Tuesday 9 April 2013-921 days remaining. Friday in just a few more days then Sunday. Hope you have been reading your Bible to know God. In order for my comments to be relative to you, it is important that we read the same Bible.

I've been reading and using The One Year Bible, King James Version since 1996. I often refer to this Bible as the "365" because it is organized so that any one may be able to read some Old Testament, New testament, Psalms and Proverbs every day and read through the entire Bible in one year/365 days.

I promise you that each year you read it, it is and will be more exciting and informative. My wife and I read daily and the average time for reading through a day is 16-18 minuets.  We have found that reading aloud causes us to sense the tone and tenor of the scriptures and they seem to be more vibrant. After our reading we get to enjoy "praying back" some of what we have read and heard.  we strive to use the same terms of endearment emphasizing the traits and attributes of The LORD.

For example today we read Psalm 78:72 "So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands." Also we read Proverbs 12:25 "Heaviness in the heart of  man maketh it to stoop: but a good word maketh it glad." It seem to me that these were words from The Lord to us to remind us of His Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence, Immutability, Holiness, Justice, Truthfulness, Goodness, Genuineness, and Greatness.

It was as though we were reading and hearing these sweet words for the first time. We enjoying telling our God that we are grateful for His Word, His mercy and His grace. We would not and cannot know Him apart from the Scriptures. Read to know Him. Believe what you read. Get right-be right, do right and don't quit. pj
