When I was a new Believer, I would binge read the Bible. I would finish entire books in a day such as the Pauline Epistles, but those are quicker to read I find.
I would read up to 30 Chapters of Genesis in 1 day. Look up multiple Bible studies, I was even interested in learning the Greek and Hebrew. The history of Israel.
I have come very far I believe.
I am still as strong as a believer as I was when I first believed, but I am not reading the Bible daily or as frequently anymore. I am not tired of it, and I am not uninterested, I just sort of want to slow down.
I ask myself, how is it I believe the Bible is the word of God, yet I am not reading the entire Bible or even finished reading it?
I do know part of it has to do with the time commitment, I am a little overwhelmed if I read it for hours a day.
Now I'm starting to slow down. And read portions of it a day or weekly. With a hour long Bible study about once a month.
