The Word: More Precious Than Gold, Sweeter Than Honey

Yesterday marked the half way point of the year 2010. If you're like most people, you've probably spent less time over the first half of this year reading the Bible than you would have liked. Let the second half of this year be better. Here is a six month reading plan for the New Testament (click the notes tab to the left to download a phf of the plan). It is only about a chapter a day - some days more. This is not a hard plan to follow. What better thing could there be than to commit to reading the Word? The psalmist says that the Word is "more to be desired than gold" and "sweeter also than honey" (Psalm 19:10-11). Do you treasure the Word? Is is sweet to you? Let this be true for the rest of 2010.
