Happy New Year!
“Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.”
-Herman Hesse
There may be some things you will have to let go of to move forward in your relationship with God.
God has a plan for you, but you need to follow His plan. How do we know what His plan is for us?
The only way to know Gods plan is to read His instruction manual, His Holy Word.
Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalms 119:105
God’s Word illuminates our path to guide us in life. Imagine before the days of electricity when light was by oil lamps and torches. If you were to walk at night you had to follow a well-worn path and your visibility was given to you as the lamp light in the night cut through the darkness by the glow of the flame.
God is the glow of the flame that allows us to see His path and the direction we need to take.
The only way to move forward is by letting the flame glow in the darkness, to discipline ourselves and saturate ourselves with the light of Gods Holy Word.
You will move forward this year as the bond in your relationship grows stronger with God through reading the Bible.
Reading Plans:
1. Count the number of pages in your bible and divide by 365. Ex. 1500 divided by 365 = 4.1 This means you will read a little over 4 pages a day to read the whole bible in a year.
2. Another option, if you read 3.5 to 4 chapters a day you can read the bible in one year.
