Reading through the Bible in ninety days is one of the more time consuming spiritual challenges I’ve pursued. Taking on spiritual goals is not new for me. I’ve read the Bible in a year (several times), done liturgical prayers each day for a year, practiced seasons of fasting, sought extended times of solitude, done intensive studies, and taken on other such ambitions.
But nothing has taken as much time out of the day as reading through the entire Bible in 90-days. This goal takes time, at least 30-45 minutes a day. And you can’t fall behind or you’ll never catch up. There are no days off with this challenge. I read on days when I work, travel, play, relax, find myself on an airplane, feeling sick, go for long road trips, or am just so busy that reading seems like pure luxury.
The good news? I’m exactly on pace and halfway there as of today! Even better, I’m finding enjoyment in the process. It’s a challenge, but one that has rewards worthy of the effort.
