A Desire to Read the Word

Something I have struggled with for a while always struggled with is getting into God's Word on a daily basis. I would have good intentions to start a reading plan or a devotion book and then after a few days, a week or a month I would get lazy and fall out of the consistency. Something that is hard for me admit is that I have never read the Bible all the way through. Can you say worst seminary student ever?!

Since I've started seminary though, God has grown my love and desire for the Word and I have a desire like never before to get in to the Word and truly get to know it and more importantly get to know God more.

All this to say today I started a full year reading plan to read the Bible all the way through. Instead of just started from Genesis and reading through to Revelation, I've decided to read in chronological order for a number of reasons. First because I think it will allow me to better understand God's story as a whole in the order in which it occurred. Also because I will at times be reading through multiple books at once providing variety and better understanding of the more difficult OT books. This scares me mainly because I am afraid that I will fail [again], but I am entrusting this into God's hands and praying that He gives me the diligence to follow through. So far, Day 1 is complete.
