On thursday the 15th of January a new adventure will begin for Abba House. We are embarking on a one year Bible reading plan. Starting in the New Testament, we shall work (read) our way back through the Old Testament and end with dear Malachi. Amazing discoveries are in the offing certainly, especially as a church of new believers. I know we shall be delighted, astonished, in wonderment and sometimes puzzled., which will no doubt make for some most interesting discussions. And since we are all following the same reading plan, none will be left out.
We will tweak things here and there for those who join us in the course of the year. Some might even choose to read speedily and catch up with us. Despite appearances, the Bible is not an excessively lengthy read. In an hour’s commute, i listened (albeit listening is faster than reading oneself) to 13 chapters of the book of Romans.
Remember – our primary purpose when we read the Word is to discover, know and meet God, to know His thoughts, plans and actions… the way He is and does; and the second is to discover man and his relationship with God.
A few pointers :
- Follow the reading plan scrupulously on a daily basis.
- Read with a heart to understand.
- Take notes ( a notebook ought to be set aside for this)
- Pray and ask for the help of the Holy Spirit.
- Meditate and chew on the text.
- Draw lessons from the text and apply them to your own life.
- When you are done, thank God for His word.
- Those who wish could also purchase an audio Bible, not in lieu of paper, but to supplement it. Thus at the end of the week, it may come in handy to listen to the book studied during the weeK.
The New Testament followed by the Old.
