I get up every morning and start the day reading 3-5 chapters of the Bible. I am in the book of Ezek right now. This is my 5th time to read it through cover to cover. I don't understand everything I read but I figure the Holy Spirit will bring it to mind when I need it. I plan on reading through the Bible at least twice a year for the rest of my life and see how many times I can read it. Starts my day off right and gives me a perspective of WHO is really in charge.
That's awesome!! I understand your commitment. About 15 years ago I started reading 5 chapters every single day. I too, read them first thing in the morning. It takes me about 6 months to read it from cover to cover and then I start all over again. If I miss a day I read 10 the next day because I feel like I've made that commitment to God. I still don't fully understand some portions, but, and you've probably experienced this too, something new is revealed to me each time I read it. Once I forgot my Bible when we went to Boy Scout Camp for a week and they had no wifi. Had to read 60 chapters when I got home. :)
