July Bible Reading Schedule

Geoffrey Thomas offers the following encouragement about reading the Bible.  “Do not expect to master the Bible in a day or a month, or a year.  Rather expect often to be puzzled by its contents. It is not all equally clear.  Great men of God often feel like absolute novices when they read the Word.  The apostle Peter said that there were some things hard to be understood in the epistles of Paul.  I am glad he wrote those words because I have felt that often.  So do not expect always to get an emotional charge or a feeling of quiet peace when you read the Bible.  By the grace of God you may expect that to be a frequent experience, but often you will get no emotional response at all.  Let the Word break over your heart and mind again and again as the years go by, and imperceptibly there will come great changes in your attitude and outlook and conduct.”
