January 15

Today's Reading

Genesis. Jacob says goodbye to Laban. What lessons and/or questions does their farewell bring to mind? Based on Laban's history, do you think he would have let Jacob go if Jacob had simply asked?

Later, Jacob prepares to meet his future. That means he must face his past and his brother Esau. Have you ever experienced a moment like that?

Jesus describes the steep cost of discipleship in Matthew today. How do His words challenge you?

Psalms describes times when we are hurting, concluding with the choice to trust in God's unfailing love. How are you doing?

Proverbs. What does it mean to embrace wisdom?

Yesterday, we passed the two week mark this year. That means we are already about 4% of the way through the Bible. How's it going? Remember, if you lose a day or two, just pick back up with the group. This is a life-long process.

  1. When I hold tightly to wisdom and let myself be guided by it, I will be satisfied and happy (not always "happy" but have the deep-seated contentment that comes from KNOWING God and following His wisdom). I will also have a long life filled with riches and honor. By "long life" I mean an eternal life filled with not necessarily material riches and honor that are tangible, but riches that are intangible like peace, joy, wisdom, etc. and the honor of being a daughter of the King.

  2. Your comment is full of Wisdom, Ranelle! You are a wife, a mom and a cancer survivor. Most of all, you are a new creation in Christ Jesus. HE has taught you what you wrote. You express it beautifully. Thanks!
