Last fall, I found out that the average person can read through the Bible in approximately 90 hours.
If you read your Bible for 1 hour everyday, you can read through the whole Bible every 3 months.
So, since that time, it has been a goal of mine to commit to read the Bible for one hour every day in addition to the quite time I already have with the Lord.
The funny thing, or really, the sinful thing about this is that since I've made that resolution I have actually spent LESS time in the Word.
Why is that?
I can't really say for sure.
But, I do know that meeting goals takes WORK.
I realize that I won't be any more saved or justified by reading my Bible more or any less saved or justified by reading it less.
I have chosen to make this goal because I know that in spending that hour in the Word I will most definitely grow closer to God and have a mind that is more like His.
So, no more excuses. I've just got to get in the Word.
Will you join me?
