Through the Bible in a year

Hi ladies,


We are on day 281 of reading through the Bible together.


Today in our reading, Jesus is at the pools of Bethesda. An amazing miracle happens there. A paralytic is healed. Jesus simply asks him "do you want to be made well?" 


That is a great question for all of us. What things have you been hanging onto that need healing from your Savior? Do you want to be made well? Ask and it shall be given to you!!! 


Jesus says "Rise up and Walk"!!!!

Reading through the Bible in a year

Hi ladies,

We are on day 273 today as we read through the Bible together.

Tomorrow on June 19th we begin the New Testament. If you are behind this is the perfect time to skip to day 274 on your reading plan. Don't be discouraged if you did not finish the Old Testament.
We will do this again!!! YAY!!!

Keep being in God's word and enjoying His presence!!!

Through the Bible in a year New Testament

Hi ladies,

Here is an update on where we are at in reading through the Bible. On June 19th we will be starting the New Testament. If you are behind and want to start fresh this would be a great time to jump ahead and start reading with us if you would like. It is ok if you did not finish the Old Testament. I am planning on doing this again starting in October.

Also want to encourage you, if you are looking at reading through the Bible in a year as just another thing to read, use it as your quiet time. Especially if you are struggling on where to spend you time in the Bible.

Draw near to Jesus today by being in His Word!!!

Pour out your heart before the Lord

It is so glorious to be in the presence of the Lord!!!

In the book of Ezra, the people came back to Jerusalem from Babylonian captivity. The people were so excited when just the foundation of the temple was being built. They wanted to be in the presence of the Lord. The Bible says they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the Lord!! They shouted with a great shout because the foundation was laid. Ezra 3:11. The temple was the place where the people could meet with the Lord and be in His presence!!!

How much more for us as believers to be excited to be in the presence of the Lord pouring out our hearts before Him as we meet with Him in prayer and the Word!! Come before the throne of grace boldly!!! (Hebrews 4)

Ladies,
 Please be in your word today. Please seek His face. Please find joy in Him today by being in His presence.

In Psalm 16:11, the Bible says, You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures evermore.

If we don't meet with Him how can we find the path He wants us on?
If we are lacking joy, could it be that we are not in His presence?
Are we seeking pleasures of our own? Look for pleasures by spending time with our Lord and Savior.
