\"Bible\"Each year my goal is to read the Bible all the way through from cover to cover between January 1 and December 31. I have accomplished this goal each year since 2000. But it doesn\u2019t look like I\u2019m going to make it this year, and that bothers me.<\/p>\n

It bothers me not because I\u2019m missing\u00a0a goal, but because it means I\u2019m not ingesting and spending enough time with my Lord\u2019s words. I just feel more alive when I am reading the Bible everyday \u2026 not necessarily an exhaustive study, but a careful read with my spirit open for the Lord to lead and speak.<\/p>\n

As of today, August 18, 2009,\u00a0I have made it from Genesis 1 (January 1) to Psalm 119 (August 15). I figured a great way for me to keep myself accountable is to write\u00a0a one sentence summary of a particular verse or passage that moves me within whatever I chronologically read that day. I don\u2019t have a set amount of verses or chapters I read each day \u2013 I let the Lord determine that. I read and then pray until my spirit is satisfied. The following one sentences are my chronological one sentence Bible, starting with Psalm 103, when I started writing the summaries.<\/p>\n

Benefits of God: forgiveness, healing, redemption, love, compassion, satisfaction, renewal and justice. Psalm 103:1-6<\/p>\n

\u201cGod does not treat us as our sins deserve.\u201d Do I do that to others? No. Do you? We must re-adjust! Psalm 103:10<\/p>\n

God is enduring no matter how many times we run. He will never give up on us, if only we would never give up on Him. Psalm 117:2<\/p>\n

Society continues to use the fields of psychology, biology\u00a0and politics prove its validity. Yet we\u2019re doing the same thing to prove ours!\u00a0Your assurance is in what? Psalm 118:8-9<\/p>\n

One more day closer to death, or one more day ready to live? Get out of yourself and look what the Lord has done. Psalm 118:17<\/p>\n

I hope that throughout the upcoming days, months, years, these will be\u00a0a blessing and an encouragement to you as they are to me. As long as I can get the internet each day,\u00a0I will post my one sentence\u00a0(yes, along with my usual posts as well).<\/p>\n

YOU CAN FIND\u00a0THE WHOLE SERIES OF\u00a0\u2018MY ONE SENTENCE BIBLE\u2019 HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

Much love.<\/p>\n
