Finish The Bible In Six Months

As I woke up this morning. doing my usual daily routine. A thought just came into my mind.

Why do I challenge myself to finish the Bible starting tomorrow?

Since tomorrow will be the first day of the next half year of 2010. This is one of the goals I always wanted to accomplish after I failed for years and years. Must really try my best this time!

Thanks to Google search engine, I found many ways to finish the bible but the one that really caught is "Bible Reading Plan - The Bible Chronologically".

Even though it's meant to be for one year but I will try my best to squeeze into 6 months.

For some advise, I mange to find myself this website.

At the last part of the article, it says :

OK, you’ve convinced me but I have tried reading the whole Bible before and failed. How can I succeed this time?

I completely understand this concern. I have been there. I have tried to read my Bible many times before and always failed after only a few weeks. I have put together a list of helpful tips that I hope will help you in your journey to read the Bible:

• JOIN WeReadTheBible.com
• GET AN ACCOUNTABLITY PARTNER!!!
• Get LARGE print edition (trust me, it will be easier on your eyes and easier to read)
• Pick a time, read on a routine, the beginning of the day is better than later
• Don’t get hung up on difficult words (places, people, locations), use an audio bible to help with pronunciations, to make it smoothly over difficult passages. Biblegateway.com has the audio for most versions of the Bible available for free when you listen online.
• Don’t stop for a word study – most of the time these are tangents that distract you from reading your bible (see What does it mean to read the Bible?)
• Take quick short notes so you can go back to study more in depth after your normal reading time. Use those notes to post to the forum – We want to know what stood out to you!
• If you miss, don’t be discouraged and don’t try to make it up all at once! If you missed 7 chapters today, don’t try to jam 14 chapters in the same reading time tomorrow – maybe 8 chapters, or 9, OR just 7. The key is to keep going!

Hope I can pull it through even though I know this is really a challenge for me.

This is a life-time guideline for human to live a life to the max for Him.

Must do it!

Give me strength Lord.

Cheers,
