Nourish Your Soul, Not Just Your Body
As we write down our resolutions, which are often fixated on physical health and wellness, let’s not forget the food for our soul. This year, let’s dive into a different kind of nourishment, one that fills our deepest spiritual hunger without the carb count! The 2024 BREAD Bible Reading Plan and the BREAD Bible are your trusty sidekicks for a year-long spiritual journey through God’s word.
These unique resources are designed not just to guide you through the Bible but to transform your daily reading into an enriching experience. The BREAD Bible Reading Plan offers a structured path through Scripture, while the BREAD Bible presents the Bible’s events in the sequence they occurred, providing a fresh perspective on familiar stories.
Transform Your Daily Reading into a Divine Encounter
In the heart of every Oneness Apostolic believer lies a desire for a deeper connection with God, and what better way to cultivate this relationship than through His Word? The 2024 BREAD Bible Reading Plan and the BREAD Bible are more than just reading schedules; they are gateways to discovering the richness and depth of the Bible in a structured and engaging way.
Daily Doses of Inspiration and Wisdom
The 2024 BREAD Bible Reading Plan is designed to guide you through the entire Bible over the course of the year. Each day presents a new passage, allowing you to immerse yourself in Scripture systematically and thoughtfully. This daily practice not only becomes a spiritual discipline but also a source of daily inspiration and wisdom.
Meanwhile, the BREAD Bible in Chronological Order offers a unique approach by presenting the Bible’s events in the order they happened. This chronological arrangement allows you to experience the unfolding of God’s story like never before. It’s like walking through history with God, witnessing how each event intricately weaves into His grand narrative of salvation and love.
Together, these resources provide a comprehensive and enriching journey through the Bible. They encourage not just reading, but reflection and deeper understanding. As you embark on this journey, you’ll find that each day’s reading is not just a task, but a stepping stone to a closer walk with God.
Scriptural BREAD Crumbs to Guide Your Path
First, you need to determine where you intend to set up your distraction-free Bible reading zone. Next, you need to determine when you will dedicate time each day to dive into the Word. Once those two key areas are determined, there’s nothing more to it than to do it! All the planning in the world is for naught if you don’t take action. Author and speaker John Maxwell once stated, “You cannot change your life until you change something you do every day.“ Paul the apostle stated in II Timothy 3:16–17, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work (ESV).”
As we embark on this journey with the 2024 BREAD Bible Reading Plan and the BREAD Bible, let’s ground ourselves in the wisdom of Scripture. Here are three more key verses from the Bible that underscore the importance of engaging with God’s Word:
- Psalm 119:105: “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” This verse beautifully illustrates how Scripture guides us in our daily lives, shining light on our path and decisions.
- Joshua 1:8: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” This passage emphasizes the
importance of constant meditation on God’s Word for success and prosperity in life.
- Hebrews 4:12: “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” This verse speaks to the living and active nature of God’s Word, capable of penetrating our deepest thoughts and intentions.
Other Steps to Take On Your Bible Reading Journey
The arrival of a new year often symbolizes a fresh start, an opportunity for change, and a time to set goals for personal improvement. It’s a moment to shift our paradigms, to look at our lives with a renewed perspective, and to commit to growth. Among all the resolutions we might set for ourselves, prioritizing our spiritual walk with God stands as the most significant and enduring. Here are just a few ways to do so:
- Embrace a Fresh Start with Scripture: Use the new year as a catalyst for a renewed commitment to daily Bible reading. The 2024 BREAD Bible Reading Plan and the BREAD Bible – Chronological Order are excellent tools to guide this journey, helping you to see Scripture with fresh eyes and a rejuvenated spirit.
- Talk to God directly: Prayer is an essential companion to daily Bible reading, acting as a spiritual catalyst that enriches our understanding and connection with Scripture. It opens our hearts and minds, allowing us to receive the necessary wisdom and insight needed from Heaven as we delve into God’s Word. By integrating prayer into our daily reading routine, we invite a deeper, more personal dialogue with God, transforming our reading experience from a mere goal into a living conversation and personal relationship with Jesus. Prayer also helps us apply the lessons of the Bible to our lives, seeking guidance and strength to live out its teachings. In essence, prayer is the bridge that connects the knowledge of Scripture with the wisdom of the heart, making our daily Bible reading a truly life-changing practice.
- Shift Your Paradigm: Approach your Bible reading with the mindset of seeking wisdom and guidance for daily living. Let the Word of God be the lens through which you view your challenges, decisions, and interactions. This shift in perspective can transform how you approach every aspect of your life.
- Commit to Growth: As you journey through the Bible, reflect on the lessons learned and how they apply to your life. No words are wasted in the Bible. Therefore, every passage has some nugget of truth that can be applied to our lives. Use these insights to grow spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. Aim to be a better version of yourself than you were last year, with your spiritual growth at the core of this transformation.
- Enduring Commitment: While many New Year’s resolutions fade within just the first few weeks, make a firm commitment to maintain your spiritual walk. Let it be the resolution that endures throughout the year. Regular engagement with the 2024 BREAD Bible Reading Plan and the BREAD Bible can provide the structure and motivation to keep this commitment strong.
- Reflect and Adjust: Regularly reflect on your progress with your Bible reading plan. If you find yourself straying or losing focus, don’t be discouraged. Adjust your approach, find new ways to engage with the Word, and remind yourself of the importance of this spiritual journey.
Spiritual Gym Time for Your Soul
By focusing on these practical steps, you can ensure that your spiritual walk with God remains a constant and enriching part of your life in 2024. Let this be the resolution that not only endures but also transforms your life in profound ways.
As we flip the calendar to next year, it’s like opening a fresh page in a book—crisp, unmarked, and brimming with potential. It’s that time again when we promise ourselves to hit the gym (more than once), cut down on coffee (or at least try), and maybe even learn a new language (bonjour, anyone?). But amid these ambitious resolutions, let’s focus on one that truly feeds our soul—deepening our spiritual journey with the 2024 BREAD Bible Reading Plan and the BREAD Bible.
Think of it as spiritual gym time for your soul—minus the sweat and the need for fancy sneakers. It’s our chance to flex those faith muscles and get spiritually fit. And the best part? You can do it in your pajamas, coffee in hand (because let’s be real, we’re not giving that up).
This year, let’s make our spiritual walk the resolution that sticks. It’s the one gym membership that won’t guilt-trip you for not showing up but will always welcome you back with open arms. As we journey through the Bible, let’s find joy in the small revelations, comfort in the familiar passages, and a sense of wonder in the new insights that are sent from Heaven in our hour of need.
