Today I completed The Essential 100 reading plan which I started on YouVersion at the beginning of the year.
I mention this not at all out of pride or conceit, but to encourage. If I can do it, I know you can to! Trust me, I am not a fast reader or someone who reads dozens of books a year.
As I shared during the interview with Pastor Eric during our “No Comprendo” series, YouVersion makes finding a reading plan that works for you very easy. There are plans that cover the entire Bible and ones that are topical (like anger, marriage, finances) as well as ones that for youth. YouVersion is web-based and available not only on your computer but on as an app or in mobile web format on all major mobile devices so you can have access to it at any time.
The Bible isn’t just some holy book that “religious people” carry around to show off or beat people over the head with. It is a book of life and hope for all of us. It is how God speaks to us and shares his message with us. There will be parts we don’t understand, but that is okay – we need to start and let the Spirit guide us!
How about you? Have you tried a reading plan yet? Are you ready to try one now? I would love to hear what you have tried or are thinking about trying. You can leave comments here!
