Welcome to the March 2018 Bible Reading Plan Summary Week 2! I pray that you are enjoying the seasonal grace of God in your everyday moments! I know I say this every month, but time is flying by. I can hardly believe that we have already read halfway through this month’s plan! In a month when winter seems to be dragging along for me, this Bible reading plan has been exactly what I’ve needed to focus on God’s beauty in his season. Based on the responses in our Bible reading challenge Facebook group, our community has encountered the same. Let’s review what we’ve been reading in the last week, ready?
James 1:11-17
True beauty comes through the truth that our God works in every season of our lives and THIS never changes. No matter how ugly circumstances get, no matter how dark the situation is, your God can and will take every ash and transform it into beauty! Have a super Saturday remembering this! #everythingbeautifuljournal#biblereadingplan
Matthew 26:6-13
Mary poured out the oil to anoint the One who poured out his life for us. It’s such a beautiful thing. How can we in turn empty ourselves and pour out his love? #everythingbeautifuljournal#biblereadingplan
Romans 10:11-16
I always take notice when the New Testament writers quote and Old Testament verse and that’s what we have in our #everythingbeautifuljournal #biblereadingplan today. This Monday isn’t so much about where you go but whether or not you take the good news with you! Have a great day!
Acts 3:1-10
What a transformation in the life of this man from today’s #everythingbeautifuljournal and #biblereadingplan . Healing is a beautiful thing; let’s keep our eyes opened to seeing it on this terrific Tuesday!
Isaiah 61:1-11
Isaiah boldly proclaims the task God has called him to in our #everythingbeautifuljournal #biblereadingplan passage today. He knew he was created to instill beauty with his words and fulfilled that task well. What beautiful words could I use to speak life into others today? What beautiful truths could I hear loud and clear, creating a domino effect in my circle of influence? Have a wonderful Wednesday! (Day 14 already!)
1 Peter 1:20-25
“And this word is the good news that was preached to you.” Peter pens these Old Testament words in his New Testament letter. A reminder for us today that God has not changed his mind about how crazy he is in love with us. Your faith and hope are in God, the steadfast Creator of the universe who resurrected Jesus. He loves you that much! #everythingbeautifuljournal #biblereadingplan
Psalm 135:1-7
No matter how difficult the circumstances, how hard the pain, or how long it seems you’ve been waiting on God, His seasonal elegance is best seen when we remember Who He is— the God of the universe and our best friend. Your relief from the drought is coming; He will send rain at the perfect moment. Your moments of revelation are controlled by the One who springs lightning bolts across the sky; ask Him for awareness. Your craving for the winds of change will be answered in His perfect timing because He is unlimited in his power! “For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.” And He loves you too much to do anything less than give you the opportunity to savor the beauty of the moments right where you are. Have a fabulous Friday reveling in this glorious truth! #everythingbeautifuljournal #biblereadingplan
