1 Year Bible

New Year;s Challenge! (From 2017) Many of you know that I often make comments on Verses from the Bible. Most of these are derived from my daily Bible Reading. For over 40 years I have read through the entire Bible each year, and though many would think that boring or unnecessary, I have always enjoyed […]

“O how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.” Psalm 119:97 Though I read this back in June, it reflects my purpose of why I read the Bible! Why I do so daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. I want to Read the Word because I want to Obey the Lord, and I

“The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.” Proverbs 10:1 As the Proverbs officially begin in Chapter 10, Solomon’s first reference is to “A Wise Son”. This should not be a surprise, as the term “My Son” occurs some 20 times in

“He who gives attention to the word will find good, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.” Proverbs 16:20 After I’ve finished my yearly journey through the Bible, I will often go back to Proverbs; by far one of my most favorite Books. For today, couple with that an encouragement to you, the

“I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12 This is one of my favorite verses “about” the Bible. I actually posted this back in May. Job, in the midst of his pain and affliction, and the torture of

“Only fear the Lord and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.” 1 Samuel 12:24 Yesterday was my last posting on my yearly journey thru the Bible. This year, I was able to write every day, which I thank God for. As I’ve said

“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.” Revelation 22:17 It’s fitting that one of the last verses in the Bible is a Gospel Invitation. This Call is

“It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” Revelation 19:8 This morning the latter half of this Verse stood out (I’m including the whole verse to provide context). Here, the Bride of the Lamb, the Church, is being

“Behold, I am coming like a thief.” Revelation 16:15a Here, right in the middle of John’s description of God’s Wrath, he inserts these words from Jesus. Perhaps he heard them during this Revelation, or remembered them from Christ’s time on earth, but he chose to insert them here. I find this “Profound” to say the

“If anyone has an ear, let him hear.” Revelation 13:9 In today’s reading, this Verse suddenly jumps out. We aren’t told who says it; it’s just part of John’s narrative. Consider some thoughts: This is what Jesus said repeatedly in the Gospels. In simplest form it means, “Christian, Pay Attention, This Is Important”! Regardless of
