Day 48

Lev 4:1-5:19; Mark 2:13-3:6; PS 36:1-12; PR 10:1-2

Mark 2 - Isn't it funny how the Pharisees just followed Jesus around trying to get Him in trouble? The amazing thing is I know people like that today too. They just watch with eagle eyes waiting for God's people to mess up so they can discredit them.  Unfortunately we can all fall into this trap.  Jesus had the answer for them over and over again.  My favorite one is when they ask Him why He's eating with the tax collectors and sinners.  These "holier than thou" men can't believe that this great teacher would even attempt to rub shoulders with these horrible people.  Jesus answer is simple, healthy people don't need a doctor.  This is just further proof that we as a church and as Christians are not called to just focus on the inside of the church or on each other.  We've already found the truth but what about all those people who have yet to find Christ?  Stop judging people who help those you don't think deserve help.  Jesus didn't come to reach the churched but the unchurched. I figure if that's good enough for Him it's good enough for me.

Days 40-47

Okay, so I've really dropped the ball on blogging. I've been keeping up with the reading but haven't found the time to get the words onto the site.  I'm gonna get back on track this week and will come back at a later date to transfer the words from my journal to the blog.  Hope you're all keeping up and remember don't worry if you miss some days, just pick up on the right day and keep going.

Day 39

Ex 28:1-43 Matt 25:31-26:13 PS 31:9-18 PR 8:12-13

MT - If you have ever thought that being a christian was all about going to church, singing songs and putting in time until Jesus came back, then this passage of scripture in chapter 25 just blew your theory out of the water. Clearly Jesus has called us to be more.  There is such a balance to what our life is supposed to be. While we need to spend time studying and learning, fellowshiping with the saints and encouraging the body of believers, we can't ever forget what the reason is behind all that. We are called to GO INTO all the world and preach the gospel. In these verses He makes it clear how we can do that.  Practical ministry.  Practical outreach. Practical love.  Being the hands and feet of Jesus.  I really noticed that  none of these ministries occurred inside the church. It all took place outside the walls. Inside ministry is meant to build and empower us as believers to take the message out into the world.

Day 36

Ex 21:22-23:13; Matt 24:1-28; PS 29:1-11; PR 7:6-23

MT 24:4     So why am I reading through the bible, and why should we all continue on in this journey through His word.  This verse sums it up.  "Take heed that no one deceives you."  It's important that we know God's word because the day is coming when the things Jesus told His disciples about will come to pass. In fact as you look through this passage of scripture I think it's pretty safe to say that we're there.  So what do we have that can help steer us through these times. Again, it's God's word. There will be a lot of people and those that call themselves teachers that will speak false doctrines.  We need to study the words of Jesus so that we will not fall into these traps.  I'm tired of seeing people get so caught up in something they heard years ago and not having any kind of personal relationship with Jesus. One of the greatest moments in my life came when I realized that I could hear from God on my own as well as learning through others teaching.  If you don't study what is truth you will be more likely to be deceived.

Exodus - Anyone else glad we are saved by Grace?

Day 35

Ex 19:16-21:21; Matt 23:13-39; PS 28:1-9; PR 7:1-5


PS 28:1   This is the first thing I read and it just hit me like a ton of bricks.  "To you I will cry, O Lord my Rock."  It just hit me, that's what we are supposed to do. That should be our reaction to every problem in our lives. And not just a reaction, our FIRST reaction.  There was nothing that came before David's statement. This is where he began..."To you I will cry."  He's planned this out and he's making a commitment that when problems come along it is God that he is going to run to. Why? Because he recognizes the God is his Rock. This is true for all us.  He is our sure foundation. The only one who will never leave or forsake us. The only one who will never fail. He is our all in all.  Is God the one that you will cry out to?  He is my Rock!!! Thank you Jesus that you hear me when I call!!!
