3 Month Challenge
Wow! If you have never done a one month New Testament or three month Old Testament challenge (to read it within those days) I encourage you to do it. Last session Chad had the team do a 30 day New Testament challenge. That was very exciting and very challenging (thus it being called a challenge :P) it was really neat to see how all the books fit together, how it all related.
It was amazingly crazy how much you had to read everyday in order to keep up with what you were supposed to be reading that day. You had to be reading in every spare moment that you had, otherwise you would surely not make it. I realized that if I really wanted to know God’s word I had to be serious about reading it; not just my two chapters sporratically put throughout the week, but consistently; and not just reading but really thinking about what you’re reading, and meditating on it.
Anyways it was very eye-opening for me and in the begining of January of 2012 Mom asked me if I wanted to do a 3 month challenge to read the Old Testament with her. We began and terrible as it was I got behind, but I kept at it, Mom kept encouraging me and I was doing okay, until I found out that we had somehow skipped putting 1 and 2 Kings into the 3 months! Now I am really behind!
I’m still going to try for my goal of 3 months, and we shall see how I do. =) If you ever need something to help deepen your Bible reading and open your eyes a little bit I encourage you to try doing a New or Old Testament challenge.
