Read the Bible With Me in 2025

How sweet your word is to my taste— sweeter than honey in my mouth.
Psalm 119:103

Reading through the Bible in a year has been the greatest means of my personal spiritual growth. The sweetest blessing has been as I read, I continue to Learn the character of my God. Each day I look for what the passage tells me about Him. Then I write that in my journal. What nuggets those truths are in my life! They comfort, encourage, guide, and give hope!

There has been another tool as I read that has greatly helped, and that is reading through the Bible chronologically. It has also given a greater understanding and has helped to put the pieces together in the timeline of biblical history and of the future events yet to come!

I’m nearing the end of the 2024 reading plan and I’m excited about starting all over again January 1, 2025. Its story is always fresh and alive and I’m excited about the new things that I will learn. I’d love for you to join me and Whitney as we read through the Bible this year!

This is a re-post from 2012 when my mother-in-law was suffering with cancer and under Hospice at Christmastime. I know so many people who are dealing with difficult things right now, and thought it was appropriate to post this again. You can also listen to the podcast of this post here that has more detail and encouragement.

The hissing of the oxygen concentrator is steady, and lulls my mother-in-law to sleep.  I slip in and pull the sheet over her shoulders and turn off the light.  Then lying down in my bed, the monitor in both our rooms in the “on” position, I hear the machine’s hissing, and also her breathing and frequent cough.  I whisper a prayer for her comfort and a good night’s rest for her.  These are the sounds of Christmas in the parsonage this year.
