What a blessing to see another year! What an adrenalin rush to anticipate His plans for the next 365 days! What a sobering process to contemplate how He has worked in our lives during the previous 365 days.
God is good. And we thank Him for His blessings.
As you start out 2008, may I suggest a resolution to include on your list? May I challenge you to try and read through the New Testament in 2008? The whole Bible would be even better, but let's start with something that is readily accomplished. Consider some math:
The New Testament contains 260 chapters. Therefore, reading at the rate of one chapter a day will take 260 days to complete the entire NT (105 days less than one year).
At that rate, you could miss a day here and there, and still complete your goal of reading through the whole New Testament by the end of the year. One chapter a day will take most readers less than 10 minutes each day.
Let's do it! Let's make 2008 the year of the Bible in our lives. Let's commit to reading it daily, and watch in awe as we see how God uses it to make us more like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
