2013 DAILY BIBLE READING GUIDE Why is a Bible Reading Guide important? 1) It helps us to read the Bible systematically. 2) Reading haphazardly risks getting bogged down or giving up. 3) Bible reading helps us to grow in our faith. 4) A little time spent with Scripture each day allows God to speak through His Word and guide us in our walk with Him. If the Guide is used every day during 2013, 56 books of the Bible will be utilized and 11 will be read entirely. With intention for 2013, all 79 biblical texts used in Handel's ‘Messiah,’ will be read, as will the 12 'Great Prayers' of the Old Testament. Many people who read God's Word draw strength from it. Its truth can be relied on as unchanging promises from God. Ask God to open your eyes as you read, that you might see Him in a fresh way and open your ears that you might hear His voice speaking to you. This is the 28th consecutive Guide prepared by Rev. Dr. K. L. Peterson. It is based on texts used in the Revised Common Lectionary and other Lectionaries. We are grateful to the Canadian Bible Society for permission to use this plan of readings.
