My spiritual mentor has been telling me for years now to read the bible in a year. He tells me its a great discipline and a great way to read and grapple with parts of the bible that I may never have read before. Here is your 21 day update. 3 weeks in and I am thinking why haven’t I done this before. I have been amazed at how much reading the bible everyday can help make you so much more aware of God. So much more aware of what God has been doing in this world. I wonder if we sometimes are too afraid of being disciplined in our culture because it leads us back to the days of rebellion, rage, anger and, maybe just me, teenager tantrums. I am finding some beautiful about being disciplined in my reading and about choosing God over many other things.
There is something to this being disciplined lark…
