My New Year’s resolution
Was to read the Bible through, Both old and new testaments – Maps, concordance, too. Day one went really well – The story of creation, Followed by the ark, All in my fave translation. In those first few weeks I read of Moses and the law, The Ten Commandment tablets And the blessings Israel saw. But, along about day thirty, Leviticus came in view, All those rules and sacrifices And offering guidance, too. Instead of easy stories, I was faced with rules of old, And my New Year’s reading challenge Started growing pretty cold. So, here I am, once again, Stalled before Book Five, So maybe when the next year comes, I’ll jump in and take the dive. But, here will be my plan From day one of that new year: Start with Revelation And work backward from the rear. And maybe I might see By looking at the end The value of Leviticus And the message that it sends.
