Merry Christmas...and a Happy New BIBLE Year!

       Merry Christmas friends! I hope and pray that you were able to enjoy Jesus' birthday this past weekend. It can get so busy during Christmas, it is easy to forget about spending time with God. One of the most comforting thoughts for me is that even if I forget about God, God is faithful and does not forget about me.

      One of the most difficult things for those who are Christians is to be able to spend some time in God's word. Last year many took on the challenge of reading the Bible in one year! I know some were able to successfully complete this challenge, and while others may not have completed it, they did read more than they thought they could.

      I encourage you to do it again this coming year... Each time through the Bible, I not only learn more, I also understand more of God.  I draw closer to God while learning more about who God created me to be. As I read, God is faithful to speak to me when I meet with Him daily.              
       As always, before you begin reading ask God to meet you and speak to you as you read. Talk to God as you read about what the text is saying. I believe God is faithful to meet with you each time you read this way. Finally, note one, maybe two thoughts from your reading and think about it throughout the day. See how God speaks to you through these thoughts.

Have a safe and wonderful New Year celebration!

Blessings :-)
