Do you remember that song? “Read your Bible, pray everyday, pray everyday, pray everyday. Read your Bible pray every day and you’ll grow, grow, grow!” As you say “grow”, you inch up taller and taller. Well, I don’t go around singing that song (much) anymore, but it’s true. You might not actually get taller by reading God’s Word, but you certainly do grow – spiritually! In fact, the song also says, “Don’t read your Bible forget to pray and you’ll shrink, shrink, shrink.” That’s true, too! Reading God’s word everyday keeps it fresh in our minds, easy to recall and readily available to claim in a tough situation.
How ’bout starting this year off with a goal to read your Bible and pray everyday? Here is a link to my Christian Helps page – it has a variety of online resources that can help you in your daily walk with God. And, here are some new Bible reading schedules I just found!
Read at your pace and check it off as you go!
Read your Bible in a year
Read your Bible in 60 days
Read your Bible in 30 days
Happy New Year! May we begin the year, and each day therein, with the precious Word of God.
I've really enjoyed reading my Bible in the 90 days and I hope to accomplish it again.
Happy New Year!

I love that song, we sing it in my Childrens church class. I did not make resoulutions this year but did ask God for a verse and He gave me Psalm 51:10 and I am looking to God first and foremost this year. Loved your post.
