40 Day Bible Feast: Day One!

Here we are on day one of our journey!

I thought the best place to start out would be to share how each of us are planning to feast upon God's Word. That way, we can encourage one another and perhaps "dialogue" if some of us are reading the same books or passages.

Here's what I'm planning to take on:

• Finish reading the Book of Deuteronomy
• Read the Book of Job
• On Sundays, read from the epistles in the New Testament
• Since I love doing biblical word studies, I want to hunt up Scripture passages around the themes of day, night, trusting God/waiting, pride and I still have one more to figure out :). I also want to pray God would lead me to specific passages which I can turn into prayers for my husband and children. I'm praying that God would grow my prayer life as well as grow me in knowledge of Himself through this exercise.
• I'm thinking of also reading at least one of the Gospels. I haven't quite figured out if I'll read paralell passages in all four of the gospels or read The Message's translation of them (I'm kind of leaning to The Message, but still need to purchase that Bible :) )

I think the overall theme for my feast is looking at God's Word in new ways or rediscovering it for new truth.

Now it's your turn...where are you feeling led to begin? Do you anticipate any challenges along the way? If so, what might they be and how can we support you?

Upward in Christ,

Andrea
