Not to take a legalistic view of reading through the Bible in a year, but I made it to the end of the first month! It has been fun to have girlfriends reading the same translation. We have been able to hold each other accountable and share thoughts and questions.
Last week, it was good to know that I wasn't the only one not "getting" Job. I couldn't figure out how I was supposed to hear his friends talking to him, with compassion or sarcasm. Today God cleared that up when He said Job's friends were wrong. It was also cool to hear God speak of His secrets in creation. Especially when He said that He has storehouses of hail and snow reserved as weapons for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war. (Job 38:23). You know I'm an 'End of Days' kind of girl.
Anyway, looking forward to the next 11 months. I have added two friends to the list of Bible Readin' Girls. Exodus, here we come!!
Yea!! I just read today's reading and it was so nice to start the "Moses Adventure". Over and over--God told Moses and the Israelites that He heard them, and He will save them. What comfort that is that God hears me. My Deliverer is coming!
