The Benefits:

• Over the year we will read the whole Bible.

• It is not a study or homework exercise. It won’t be an in-depth exploration of themes or historical context. It will be something risky and refreshing.
• We will hear God. He desires to communicate with us.
• We will build a rich resource of our own to track our walk with the Lord.
• We will read with one expectation, one goal, one reason in mind – that God will speak.
• We will pray for God to grab our attention and to lead us in a journey of life growth with Him.
  

The Process:

• Just 15 – 30 minutes each day. Take a time that best suits you. Morning, afternoon or night – it doesn’t matter, just aim for regularity.
• Pray. A short sentence something like: “Lord, I’m here, speak to me today because I’m listening – please make me attentive to you.”
• Read the selected readings for the day as listed
• Write down the verse or verses that speak the loudest to you. Verses that grab your attention.
• Give it a title. Something catchy and simple like “Hope in dry places” “Look up and Live”
• Write Journal entry. Write a brief paragraph or two on what the verse(s) have stirred up in you. Conclude your writing with a prayer giving thanks, seeking further guidance or reflecting your desire to follow what has been revealed to you.
