Reading the Bible thru

Genesis 2:15-17 God gave man purpose : manage Earth. God also gave man choice of life or death. Was man grateful? Would he live for God? Did man believe God? This would be proven in man's choices.
IT is good to read the Bible through in a year, but it is better to read it slow and get the goodie out of it.
Let me encourage those that have decided to read the Bible through in a year to keep that reading separate from your quiet time where you read slowly and listen to what God is saying to you. There is a difference. You don't want to speed read God's Word. Annual reading helps me find references (Oh that's where that is found in the Bible!). Quiet time reading is where the "Aha" moments take place (Oh that's what God wants me to do!) There is a difference, and there is a place for both.
Read God's Word for life transformation this year.
