One a day…
Two weeks back we put out the “One a day” challenge. The idea is simple. If you are living off of Sunday teaching alone for your spiritual and Scriptural intake then you are spiritually starving. It would be the equivalent of eating one meal a week and starving yourself for six days.
God’s word, the meditation on it, the living in it, the reflecting upon it and the Spirit moving through it that provides the eternally significant truth that we all need to hear. Yet, too many of our devotional lives are a mere afterthought, a fading prayer at bedtime.
So, here again is the challenge. Simple pick up a book of the Bible and read, reflect and pray over One chapter a day. God’s Spirit will move, his word will teach and you will find there the truth. Not always easy truth, but THE truth. Don’t know where to start. I’d suggest the book of Luke.
Remember, this is the book of good news: A messed up people (us) saved by the sacrifice of a gracious God (via God-made-flesh Jesus) not because we’ve earned it, but because, “He so loved the world (us)”. May we all know the grace, peace and gift that God has freely given.
