It’s not as overwhelming as it sounds, right? I could cover I and II Peter in under a half an hour. Even a long book like Genesis takes only 3.5 hours to read through. I have to admit I’ve binge-watched Downton Abbey for about the same amount of time on a sick day before.
With a good plan in place and daily prayer asking the Spirit for self-control, you can easily and joyfully read through the Bible this year. I promise you will never regret sacrificing those 76 hours of your life. The rewards far outweigh the minutes.
