Hey there! Friday is here and it’s time to summarize what we’ve learned this week through the Bible reading challenge. Let’s take a look at the In His Presence Bible reading summary week 2.

Hebrews 7:17-22

Think about the power of God living through us for a moment. Our choice to draw near to him empowers us to be used by him! He always saves and he always intercedes for us and he will never stop doing that! Jesus opened the door of the tomb, he opened the door to salvation and all he asks is that you open the door to your heart... And then? Leave it open for him to work freely. Jesus, the Better Hope, the one who is perfect and yet free from law, asks us to draw near. Oh the incredible honor of living in.his.presence.#inhispresence Hebrews 7:17-22#biblereading

Psalm 91:1-8

The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, "my refuge and my fortress, my God, In whom I trust." #inhispresence#biblereading

The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “my refuge and my fortress, my God, In whom I trust.” 

Psalm 91:9-16

The God of the Bible is so personal. The psalmist declares "my" refuge and "my" fortress. "My" God. No one else can have your relationship with God for you. It must be yours. Mine must be mine. He longs to be our everything yet it is our choice. Relationships of force are not relationships of fortress. How I need the protection and love of the Most High God! #inhispresence #biblereadingThis #biblejournaling is from yesterday's reading. Today continues with Psalm 91:9-16. #noteworthytruth

Hebrews 10:16-22

Jesus, may our hearts be pure towards you. May it be reflected in all we do today. 

Psalm 65:1-5

in his presence 2 5

The first 5 verses of Psalm 65 are ones of praise, repentance, and declaration. Sin separates us from God’s holiness, yet we have access to him through the blood of Jesus. How happy is the one who enters in God’s house and then walks closely with him, instead of at a distance! 

in his presence 2 6Work in progress. Both the journaling and my heart. 

Colossians 3:12-17

in his presence 2 7It’s a chilly 1 degree and I’m hoping for a day of indoor warmth and coziness. God’s word warms our hearts and souls even better than a fur blanket warms our bodies. Let his word saturate your heart, soul and mind today. It’s part of being #inhispresence . #biblereading passage is Colossiams 3:12-17

John 12:25-33

in his presence 2 8There is an old hymn with these words: “Follow, follow, I would follow Jesus. Anywhere. Everywhere. I will follow on.” And this morning as I pondered following Jesus, I reminded myself that it isn’t popular. Even among Christians, doing what Jesus has put on my heart is not always appreciated or accepted. But he didn’t promise we would win a popularity contest or even have a team of people alongside us (though that happens!) Jesus promised HE would be with us. Without him, we are nothing. I’m so very thankful to be in his presence.

in his presence 2 9When we follow Jesus, he is with us every step of the way. 

My prayer is that you are continuing to enjoy the passage for this In His Presence Bible Reading Challenge and you’ll continue reading with us through the end of the month! We’re halfway through the plan. I’d love to hear from you today; what did you learn this week?

By his grace,

Rachel

  2. Work heartily for the Lord and not for men. Colossians 3:23-24…. I had actually continued reading on one day from your assigned scripture and found this one. I needed to read this again because on January 4th I started a new position at my job in a new department. I feel like it’s my first day at the job site and I’m starting from scratch. It’s definitely a challenge. I’m having to rely on God’s strength for everything. It’s easy to get into slack off mode because I have to take initiative to ask others to train me. But I have to keep this scripture in the front of my mind aND heart and think of Jesus as my boss!! Also, I have this new found lovely (not, lol!) Responsibility of going to tons of meetings. And most are not very entertaining. I am terrible about knodding off sitting up right there in front of everyone. I have to continually pinch myself to keep from doing that. I know that if Jesus was conducting the meeting I would be wide awake all ears!! So I have to pray pray pray for God’s strength in this area and for the motivation to be attentive. I so desperately want to excel at my job! Please Jesus help me so I can work heartily for you and not for men.

    1. Oh goodness. That verse is so rich. Simple to memorize yet easy to forget! Thank you for sharing!

    When I read Colossians I thought this could be called “Checklist For Daily Living”. Clothe yourself with humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other. Forgive. Love. Have Christ’s peace, be thankful, let the Word dwell in you and finally do everything in the name of the Lord. These words just soaked into my spirit. Thank you for taking us on this journey. Cheri

  4. Thankyou for another week’s awesome bible study, Rachel! My big thing this week is that I learnt I could do colour coded highlighting in my bible that i use on itunes! I have been highlighting things just in yellow, but I found out that I actually have a range of colours to choose from! How exciting!
    On my ‘wish list’ at the moment is a 4 way translation bible so I can really dig deep into the meaning of different verses.

    This week i have been led to study the book of Ruth, which has been very interesting, and I really enjoyed your article on Ruth in the Women of the Bible series.

    Thankyou for all the time and effort you put into making these bible studies available for us, Rachel.

    1. love my parallel Bible for studying! I also use BlueLetterBible.org for translation study because it is so easy to flip back and forth between versions. 😉 My privilege, Eliza!!

  5. Good Morning Rachel and everyone,
    I just wanted to say “THANK YOU” for the wonderful work you do and all the inspiring words and testimony you share everyday. This morning I read the “Prayer for the desert” and it felt as if you were talking to me directly. 🙂 thank you. God Bless You, your family and all the amazing work you do in Jesus name. 🙂
    Janet

    1. Bless you, Janet! God is good. He coordinates circumstances beyond what we could ever plan!! Have a wonderful weekend!
