December 21st - 26th
Hey everyone.
So, I was without power for a few nights, then it was Christmas Eve, then it was Christmas, now it's boxing day and I leave tomorrow to visit some family. So, I would love to post about each reading, but I won't. I have a lot of my own thoughts on a bunch of them, and they're rather personal, so I think my sharing would just hinder your own applications, anyways. I did read them, though. You're free to, too. The day and its passage are listed below...
21st - James 3:1-12
22nd - 1 Peter 2:1-25
23rd - 1 Peter 3:1-22
24th - 2 Peter 1:2-21
25th - 1 John 1:1-10
26th - 1 John 3:1-24
Sorry I won't be posting anything about them.
The same will go for tomorrow through Sunday (the 30th), because I'll be visiting family (this may change if I can get Wifi where I'll be...).
God bless! Shalom!

Biblein365 - December 19th and 20th
December 19th -- James 1:2-27
Please read it even though it's a bit long!
WOW. I know it's a bit long, but I suggest reading this passage another time... or two. It's a lot to take in. Now, I did a Bible Study with my church on the book of James. However, my notes are divided amongst different weeks for this passage, so I prefer not to use them. Plus, the I am just spitting out info at you.
This passage has a lot of warnings and commandments. It seems like a lot. It's hard to follow. I get that - I'm human too, so I'm always messing up. However, that doesn't mean don't try - that means try all the harder. God doesn't expect perfection from us. He knows we can't achieve perfection, or He would never have sent his son to make up for the sins He knew we would all commit. However, that's all the more reason to try. And that strength is not one we have as humans on our own - we need to ask God for it. We need His wisdom to be able to discern right from wrong and choose right. We can ask Him for it (verse 5). However, just make sure you're not asking from the wrong place and expecting an answer (verses 6-8). God knows your heart, so He knows when you are trying to follow Him, even if you're making some mistakes along the way. Just let Him guide you and be steadfast.
December 20th -- James 2:1-13
It's only short, so give it a read!
I really can't say more than this passage already does - God doesn't choose favorites, so we shouldn't either.
God bless! Shalom!

December 17th and 18th
December 17th -- Hebrews 11
It's long, but please read it!
Love verse 1. Just remember that when things get tough. Then cling to it. It'll be worth it in the end. And look at all the brilliant examples listed in this passage if you need encouragement to keep having faith!
December 18th -- Hebrews 12:1-13
Just short, so give it a read!
Just a bit of encouragement. :)
God bless! Shalom!
PS Yes, this was super short. Yes, I just have had a few late nights for school stuff and a bit more work to finish tonight so I kept it short.

December 16th
December 16th -- Hebrews 10:19-39
Please go read the passage, even though it's a tad long!
I would love to expand on this for you all.... but it hit me on a personal level (not that I feel my faith is weak or at risk, but today has been a huge struggle to find peace and comfort in events that are hurting me a lot...) so I really can't try and come up with something for you all because I need to just let it sink in, sorry...
God bless! Shalom!

December 13th and 14th
December 13th -- 2 Timothy 1
Please read - it's not a long chapter at all!
Verse 7. So is fear a sin? I don't think I want to answer that, but I will say that the Bible says it is not of God, but the devil. So fear really is doubt in the plan that God has for our eternal well-being, in a way. Fear implies we do not trust fully. So I'll let you ponder if that's sin or not. However, my point is, that fear is never from God. Don't let it take hold of you. Pray against it. Pray for peace. All it will do is hinder you - I'd know.
December 14th - 2 Timothy 3
Give it a read!
I guess I just wanna' say that the Bible really is important. Re-read verses 10-17 for the reasoning again, but basically it's our weapon. It's our way of fighting off the lies of the devil. Not knowing your Bible, God's book to us, is like walking into warfare without a weapon. Even if you defend yourself for a while, you'll be overrun before the battle's won. So get to know that book. I was never a Bible reader myself 'til I started. Now I'm in there daily and I'm often seeking passages aside from just this study. I use verses to make me feel better when I'm upset, find God's peace when I can't seem to, seek reassurance in my future in God's promises, or find direction in how I can be living for His Kingdom. P.S. The Bible works best when coupled with prayer. If one were the blade the other would be the hilt, together making your sword so you can fight.
God bless! Shalom!
