If you are reading through the Bible with me in 2022, then when you finished reading today’s selection you are officially halfway through—congratulations!

The reading plan I use orders the readings chronologically and includes both Old and New Testament readings daily. But if you were to start at the left cover of the Bible and read straight through, at the halfway point you would read Psalm 103:1-2 (due to an even number of verses, these two form the middle crest):

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.

As we read the Scriptures, we discover his benefits. As we read over and over, those benefits sink deeper and deeper into the pools of our soul.

The time and energy and sacrifice and challenge necessary to read all the Bible pays off. Your soul, indeed all that is within you, thanks you.
