God wants each of us in His Word daily.
The Bible in 90 Days Challenge is a great way to purposefully read every word of Scripture from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 in a systematic way. Following the Bible in 90 Days Challenge, you'll read about 10 chapters every day for a period of 90 days. That's right, 90 days.
This is not impossible!
Let me ask you a couple of questions. How much time do you spend watching television each day? How much time do spend playing video games each day? How about those "games" on Facebook that ya'll are playing? I thought so.
Now, I'm just as guilty as anyone and I can tell you that reading the Bible in 90 Days is very possible. It's simply a matter of priorities. God asks us who we love more. God wants us to choose Him. Loving God and choosing Him have a cost. Reading Scripture is a cost of time and a little bit of effort.
Did I struggle? At first, yes. Then as the days went by it became easier. Reading the Bible in 90 days requires about an hour of your time each day. You can read it in the morning. You can do your reading in the at night before you go to bed. You can read at lunch break or while the laundry is in the wash. Do whatever works best for you. Me? What works for me is about 30 minutes before I leave for work in the morning and 30 minutes before I lay my head down at bedtime.
Reading the Bible in 90 days at those times has become a set of bookends for my day. This is doable.
