It's been an exciting read most of the way through, picking up stuff that I haven't noticed previously, by not doing a sytematic read-through before. Really looking forward to getting the whole chronological context under wraps. Although I know that the Holy Spirit has this uncanny ability to hide things from you, just as he is purposed to reveal God through the scriptures, in order to stop you from being too complacent or robotic, as it were. Still, it seems to be a matter of personal ambition and empowerment for me to be able to have a more solid foundation to stand upon, in order to better be able to minister to others with confidence. (As I tend to be relying on the Spirit far more than the word at present, purely because of circumstancial inability to know a whole lot of scripture off by heart.) - Of course, I probably know more through indirect means than what I give myself credit for; but knowing the meaning and definition of a word are two diffetent things to me, and there's power in both, I believe.

I have followed a plan I developed several years ago (so I could give it away). It gets one through the entire Bible in a year with several books (Psalms, Proverbs, Gospels, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians) twice. It is designed chronologically in the OT. (I need to get that plan on the web - but do not have it there yet). I have done the 10 chapters a day in the NT (gets you through it in one month) before. I find with all the ministry on my plate + the Bible/Greek/Hebrew study I choose to do - 10 chapters a day gets taxing. However, I believe a systematic approach is very helpful. It doesn't really matter which system it is -- just use one. None of them are magic in any way, but if one will systematically put the word in, over the years it has a big positive effect. I have followed a through the Bible plan of one kind or another for many, many years. I find it presently a part of my morning ritual (so to speak). So regardless of which system - go for it!

Great that you take your Bible reading that seriously, and that you're disciplined enough to see your plans through. Jeff: Wow, that is forward thinking.

Next year I'll read through the OT in chronological order and other related material. I seem to plan far ahead for Bible related learning. Next year I hope to complete my three year plan I started a couple of years ago. Jeff Nathan I’m thinking 2011 (year after next).

Except I really like the TNIV for the Psalms for some reason. I might do a post collecting all the reading plans if I haven't done it before.
