Reminder: If you miss a day, pick up where you left off. Don’t let the daily readings (i.e. the dates) discourage you or overwhelm you. They are not as daunting as they look. Really! It is better to be reading as much as you are able than to quit because you just “can’t keep up” or get behind. I know all about having no time and lots of interruptions. And don’t forget, please don’t hesitate to stop and meditate on God’s Word. If a specific scripture jumps out at you and speaks to your heart, savor it, devour it, look it up in a concordance or a good commentary and learn about it. Memorize it. After all, that is the point - to get to know God, to learn about Him, to grow yourself spiritually, and to leave your time with God touched, changed, and filled – it is not to rush through just to finish.

By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. –Proverbs 24:3-4

In the four hundred and eightieth year after the people of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, he began to build the house of the LORD. -1Kings 6:1
