I&#8217;ll be reading alongside you, sharing observations here and there along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week we start right at the beginning of Matthew and will continue bit by bit through the end of Revelation by Day 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So many people, Christians and non-Christians alike, WANT to read the whole Bible. And so few, comparatively, actually DO it. But YOU can. I&#8217;ve already broken it down into easy to follow reading plans. I and the whole MomsToolbox posse will be right here with you, reading, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So&#8230; Why not start by reading the New Testament first? <strong>In just 40 Days, at about 20 minutes a day, you&#8217;ll have the whole thing read and will be able to think through for yourself what YOU hear and what YOU think about it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you invite a friend or 4 to join you, it will be even easier as you can check in with each other and even chat about things that come up in the reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s simple. Grab any copy of the New Testament, digital or paper, download the schedule here in MomsToolbox each Monday, read and check off as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re up for an extra step, I typically journal as I read, watching, reading and listening to the Holy Spirit as to what is being shared for me s<em>pecifically<\/em> each day. I decipher that by using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/what-is-soap\/\">SOAP method<\/a> and record my thoughts in my day planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today Matthew 7:24-25 grabbed me. I can sum up what I heard for me in this: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Don't just listen to what to do, DO THE WORK! (Ouch-- and a great reminder!! No more planning and messing around. DO IT!)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course I&#8217;d LOVE for you to join me in reading and SOAP&#8217;ing&#8230; but, really, just the reading is a fantastic place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to jump in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the New Testament in 40 Days reading schedule for week 1:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/NT-in-40-Week-1-341x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18688\" width=\"171\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/NT-in-40-Week-1-100x300.jpg 100w, http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/NT-in-40-Week-1-512x1536.jpg 512w, http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/NT-in-40-Week-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 171px) 100vw, 171px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/NT-in-40-Week-1.pdf\">You can download and print your own copy of the bookmark here: NT-in-40-Week-1<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/NT-in-40-Week-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Will you join me this time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d love for you to do so.
