Beloved–
As a new Christian I wanted to know what God had to say about everyday situations. His Word (Psalm 23) had caused me to turn to him, so I reasoned that reading “the whole book” would be the best way to get answers. Unaware that there were reading guides available to follow, I made one of my own. Then I discovered that God had written a book of Proverbs with 31 chapters (one for each day of the month) right in the middle of the 66 books. From that day to this day I have read a chapter based on the day’s date.
I made the decision to read through the Bible in a year; it took me 18 months because I got bogged down in Isaiah. The next time I tried it, I made it through in a year. I continue to study the word using many different guides; but never have I stopped reading my daily Proverbs chapter; I learn something new each time.
I pray daily that you will fall in love with the Lord’s word.
Luv Ya!
