My goal for 2010 is to read through the entire Bible again for my personal devotions. I recently read Shopping for Time written by Carolyn Mahaney and her daughters, a very practical, yet enjoyable book. (They are the girls of Girltalk an excellent blog to check out.) Anyway, in the book they mention a cool website where you can print reading schedules for your own devotions, so you can check it out and print one for yourself here. (I'm trying the chronological plan) Another cool thing from Shopping for Time that I am implementing is after reading a scripture passage, answer two questions (I'm paraphrasing with my own twist):
1--What does this passage reveal about God?
2--How does this revelation about God impact my faith and life?
My plan is to write out my responses along with the passages and my list of prayer requests. Personal devotions are so important, yet I find that without a plan in place, it is difficult to be consistent. I guess I'm sharing this to keep myself accountable, to encourage others to grow in this area, and also to see if there are other ideas you'd like to share . . .
Happy 2010!
