1; Proverbs 1; Joshua 1; Isaiah 1; Acts 1
