Bible Reading: Forty Fifth Time

On the 31st of July 2024, the Lord enabled me to complete reading the Holy Bible for the 45th time! Then, I prepared myself to start the next round for the 46th time. This has been my burden and one day the number of times I read the Bible should be equivalent to my physical running age. That dream has been fulfilled! Now, at 46 I am actually reading my Bible for the 46th time.

By God's grace, I do pray and hope that this trend can continue and that I will be able to read the Bible more and more times. So now, I must read through the Bible at least once in a year to keep this dream alive. 

My desire is much more than this. Now, I pray that I can read the Bible a hundred times in my lifetime. I don't know how many more years the Lord will give me in this earthly tabernacle. If His will be so, I pray for His grace that within the many years still remaining or until He returns, I may be especially graced to hit the century of reading the Holy Bible a hundred times. 

I can only trust the Lord and do my best to faithfully read and read His word day by day. It's up to the Lord to fulfill this dream of reading the Bible a hundred times. May the will of the Lord be done!

Though I have read the Bible many times, every time I read I find something new. I enjoy reading the Bible daily as this is the time I can communicate with God objectively through my reading of the word. The written words, at times, become the living word and I hear God's speaking to me, the timely words. Whatever situation I may be in, the reading portion at any particular time was apt for that particular experience at that time. This is a wonder of wonders. I seek no miracle more than the miracle of God speaking to me according to my real situation and real needs day by day. My job is simple, just open the Bible and read, the windows of heaven open up and I see God face to face through His words in my spirit.

Praise the Lord for this grace of reading, eating, breathing, and enjoying the word of God!
