Our Bible Study group has chosen Oswald Chamber's My Utmost for His Highest for our one-year study, a collection of 365 devotions. Throughout 2018, as I read the book, I continually referenced it, acknowledging that, besides the Bible, this was the most powerful book I had ever read. Truly.
Today, I finished my one-year read and ready to begin again in just a few short hours. Yay! I am looking forward to discussing the nuggets each of the ladies glean from the book.
Additionally, I feel the tug, the pull to study Paul. I just finished reading Acts and Paul's letters and find myself wanting to get to know him better, to have more of what he had.
For this study, I have chosen two of Beth Moore's books - 1) Paul: 90 Days on His Journey of Faith and 2) To Live Is Christ (this one I just ordered today). Not sure that I will complete the first in 90 days...nor the second in 11 weeks! Just going to dive in and take my time...and get to know Paul.
I have also decided to read the Bible in chronological order again this year. I think I need this again, for I have learned much, yet I still have so much to learn about the chronology of the Bible. This year, though, I want to watch specifically how Jesus is present on every page of the Old Testament.
Four books = my goal (so far) for 2019. I am ready for the journeys of faith they will each take me on.
What journey do you have planned for 2019 to ever draw closer to Jesus Christ? A verse a day? A chapter a day? Book by book? Whatever the journey...just take the journey! This is the way to draw closer to Him.
Blessings!
