bible in a year (or 3)

I finally finished Jeremiah tonight. And wow, blogging this is quite convicting. I haven't blogged about my Bible in a year since February this year! As Ruey would say to Ynez 'Shame Shame!'. Shame Shame indeed.

I've been really slack with my Bible reading. I think I have had Jeremiah and Ezekiel as my last two books to read for a while now (maybe not quite as long as February, but still it's been pretty long). I think with Jeremiah, I didn't really know what was going on. I get that the people of Israel had rebelled, and I get that Jeremiah was saddened by this, and I get that despite all of that he kept trying to preach to them, but I just found that my mind kind of wandered off and never came back.

I guess the main lesson I got out of Jeremiah was that it's a serious thing to mess with God's people. God won't tolerate unfaithful shepherds and He will weed them out to ensure His sheep are protected.

Now all I have left is Ezekiel. I have read part of it already I think, but I have no idea where I read up to, so I think I might have to start from Chapter 1 again. Let's hope I'll stick it out to the end and that I won't take too long to do so!
