My Favourite Bible Reading Plan
Reading the bible in chronological order, gives us a sense of the whole story and helps us to discover God’s character. As we read and reflect on the daily readings, God’s character is revealed to us and we are changed by His grace, which in turn impacts our earthly relationships and lens of how we see and treat others (including our children). As Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
