Happy New Year!

WOW! 2009-Where did 2008 go? I think the older I get the faster it goes:) As I was thinking about this new year I was asking myself the question:"Will I be faithful in my Bible reading this year?" I must confess that today is January 3 and already I have not been that faithful!
How will each of us read the Bible this year? Will we read it just to say we did or will we read it with the aim of doing what it says? I thought, I don't just want to read it but I want to live it!

The Daily Bread has a poem that I like. It says:

The Bible gives us all we need
To live our lives for God each day.
But it won't help if we don't read
Then follow what its pages say.

Matthew 7:24 says :

"Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which builds his house upon a rock."

We know that rock is Jesus Christ!

I like what our Pastor told us: "God may change His will for you, but the Word of God never changes."

Build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ. He never fails!!

That sounds good. The next time you read it you will get more from it. There is still some things I am just beginning to learn and I have been a Christian for 50 years! Isn't Jesus Awesome!
