Turning 1 year into 18 months

I began in January reading through a 1 year Bible plan.  I’ve really enjoyed it, and have had some great insights but there’s one problem.

I’m behind.  Instead of a 1 year Bible plan (NT twice and OT once), I’m more like at the 18 month plan.

At some point in the OT I got behind, over the summer, during camps… I was “busy”.

We all can make excuses, but I guess it just shows how much a commitment to God means.

We all get up on time for work, or get the kids to school, reading a novel about vampires who love younger girls (or whatever fiction you’re into) or definitely make time for our favorite TV show…

but when it comes to reading God’s word, going to Church, serving those he loves…

What makes it different?  Why do we not follow through?

I’m not saying you’re a horrible person if you don’t read the Bible in a year, or anything like that.

I’m asking if we’re actually committing ourselves to the ONE we say we are.

How about you?  Any one out there have trouble with the 1 year  er, 18 month plan, or maybe a different type of commitment?

Maybe we can pray for each other and encourage one another (Hebrews 10:23-24), and thank God for his grace.

In Christ,

Isaiah
