Today's Reading
This picture from Deuteronomy 28 is graphic and sickening. It ultimately came true because God's people ultimately turned against Him. Finally, He sent Jesus to pay for the horrible sins of humankind and gave the gift of His Holy Spirit to change us from the inside out. Wow!
Luke: my observation is that, the more we yield our lives to the direction and power of the Holy Spirit, the more God's light shines through us. Our yielding often comes through the revealing of our weakness and never through relying on our own strength.
Psalms: I know the feelings expressed by the Psalmist. It can seem like life is full of troubles and God is against us. We get figuratively backed up to the Sea with the enemy attacking from our other side. Then...
Your road led through the sea,
your pathway through the mighty waters.
Proverbs: hurting people hurt people. May we let God heal our hurts so that we speak healing.

CLIMBING COMPANIONS 2012
I am grateful that I have read the Bible through every year for over 25 years. Each journey is a new adventure that uncovers new treasures. I hope you will take this journey with me. We are reading the One Year Bible Plan for this year. Each day will include a passage from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs.
I have found the plan to be available on YouVersion.com. One great thing about their program is that you can sign up, download their app for your smartphone and read directly from there. If you prefer, they will email each day's readings. We will once again use the New Living Translation for our reading. I chose it because it is fairly easy to read and understand as well as quite accurate.
During the earthly journey of Jesus, he asked people to join him. Those who payed the price of leaving their old life behind got to know Him far better than those who kept their distance. One example of this is...
When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. (Matthew 5:1-2 The Message)
I am inviting those who attend Stone Ridge Church in Yuma, Arizona, USA, along with our friends and family from around the world to become one of Jesus' "Climbing Companions." You can come back here each day to make your comments, ask questions and received encouragement on your journey.
