Hey Blog Fam
Trust you are doing great and following hard after all that the Lord has placed in your heart.
Today's post is about how we can cultivate reading God's opinion on the different subject matters that exist and how we can open His love notes (the bible) to us more frequently.
I am very aware of how busy life can get that the last time you personally open your Bible is in church on Sunday and before you know it, it's another Sunday morning during your preparation for church that you remember you even own a Bible. And this is not because you were reading the digital versions during the week, it was just that you didn't read any, both the hard copy and e-copy, and none was read.
Writing about this today is not to make you feel like you are not doing enough, and if you know within you that you are not doing as much as you can do and that your walk with God can be better, then take this as a push from one believer in Christ to another to pursue our Christ like our lives depends on it, because it actually does.
I remember how I once blogged here about how I was able to read the bible through in one year, while reading the bible should not take the place of studying the bible, but reading is such a great way to start.

So recently, I was on Facebook, and a beloved woman of God I follow mentioned how she was able to read the entire bible in four months. I was sincerely intrigued.
This was me who had finished the bible in 2020 and I re-read the entire bible again in 2021, but in 2022, so many things happened, and although I started the journey, I could not complete it, and I wasn't so happy with myself at the end of the year.
But, then, we go again, right?
So, when at the beginning of year 2023 I saw a challenge in one of the groups I belong to challenging us to read the new testament, I quickly took it up.
During that season, I had a lot going on in my life, one of which was my professional certification program which you will get more details about soon, I knew that reading through the new testament was something I wanted to do. And as I publish this post on Thursday 18th May, 2023, I am happy that I have been able to read the New Testament to completion.
That is only a part of the story
Now, let's get to where it gets more interesting.
So, after I saw the post of the beloved woman of God who completed the Bible in four months, I was challenged in a good way, and on the 15th of May, 2023, I also decided to start my own journey too, this will be the smallest timeframe I have ever tried to read the entire bible in, and I am so happy to be doing this.
I am not doing this challenge alone, I am doing it with my reading partner, so instead of reading the daily portion individually, we both get on a call every night and then take turns reading out the chapters we are supposed to read daily to ourselves, that way we can hear our voices, stop and ask each other questions, laugh about some things and keep each other accountable on this wonderful journey.
I am really looking forward to the Abimbola that will emerge after this challenge.
My writing about this is not to brag to you or show that I have attained, I am just a girl in pursuit of the Lord to know him more. So the intention is not to brag at all!
This is the guide I am using to read the Bible in 4 months, and if you will want to join me, then you can start yours too.
The year 2023 is almost getting into half, it's time to take our relationship with God more seriously too.
Cheers to a great relationship with the Lord, of knowing him and being known by Him!
There is so much Light***
