Why am I doing this?

I have found that I am in need of a project. I also have several goals that seem to be nagging me lately. 1. I need to get in shape. Although round is a shape, it's not so much what I am looking for. 2. I need to read the Bible more. It has yet to become a vital foundation to my faith on a consistent basis. 3. I would like to write more. It's something I greatly enjoy, but simply do not make time for it.

So I have decided to take the next 90 days to simultaneously complete the P90X fitness challenge, Read the Bible in 90 Days, and Blog about my entire experience. Viola! This condenses all three goals into a single project.

Day 32

Workout- Cardio X
Bible Reading- 1 Chronicles 24 - 2 Chronicles 7:1-10

At church we have been going though a series called "God's Redemptive Story". We are basically starting with Genesis and going through the entire bile highlighting all of the major stories. This entire process has taken a year and today was finally the last day of this series! It seems like it has taken forever! This morning John asked me to share what I thought to be the major takeaway point form this entire endeavor. I don't feel that I had any major insight into this, but this is what I came up with.

God has had the end in mind from the very beginning. He didn't create the world and just wing it. He knew where life was headed from day 1. From my reading yesterday, God shares with David that one of his descendants will reign forever. That descendant was Jesus. All they way back in the beginning of the Bible, God knows that he will send his son to redeem us. That's a pretty reassuring thought.

That says to me that God has that same plan for us. He knows where we have been and from day 1 he has had a plan for us. No matter what we are struggling with and what troubles we may have, he has a plan for us and a way to redeem us. Amen!
