So I mentioned in my last blog that I have been motivated to read through the bible. I am starting with New Testament.. hopefully one day I'll be able to say I've read every book in the bible. For now I will focus on NT.
I'm not going to rush or plan how much I am going to read because that will be futile and I know will ultimately fail whatever ridiculous goal I set up for myself. I'm just going to read every day. I'm going to take it slow, reread things if my attention wanders, and take time to think about it all.
A few people have been 'on me' to read more, but this has really been my decision to do this. Lately I've been thinking when I grow up...lol...whenever that is and perhaps have kids, or even younger people around me who look up to me..perhaps I should know some of this. Not only that but for myself to get through this crazy life.
There is Psalm that I heard a couple of times that talks about G-D as a shield and buckler (!?!) and I know there are is more scripture that describes verses a defense or shield. Maybe one day these vereses will just come to me as I go about my day dealing with situations..you never know!
For now I'm at Matthew Chapter 3. I read over in my study book about King Herod and his whole history. I also took some time to understand the first chapter and the never ending list of names. There must have been a reason why Matthew began with that. I have no idea what that might be but I assume there must be some purpose.
