I made it through 1 month!! I figured the first month would most likely be the easiest and I can't really say if this is true or not yet but God has continued to provide me with passion to read and the result is that I'm ahead a few days in my readings. I did miss a couple of days here and there so I need to work on things still but overall I think it's been going pretty well. I can already tell that this was a good idea for me to pursue and I'm glad that God pushed this on my heart. Even reading a little bit each day has helped me learn a lot and has helped my overall life in general.
On my very first day, I read about how sin desires to have us, and how we must learn to master it. I'm already learning that reading the bible every day really helps to master sin. Of course there's still plenty of sin in my life but I see more and more how I can get rid of it. I thought that this kind of related with how I played sports my whole life. Playing hockey and golf for a long time put me in a lot of different game time situations. The more I played, the more experience I had, and the more experience I had enabled me to find the best moves or best shots for the situations I was put into. My walk with God feels similar to me. The more I read the bible and the more I pray gives me more spiritual experience. This spiritual experience in turn helps me master my sins and learn how to avoid them. I still feel like a noob as far as my spiritual experience goes, but I'm glad that God is pushing me to read more and learn more about him. I want to say thanks to everyone that has been keeping me accountable, it really helps a lot even if it may not seem like it.
