It is once again Resolution time. You know how it goes, over the past few days, maybe weeks, we’ve been determining goals that we hope to accomplish in the coming year. Sometimes we are successful at keeping them, while other times we never even make it out of the start gate.
May I suggest something for you to resolve to do this year?
The coming of the New Year is a great time to determine to read through the entire Bible. I’m not talking about reading through a plan in order to check off the block everyday. Rather, I’m speaking of reading with purpose and with intent to know God and His Word more.
Justin Taylor over at the Gospel Coalition has put together a great list of yearly reading plans along with some information on the importance of reading with a plan.
Additionally, YouVersion has some excellent reading plans.
I’m committing to the M’Cheyne One-Year Reading Plan. Mainly because it greatly adaptable to a family devotional setting.
So, what do you say? Who wants to pick a plan and hold each other accountable to the task at hand?
I will look through and pick a plan, and love the accountability portion of the task as it is generally the least respected of all the requirements of being a good disciple. I am in and will try my best to keep my family involved with the process as well. Look forward to what the year may bring, my resolution is to try and walk closer with God and this may be the spark needed to start the show.
Great! I’m going to make an e-mail list of everyone that joins in we can all do this together!
Looking forward to it!
I will! I’m downloading you version now ton pick a plan.
Erin, there’s an iPhone app as well. I find it really helpful!
I am in great need of accountablilty. I have been struggling, doubting,down and all kinds of stuff for the past couple months. I need structure and a sense of something. I know that sounds strange coming from a believer but its honestly how I am feeling. I will go online and pick a plan. Look forward to the hep.
Thank you in advance
Yay, Kristie! I’m glad you are joining us. I know it will be a struggle, maybe even harder than the past months, but I’m confident you can do it!
I am really trying to change things in this new year. 12 has always been my fav number so I see this year as a time to finally make those personal, spiritual and family changes that I keep meaning to do. no more procrastinating!
We’re all in it together. We can do it!
I am working through a plan this year too. I’ve been using You Version for quite some time now and enjoy having it help keep me accountable and on track.
That’s great Tara!
