The Bible is far more than a list of commands and prohibitions. Why Read the Entire Bible?Īs we spend time in the Scriptures, we come to know God better on a daily basis. Let God’s voice be the first we hear in the morning. Rather than spending a great portion of 2022 in the Old Testament prior to reaching the New Testament, this plan allows you to ebb and flow through the year which often prevents burnout along the journey. The main reason is that it keeps you in both the Old and New Testament each day which allows you to see the big picture in a more succinct manner as you work along through the text each week. I have grown to appreciate this plan for several reasons. We must be driven more to our Bibles, and to the mercy-seat, if we are to stand in the evil day. Those believers will stand firmest who have no dependence upon self or upon creatures, but upon Jehovah our Righteousness. M’Cheyne wrote the following to his church: M’Cheyne said, “Let God’s voice be the first we hear in the morning.” He developed the plan to help his church. As a pastor, he emphasized the importance of the sufficiency of God’s Word and put a great deal of emphasis upon the reading holy Scripture. Robert Murray M’Cheyne (1813–1843) was a pastor of St Peter’s Church Dundee (1836–1843). The plan that I’m using is the M’Cheyne One-Year Bible reading plan. There are many different plans out there to help you read through the Bible. As I consider the fact that a large percentage of people have never read the entire Bible, how wonderful would it be to begin a plan that would assist you in reaching a spiritual milestone? Not only would it be a big goal to achieve, it would breathe life into your soul spiritually and help you along life’s journey.
The Bible is absolutely sufficient and is the source of encouragement, wisdom, instruction, and most importantly-the revelation of God to us.
The time I spent with my family and friends is always a blessing, but there is nothing like spending time with God. As 2021 draws to a close, I look back on this past year of blessings and divine providences with joy in my soul.
