Bird's eye view....

Bird's eye view....

When we were in our twenties, we challenged each other to read through the Bible in a year.   I had never done it and neither had my husband. Then when our oldest son was in the fourth grade we challenged him and we did it again. We actually paid him a dollar a book. We all made it again.. We have dine it various times since then over past forty year. We used "Walk through Bible" devotionals to help,  as well as other reading plans.

In the 90's, we used "Bird's Eye view" by Beth Lambright. And now I find my self doing another 7 week study by Angie Smith, "Seamless, understanding the Bible as one complete story". It is a fast paced overview of the entire Bible.

No matter how many times I read through the Bible or study a passage, there is something new to be learned, applied and soul searching...and I am not a Biblical scholar by any stretch of the imagination...it is just that when we let  it, God's living word speaks to our souls and hearts... About everyday things, gives joy, conviction, peace, comfort, and so much more....we never stop learning and He never stops speaking...it is new every time...

Thank YOU for Your Word. Help me listen and learn as well as do....

2 Timothy 3:14-17 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
