Women's Conference 2022 - Read Your Bible
Dear CBC Women,
Welcome to the Bible Reading Challenge 2023-2024! I am thrilled that you are embarking on the journey of reading God’s Word in its entirety over the next nine months. For many of you, you have years of experience of reading through God’s Word on a yearly basis. But for some, this may be your very first time reading through your Bible cover-to-cover. I am so excited that you are joining us!
Jeremiah 6:16 says, This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” In this chapter of Scripture, the prophet Jeremiah is warning God’s people that a judgement is coming, and they need to listen and heed God’s Word. I love how Jeremiah (through the Holy Spirit) describes the Word of God: the ancient paths and the good way.
In the Bible Reading Challenge, we are women standing at the crossroads and we are pursuing that road sign: the ancient paths. We will walk through some books of the Bible that will feel like just that, ancient. But even though we may not fully understand everything we are reading, we know that the truth found in them is the good way. I promise you, the more you journey on this path, the more the Word will begin to make sense to you as you become a lifelong reader of God’s Word.
Our plan begins this Monday, September 4. I am including the paper plan here. You can access this link anytime or you can print it out.
The Bible Reading Challenge plan is also available in digital format here.
This is where you can easily listen to the audio of the daily readings and comment with any insights or encouragement. This link is available to any CBC woman (and your friends) to join.
We use the Youversion Bible app. Please know that I am not recommending any of the content on the app - we are using it as an avenue for us to read together only. Please don’t get sidetracked!
We begin our reading on Monday in Psalm 119. It is the longest Psalm and the longest chapter of Scripture in the Bible. There are 22 sections of 8 verses, with each section representing a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The theme repeated in every verse is the word of the Lord. It could have been written this way as a memory device, but most likely so that we could see that every aspect of God’s Word is sufficient for life and godliness.
Use Sunday to meditate and write out portions of this Psalm as you prepare for reading/listening to God’s Word this year.
As a reminder, all you need for the Bible Reading Challenge is your Bible! I want you to come to the Word of God each day just as you are and welcome it into your ordinary life. On the app, you will be able to LISTEN to the Word each day. This is what I do first thing in the morning.
