How many times do we set goals that we want to accomplish but doubt we’ll ever achieve?
My friend Wendy use to avoid setting goals because it seemed like every time she set one, she’d fail. Then one day she decided to accept the challenge she heard on her local Christian radio station to read the whole Bible in one year!
Wendy had always wanted to do this but wasn’t sure she would follow through. She’d almost convinced herself it was hopeless, but then she remembered these words from the Bible: With God all things are possible.
So Wendy’s husband bought her a Chronological Bible, and she started reading on January 1st. She told me she did miss some days and at times lost sight of her goal, but she made up what she missed and finished the Bible by the end of that year.
You know, Wendy’s success makes me want to read through the Bible this year!
