Study God's Word
February, 2021
We believe God is waiting to meet you this year! "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word."
In Deuteronomy chapter 6, God instructed His people to be intentional about making His Word a regular part of our thoughts and conversation:
4Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. a 5Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
Can you imagine that they carried God's Word around with them in little boxes? It occurred to me that today we can carry His Word around in a little square device, with dozens of translations, devotionals, and reading plans!
Is God's Love Letter to You, the Bible, something you read and ponder often? If not, I would love to recommend the YouVersion Bible app.
This year I have been enjoying a free reading plan inside the YouVersion App. (There are many to choose from). I chose one from Alpha founder Nicky Gumbel. It is very well written, and helps me keep consistent in the Word. It is very convenient to check off passages you read, it has a read aloud feature, and it balances various reading from various sections of the Bible every day. Best of all, its free with the YouVersion App.
