Some things I’ve discovered about reading the Bible in the last few years…
1. Things that seem weird, strange or boring are like red flags over buried treasure. Some hunting and persistence is required but treasure is there.
2. I don’t like being rushed. I know others follow ‘read the Bible in a year’ plans but I find this gives me a false sense of hurry. I want to read it and follow the trails that things weird, strange or ‘boring’ present to me.
3. I love to read big chunks in short periods of time- as you would a gripping novel. This gives a sense of flow and story that reading bitsy bits cannot.
4. I love to read it aloud with others. To stop and follow the trails together and see what each other knows and wants to know. To think on it in an entirely different way than reading silently allows.
5. And I love to read it silently… waiting for Him to show me new and deeper or old but fresher. Love this amazing letter
