I’ll be reading the NKJV (New King James Version) because I also have that version in audio. I’m going to read as much as I can each day and will try to keep a relaxed attitude about it because I really want to enjoy the reading and not feel pressured to just get through it. I’ve outlined my rough plan below but I’m not setting hard goals of what to finish each day. In many ways I don’t know if I can do this. The purpose of this experiment is to see the broader view of God’s story and I hope to have a new perspective as a result. I realize that I’ll be missing a lot of details and that there is great value in meditating over just a few verses. I also expect that I will have a new understanding of Scripture by reading through the entire Bible in a relatively short period of time. My hope is that my focus will be first and foremost on God each and every day and that spending this time reading Scripture will re-awaken my desire to truly know Jesus. Very likely other areas like cleaning will take a back seat as well for the month. This will mean sacrificing time that I would normally spend reading other books and listening to podcasts. My purpose is to spend a significant amount of time reading the Bible each day so that I’m more fully immersed in God’s word. I’m aware that this experiment may result in the same and I’ll need to careful not to turn this into something that I’m doing to try to earn favor from God.
Usually after a while the reading turns into one more thing I need to check off my daily to-do list. I’ve read through the Bible a couple of times before over the course of a year. I didn’t spend much time at all reading God’s word and I wasn’t trusting and depending on Jesus. However, by the end of the month I found myself back to my old comfortable place of self reliance. My plan for September was to read my Bible more regularly as I experimented with no sugar and no caffeine. When I finished my meditation experiment in August I had a strong desire to spend more time in God’s word. For the month of October my 28 day experiment will be reading the entire Bible.
