Although it is currently the 26th of August, I find myself a bit behind in my read through the Bible in a year calender. I'm only on April 24 (and for some reason began the whole program on Feb. 18's reading which means from a technical standpoint, im not doing so hot at all in getting through the Bible in a year...) im ok with that though cuz i find somedays (well, obviously most days:) ) if i read all of the recommended readings, i lose any meaning that was intended to be gained. and so i just have resorted to doing whatever is right for each day...sometimes the whole reading, sometimes just a portion, some days half of it, and alot of days ive found i dont even make it to reading. anyways, i vacillate between viewing myself as a lazy procrastinator who cant even get in a consistant reading everyday and the standpoint that I can only do what I can and trust God that He will work through whatever part of His word(even ittybitty sections) I am able to read. this is just all background info to the point im attempting to make, which would be this: God has orchestrated my sporatic, inconsistent reading of His word into this amazing schedule which He's correlated His words that I read precisely to what is going on in my life. For example, lately it seems like I've been facing more, seemingly impossible situations that appear entirely too time-consuming and downright inconquerable and neverending. They get to me at times and I'm left feeling defeated. Yet I've been reading (according to thereadthroughtheBibleinayearSchedule) Joshua and each morning I turn there I read about another "impossible" battle situation and over and over the same outcome ensues. God's affirmations of His control, His guidance, and ultimately His victory. One after another after another. "All these kings and their lands Joshua conquered in one campaign, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel." (Josh 10:41) Likewise, He's fighting for me. And He's already won. The little battles remain in my life, yet they've already been determined. In bringing this back to its beginnings, Ive determined that God has been in charge of my reading schedule. For how else could I have read the exact stories that I've read on the exact days in which I needed to read them? God's timing is perfect, and for this i am thankful!!
