On January 1, I plan to start reading the Bible through from cover to cover. I’ll finish sometime in December. Want to join me?
I would suggest that you read the Bible all the way through for a variety of reasons (here are only a few):
If you want to live a life of faith, then you need to read the entire Bible.
If you want God to move in your life, then you need to read the entire Bible. Remember, “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12).
If you want to be blessed in the eyes of the Lord, then delight in the law of the Lord, and meditate on it day and night. You will live like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. So that in all that you do, you prosper (Psalm 1).
If you desire peace, if you seek wisdom, if you wish for relief from your social media feed, if you need power to overcome the traps of the world, the flesh and the devil, then read the entire Bible.
If you yearn for truth, especially in this world of disinformation, then read the entire Bible.
Your time, your attention and your energy are precious and limited. Why waste them? Invest it in the living words of God this year. All of them. You’ll be happy you did.
Want to join me? If so, drop me a note in some fashion and we’ll keep in touch as we journey through the scriptures together!
I’d like to journey with you Dave.

Thank you, Ujjwal. Have you started reading the Bible through this year? I’ve started, so I’d be interested to hear how it’s going for you.
