This new year has been off to an amazing start of getting to know God through His Word in a deeper way. My husband and I have been doing our 2015 BREAD chart Bible reading and have already gained so much in new discoveries—even from familiar passages of scripture. Reading both on our own and together has been an incredible journey of discovery, revelation, and confirmation that we want to share with you, here.
Each day we’ll post our reflections on the passages we read that day. We believe it’s important to be students of God’s Word and spend time studying it– reading it carefully, reflecting on it, and being intentional about finding ways to apply key lessons in our daily lives. We encourage you to get in the Word for yourself and see how God speaks to you through the scriptures you read each day.
33 “Teach me your decrees, O Lord;
I will keep them to the end.
34 Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions;
I will put them into practice with all my heart.
35 Make me walk along the path of your commands,
for that is where my happiness is found.
36 Give me an eagerness for your laws
rather than a love for money!
37 Turn my eyes from worthless things,
and give me life through your word.
38 Reassure me of your promise,
made to those who fear you.
39 Help me abandon my shameful ways;
for your regulations are good.
40 I long to obey your commandments!
Renew my life with your goodness.”Psalm 119:33-40, NLT
