No portion of Scripture should be bypassed or overlooked by those who are anxious to be conformed to the image of Christ. He is the Living Word, and His glory is to be found on every page of the Bible. Therefore, it behooves us to make a point of reading the Bible in its entirety.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cSo Bible reading for me is much more than simply the fulfilling of a daily quota\u2026Time in the word is the place of change, and I jealousy yearn to expose my heart consistently and routinely to every living, breathing, inspired portion of Scripture.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cOne of the greatest keys to maintaining momentum in your daily Bible reading, in my opinion, is the secret of simultaneous reading. What I mean by that is, instead of reading several chapters in one book of the Bible, read shorter portions in four different Bible books on the same day\u2026Each day I read in all four sections. This provides many benefits, not the least being that the variety keeps me interested and engaged.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIt\u2019s the pursuit of Christ in His word that gets me up in the morning. My time in the word is my life-source and my sanity. This is the place where I receive grace for another day. Yes, I love my daily Bible reading! I hope you\u2019re catching this awesome little secret. You\u2019ll gain momentum in reading through the Bible by dividing your reading into three or four different sections and reading simultaneously in each section every day.\u201d<\/em>\u2014<strong>Bob Sorge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>My Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cLord, help me devote time to reading Your Word daily, especially reading from different portions of the Bible.
