FeedTheVillage.com - Tips and AdviceReligion- Priorities

Once again, I have started reading my One Year Bible with the full intention of completing each daily reading to have completed reading through the entire Bible by the end of the year. The problem being that I have done this for the past few years, and usually make to about March before it all falls apart. Somehow life seems to get in the way and God's Word ends up getting put on the back burner.

I will get behind and try to catch up, but usually end up getting discouraged and quitting.

I wonder how it is that I have trouble completing the daily 10-15 minutes required to complete each reading. This amount of time is not much when you put your whole day into perspective. There always seems to be time to do those things we want to do (workout, watch TV, talk on the phone, etc.) So often in life we choose to spend our time on things that are less important, neglecting those things that should be given a higher priority. Even with the best of intentions, we will never accomplish our goals when our focus and priorities are off.

I am determined to make this the year that I complete that One Year Bible, but this will only happen if I keep my focus on God and make him a priority.
