Bible in a Year (pt.16)

I was blown away at the picture of worship written in 2nd Chronicles Ch.5…check it out here. I love the last verse that says; “The priests could not continue their work because the glorious presence of the Lord had filled the temple.” What an incredible picture of worship. The nation of Israel had gathered to [...]

Here’s a great verse that leads to a tough question… “I rejoice in Your Word like one who finds a great treasure” – Psalm 119:162 Question: Is this true of me? Is this true of you? I’m not much of a reader. I’m lucky if I get through 5 or 6 books a year. For many [...]

Bible in a Year (pt.14) – Living Expectantly

Joshua 3:5 says; “Then Joshua told the people; purify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do great wonders among you.” – Can you imagine living with that kind of expectancy? Can you imagine living life knowing that tomorrow God would do great wonders? I don’t know about you, but that’s how I want to live! [...]

So let the debate begin…What Psalm is the greatest? I can hear everyone chiming in with their responses as I type. For me, the greatest Psalm would have to be Psalm 63. Today’s reading included all 11 verses of this great chapter. Check it out here. I love a Psalm that leaves you asking yourself some [...]

Bible in a Year (pt.12)

I’ve been making my way through Leviticus in the Old Testament portion of my reading. The last several days have been focused on the various instructions God gave the Israelites through Moses. I have to admit, it’s not always the most exciting portion of scripture to read, but there is one thing in particular that keeps [...]

Bible in a Year (pt.11)

It’s amazing to me that we miss the clear hand of God so often. For me, I can count an endless list of events and circumstances where God has reached down and shown His power, provision and peace in my life. In Mark 8, we see the disciples have the same struggle. Read vs. 16-21 [...]

Bible in a Year (pt.10)

Here’s a few things that have jumped out at me over the last week or so… Ex. 34:14 says; “You must worship no other gods, but only the Lord, for he is a God who is passionate about his relationship with you.” I love the fact that God is passionate about us. I love that He [...]

Bible in a Year (pt. 9)

I love Moses. After a rough start in life, God calls him to something he’s completely uncomfortable with…leading the nation of Israel. Moses got to experience all the good stuff. The plagues on Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, The Manna from Heaven, The pillar of fire by day and cloud by night, the [...]

Bible in a Year (pt. 8)

Reading on through Exodus this morning and found that Moses had the same problem many of us do…He was overloaded! Read Ex. 18:13-27. This is such a great Old Testament example of a modern day issue. Moses was a “do it all” kind of guy. Sure there were important things that needed to be handled directly [...]

Bible in a Year (pt.7)

Matthew 20:29-34 says;  29 As Jesus and the disciples left the town of Jericho, a large crowd followed behind. 30 Two blind men were sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was coming that way, they began shouting, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” 31 “Be quiet!” the crowd yelled at them. But [...]
