Hello, Elegant Lovelies,
This is day 6 of the fast that my hubby and I joined with our Church. We declare that 2019 will be the best year ever for a breakthrough in our lives and everyone who is reading these words at this moment. If you haven’t already, go to cotr.org/21days and download the journal and if you would like for us to be in agreement with you, please share.
The fast is not a weight loss program. The number one purpose is to strengthen our personal relationship with God. And one tool to incorporate is reading the bible and finding a plan for you. Our Pastor asked if we could go through the Chronological Bible with him this year like we did last year.
Oh, that men would praise (and confess to) the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men!
For He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry soul with good. Psalm 107:8,9 Amplified
My hubby and I went through the Chronological Bible plan on the Youversion app, but this year we are going to go through the Christian Standard Day by Day Chronological Bible with Daily Readings guided by Dr. George Guthrie.
What’s cool?
“In this plan, the books, chapters, and verses of the Bible are thoughtfully arranged so readers can track the story of Scripture, day-by-day, from beginning to end, understanding the flow of events and how the grand narrative of Scripture applies to everyday life. Unlike other chronological Bibles, this arrangement is not date specific (e.g. “January 1″), so the reading plan can begin at any point in the calendar year.”
“Features Include: 52 weeks of readings (six readings per week) in chronological order, Scripture presented in three main acts (God’s Plan for All People; God’s Covenant People; God’s New Covenant People) and seventeen total scenes, an introduction for each act and scene to orient the reader to its importance in the grand story, single-column text with plenty of space for taking notes, concordance, smyth-sewn binding, presentation page, and full-color maps.”
I am the type of person that I like the electronic versions of books. However, I also like picking up a physical book and going through the pages.

And, I have to read through chapters more than once. One time isn’t enough for me because it may take me reading a scripture or a chapter several times to truly get what the words are saying to me in my life. Fasting is a time to reflect, listen, gain wisdom, and hear from God.

I have been looking for a more understanding bible to read and this one sounds like it would be awesome. Also, I love that this bible can be started anytime of the year, unlike some of the others I have read through.

Ive been selected as a Sunday School teacher. I need some guidance and this would be a great help to me People ask questions about the lessons I present and I dont always have answers. I would love to study more and this would help.
Thank you for entering the Giveaway!Congrats on being selected as a Sunday School Teacher. None of us has all the answers. Being able to have a good resource to study more is a good idea.
Honestly, my relationship with God has grown distant and I am finding it hard to pick up and relate over the last several years. We moved away from a very tight-knit church family and couldn’t find anything here that was even close. I’m hoping that something written in a way that will speak to me in a day to day basis will help me get back into the word.
Thank you, for entering the Giveaway. I agree the best way to grow closer to God is to read his word daily and ask Him for revelation. Have you asked God to show you a new church home? Another good tool that I do daily is a gratitude journal. I have added you to my prayer list.
I have a strong interest in understanding the Bible more clearly, I love colored pics that point out certain important parts of the Bible or any book. I like taking notes an an under line or highlite parts that stand out to me, God’s word is very important to me, I want to understand it better. ☺️📖
Thank you, Lena for entering the giveaway. I really think that being able to see the bible more clearly and in turn developing that personal relationship with God is such a revelation.
This will help me build a relationship with God which is what I really need, and I can have bible study with my family. Thank you for the opportunity!
Thank you, Shakeia, for entering the giveaway. Bible Study with the family is a great way to build up the family. When my hubby and I do this I know it strengthens our relationship.
If I were to win this giveaway, I would use it daily. My husband and I read our bibles together each night. Thank you for this giveaway.
Thank you, Jeannie, for entering the giveaway. When my hubby and I read together, I know that the revelation from the Word is so much stronger.
