Read the Bible in One Year

One question that came up a few times this week was, “What if I miss a day of two?”  Now in all likelihood you will miss a day or two if you schedule is different or something happens unexpected but don’t be discouraged.  When you get back to your schedule begin with the present day’s reading.  Don’t go back to where you left off and attempt to motor your way back.  Start with today’s reading and hear what God is saying to you.  Then should you have some extra time, go back and revisit the days you missed.  If it’s several weeks, I suggest you simply pick up with today’s reading and, next year, you will go back over the territory you missed.
 
Most importantly, refuse condemnation.  Reject discouragement and guilt.  We are all growing and developing godly habits.  Don’t induce fault, remorse, or a sense of failure into your discipline.  Only Joy!
 
I also want to encourage you to take 3-5 days a week to journal using the SOAP acrostic. I was going to give you another example but I want to give you something better go to http://www.lifejournal.cc and clink on pastor’s devotional and you will see several example of how to journal using the SOAP acrostic.
 
Expectantly In Christ,
