If in doubt what to read over the next couple of days … here are a couple of suggestions:
St Stephen’s Day (Dec 26th) Acts 6:8-10; & 7:54 – 59
St John the Evangelist (Dec 27th) Jn 20:2 – 8 and/or Jn 21:15-25
Holy Innocents (Dec 28th) Matthew 2:13 – 18
I’m still not sure what to read come January which is already on Friday!
In order to read through the NT we’ve still got the Gospel of John and Revelation to work through, the Epistles of Paul to the Corinithians (1 and 2), as well as that of James.
Any requests or suggestions? What is working for you? What isn’t? Do let me know either in the comments or an email to seethroughfaith AT gmail DOT com should get to me.

Stephen … “a man full of God’s grace and power” … it struck me today that it’s no surprise that Stephen ignited feelings of jealousy and opposition in those who were not part of that move of God … the enemy hates it when anyone – including Stephen – but it applies as much today – moves in the power of God by the grace of God.
It also struck me that we Christians need to be humble … God can and does move in ways that we don’t always understand … as John 1 says … the darkness doesn’t understand the light … and for this reason I often pray that God will open the eyes of my heart, of my faith, to recognise Him and trust Him more and more
oops forgot that we had planned to read through the Gospel of Luke … so we’ll start that on Friday.
It starts with the familiar nativity stories and is PERFECT for Christmastide
so the plan is
Luke, 24 chapters …that’s more or less all of January
then James 5 chapters (one week in early Feb)
1 & 2 Corinithians 16 + 12 = 28 chapters mid Feb to late in March
then John 21 (four weeks) March April
By then we should be v. close to Easter (I haven’t checked)
so we’ll take Revelation (22 exciting chapters) during the period of Pentecost right after Easter
