What is YOUR resolution for 2013?

Posted on by Pam Larson

Jonathan Edwards wrote 70 resolutions in 1722-1723. Here is #28:

“28. Resolved, to study the Scriptures so steadily, constantly and frequently, as that I may find, and plainly perceive myself to grow in the knowledge of the same.”

What is YOUR resolution for 2013?

For the last four years, I have been writing at this site, which has followed the Discipleship Journal Bible Reading Plan.  This is the plan that Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis uses.  I have included the Bible passages for each day, along with commentary, meditation or devotional article on each passage.

The advantages to this plan-  you read through the entire Bible once and there are “catch-up” days:

  • To prevent the frustration of falling behind, which most of us tend to do when following a Bible reading plan, each month of this plan gives you only 25 readings. Since you’ll have several “free days” each month, you could set aside Sunday to either not read at all or to catch up on any readings you may have missed in the past week.
  • If you finish the month’s readings by the twenty-fifth, you could use the final days of the month to study passages that challenged or intrigued you.

Please leave a comment or email me at larson “at” Bible-daily.org. I would love to hear how this reading plan and the commentary have helped you, and whether you intend to continue reading along with “Knowing God Through His Word…Day by Day”.

Blessings in the New Year and may you see God more clearly and know Him more dearly!
