Day 31-One Month down!

Day 31-Psalms 48-59

I pray your praise, worship, and thanksgiving to the Lord are being stirred and on fire during this time of reading the Psalms.  I'm enjoying every minute and I hope you are too. 

Hang in there ladies!  We have covered a lot of territory and it only gets better as we dig deeper into God's word. 

My desire is for God to increase daily (within me) while the Psalms sing and rejoice to my heart.  I pray you hear God speaking, ministering, revealing, and loving you daily.

Be blessed ladies!  Be blessed! 
"Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be wither than snow." Ps 51:7 (NKJV)

Day 17: 1 Samuel 11-31

²⁰ And Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and gone on the mission on which the Lord sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. ²¹ But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.”

²² So Samuel said:

“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,And to heed than the fat of rams.
²³ For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,
And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.  1 Samuel 15

I pray today you are obeying the voice of the Lord. 

Lord please help us to hear your voice oh God and your command and not take it upon ourselves to do what WE think is best within your command after you oh God have CLEARLY given us EXACT instructions.  Amen. 

Day 16: Judges 17-21 & Ruth & 1Samuel 1-10

²⁰ Then Samuel said to the people, “Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. ²¹ And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing. 1 Samuel 12, NKJV

I'm praying you are still hanging in there!!! Love you!

Day 11: Numb 33-36; Deut 1-9

“Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess. ⁶ Therefore be careful to observe them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’  Deut 4:5-6

Day 10: Numbers 17-32

"God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent.  Has He said, and will He not do?  Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?"  Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)

Period.

Day 9: Numbers 1-16

I pray you are continuing to read daily discovering the law, the building of the tabernacle, the sacrifices made by the children of Israel to build the tabernacle, and  how God made such provisions for all the materials needed that he had to command the children to stop bringing sacrifices. 

I hope you have noticed the specific gifts given by God to individuals, but as a collective body all those gifts resulted in a built tabernacle as the Lord commanded Moses. 

I pray you are not just skimming past these days of reading in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers.  Too often, we don’t hear sermons or have bible study over the law and if we do the real emphasis is given to the 10 commandments or other “well-known” isolated passages. 

When we get to the New Testament, you will see so much of the Scribes and Pharisees puzzling questions to Jesus revolve around the traditions of their time; traditions we are reading about right now, before Jesus came to the world.  We are reading  about the way of life for the children of Israel.  A lifestyle they handed down from generation to generation. 

The Law is important and crucial to the foundation of our religion and faith.  Do not be turned off or discouraged by names you may not be able to pronounce or what feels like constant reading of sin offerings, peace offerings, grain offerings, and so on. 

God is providing us with foundation information to help us better understand the rest of the journey that is before us.  Love You!  Be Encouraged!

Day 4 Gen 48-50 & Ex 1-12 / Holding to a Verse

Each day I grab one verse and hold onto to all day. 

Thinking about what it means and how it is applicable in my life today?
How does this Scripture equip me to serve God today? 
What is God desiring to reveal to me through this Word? 
How can I share it with others who do not know him?
Will I have the opportunity to share this word with someone today? 

I ask myself all these questions all day.  I pray you find one scripture, one verse to grab onto each day.  And I dare you to ask God some questions as to why He placed that verse in your heart and mind.  I promise the answer will make you even more thirsty to ask Him again tomorrow! 

Love you! 

²⁰ But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.  Genesis 50:20

Day 3... Genesis 32-47 / Reading Tips

I have a separate journal devoted only to recording thoughts, prayers, revelations, and recording questions over what I read each day.  This has helped me stay focused and is fun to go back and review how the living word speaks differently to me each time I read the same verse and chapter. 

Also, I am not a morning person (at all!!).  I decide during this time to wake up early so that I can read.  Now I will be honest... I read, then go back to sleep, lol.  But nonetheless I get up and read.  This has worked best for me.  I pray however you find the time, that your time is quiet and still and a moment of just you and God time. 

hello ladies. so far all i have seen is history just beginning yet already repeating itself. you got abraham, isaac and jacob all making the same mistakes that their fathers made. then you have sarah, rebekah,rachel thinking that they know best but causing more trouble and destruction than osama bin laden......im so disappointed that women decided to spend all of their god given talents to manipulate and conceive than to encourage and be honest.....does this sound like women today......i have to admit this go around is way more entertaining and eye opening....im sure tracy and clarissa would agree. love u all and im praying that you are enjoying this journey just as much as me.

Day 2...Woohoo!!!

DOCUMENT what you are learning while reading! You want to be able to reflect on what you've read and share with the rest of us what you are learning! Start a journal, write it on your hand (lol), who cares...just document it so that you have notes!!!

Day 2...
