Hello JDJD! I just need to tell you that unfortunately, my streak got broken. I was cancelling some of the individual verses without realizing that I cancelled one which was a part of the streak. And then I couldn't remember exactly which verse it was.
So now I am at 107.
I'm at peace about it, God's Word is still God's Word.
Oh no. That’s tough. If you can remember which it is and add it again the streak will come back. But it sounds like you’ve tried that. I’m at peace about my broken streak too. If I get to my 3 years, I worry that I will stop adding a verse a day. And I benefit so much from that. I was thanking the Lord a day or two ago that I’m back at the beginning and have 3 years (or longer!) ahead of me of adding a verse a day and being blessed by it.
thanks for your encouragment, and I agree with you. Part of the problem, I think, was that I was learning an individual version in a Bible version which I don't usually use. So not only am I not sure about the verse, I'm also not sure about the version. I tried to "re-add" it for ten minutes ago, but then felt like it was ok to just accept it.
I'll check in with you again in a couple of weeks or so, and until then, the Lord's blessings upon you.
I’m at 1,066 day streak…with a new verse a day…and like you JDJD am being blessed…I also did the book of Colossians…what a blessing when you really understand what the New Testament is really saying…it’s true “every blessing in heavenly places, in Christ”
It’s great to read all your comments, and hear how much you’re enjoying the process, irrespective of broken streaks. The blessing is in spending time with the Word of God, much more than badges or stats. May God bless you richly today, and every day!
Amen. What do we have that we have not received? I appreciate everyone’s encouragement. It is exciting to see the body of Christ in action….one with this grace …another with something different…but all lifting up Christ Jesus the Lord. Amen
Good evening. I’m at 34. Or I will be after I’ve added my verse in a few moments. The period before Christmas is always my riskiest time. I try to add my verse in the morning. If it gets left to the end of the day it’s often after midnight when I get to my verses. So I’m pleased to be at 34 and not back at zero. Enjoying it all. I’m in John 10 just now. One of my favourites. I love the theme of the Lord as The Good Shepherd. Hope you have a blessed Christmas Period and New Year.
thank you for the warm greeting. Yes, I too love John chapter ten. Verses 27 to 30 is a wonderful series of four verses and provide great comfort. In my opinion they also testify of the deity of Christ. He says that no one can snatch them out of My hand, and then adds that no one can snatch them out of the Father's hand. He thus makes Himself equal with God. God has given Him all authority (Matthew 28). In any case, we should meditate on that comfort (or at least I know I should) that no one can snatch me or take me out of the Father's hand. Merry Christmas as well to you and yours!
Well done Joosep. I’m at 13. It seems like a long journey ahead. But I love adding a verse a day. So it’s not a chore at all. Thanks for your checking in on me.
