Thanks JDJDJD. By_Grace_Alone, this month I'm learning Romans 3 and Daniel 2, one verse a day for each. When I have enough time I add new verses (in order) from other books of the Bible: Revelation, Matthew, John, Ephesians, Galatians, and Acts. Once I've finished Romans 3 and Daniel 2, I'll shift to another book(s) of the Bible from that list, eventually (several years from now) completing all of them. That's my plan.
Thanks JDJDJD. I personally like rotating among those various books of the Bible rather than focusing on only one until it is completed. But to each their own. If I'm faithful to do 2 new verses per day, I will finish those books and letters sometime in 2021. God willing, of course :) I know it's been said many times, but using this website (and others that are similar) has really changed my life. God's Word, when taken seriously, changes a person's life for the better.
Amazing goal, joosep. You have to have the right motive to do it like that. You don't get any of the good feelings of accomplishment when you finish a whole book (at least not until a long time in the future). Having said that it would be maddeningly slow getting through a section just to hear a whole story or parable or argument. But then again maybe it would encourage you to read more (without memorising)? Very interesting.
I personally have found it beneficial because I don't want to focus on the same book all the time ... I need variety. Of course, as you noted Graetzmi, there's also nothing stopping me from reading ahead whenever I wish to. It's a very long term goal; but on the other hand, it involves the satisfaction of short term goals as well, such as approximately two new chapters per month, on average. I don't mind having such a long term goal because I firmly believe that He will keep me, and us, and that I will have the same beliefs about His Word in 2021 as I do now. Of course, reaching that goal will also depend on if I or we are even alive in 2021. But there's a bigger reason for knowing God's Word; and that is to know Him. His Word, I believe, is like a love letter to us. It means very little to know His Word intellectually without actually knowing HIM. Knowing Him is the whole point. Sorry, but I launched into a sermon there.
