☕️ Actual Bible reading among Christians is entirely too rare. In many people’s minds it is a sort of extreme behavior for the exceptionally pious, exceptionally self disciplined, and early risers. But the reality is that God’s Word is for all of us. His Word should be in the middle of our regular lives, however not quiet and not organized that life is! We encourage a scrappy approach that requires nothing more than a Bible and a willingness to read it. Read it like you read anything else! Jump back in when you fall behind, don’t catch up! Just join us day after day as we open God’s Word in the middle of our lives.
☕️ We all know that our world is in desperate need of reformation and revival. You’ve probably asked the Lord for just such a thing! Well let me tell you what we can actually DO that will change the world. We can open up the Word of God, and let it change us. The Word is not a dry owners manual - it is living and active. When we come to the Word humbly, we will meet the Spirit there. When we do that, we are changed!
☕️ One of the wonderful recurring phrases in Psalm 119 is “according to your Word.” What do you need desperately? Encouragement? Joy? Focus? Strength? I’d like to encourage you to pray for what you need with that phrase.
“Lord, encourage me according to your Word.”
“Father, strengthen me for this work according to your Word.”
☕️ This is no time for Christians to be trying to survive on starvation rations! Come be strengthened, encouraged, taught, rebuked, challenged, stretched, grown, and renewed with us - and all according to God’s Word! - Rachel Jankovic
☕️ “Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way. Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me in Your righteousness.”
Psalms 119:37, 40 NKJV
