How to use 52 Weeks in the Word:
If you’ve been following along this past year, you’ve seen a few of these tips before. I want to ensure that those new to using 52 Weeks in the Word can get started strong. But having done this several times, I have a few additional thoughts to help you this year.
Here's some quick tips for using "52 Weeks in the Word: A Companion for Reading Through the Bible in a Year:"
Read the suggested chapters daily, but don’t be afraid to break them up. If you read in the morning but don’t finish, read it during your lunch break or before bed.
Use the journaling space. The journaling space will help you read actively and keep your mind engaged. If you don’t like writing, feel free to skip it or use it to write out a prayer or one thing you learned from your reading.
Take advantage of the rest day to read my reflection, catch up, or study. But also, feel free to read ahead!
Enjoy! It’s a journey. Have fun reading. Find a friend to join you. But don’t add unnecessary pressure. Our goal is growth in our love of the Lord and His Word.
Keep sight of the long view—this is not just a goal. We are reading the most important book in the world. There’s transformative power in those pages. One day we’ll get to thank the Lord for each Word. Keep that in mind as you read.
It’s a joy to read the Bible with you!
Gratefully,
Trillia
