I had a great sense of accomplishment on December 31, 2006 after completing The Daily Bible-In Chronological Order, 365 Daily Readings (for the first time after over 45 years as a Christian!). So much so that I decided to take on The Lookouts 2007 Bible Reading Plan. I think there are enough different reading plans out there that I should be able to do this for years to come. I’ve found that often times my reading serves as a springboard into further study of a topic or incident. Other benefits include becoming more familiar with God’s Word and having God speak to me through a portion of his word as if I had never seen it before. It’s time I look forward to every morning. Now if I could only develop the same discipline in my walking!

I started reading the One Year Bible mid-year in ’06 and only missed a handful of days. Ironically, the days I missed were over the Christmas holidays as that’s when my “routine” got messed up by time off and family.

One thing that helped me stay consistent was my accountability partner. Though we’re seperated by hundreds of miles, we have daily contact via email. After my devo every morning, I write out what I learned, a little application, what’s going on in my life, etc, and shoot it off to him. He does likewise. This is also a form of “journaling” and the only form of journaling I’ve ever been able to stick with.

Finally, this has not just been a ritual or something to “check off”, this has been a daily time spent with God. This new discipline has changed me like few other things (and I’m 46 years old).

My advice is to get a partner and stick with it.
