Today's Reading
Exodus. Deliverance! What do you think was going on in the hearts of the Hebrews as they left Egypt? Notice that God immediately gives them some rules to live by. He wants them to yield themselves totally to Him. Isn't it the same with us?
Matthew today contrasts Jesus' compassion for the hurting with His anger at the religious people whose hearts were far from God. If Jesus were here right now, would He look on you with compassion or anger? That question scares me because of how much I need His mercy and grace.
Right after I wrote the last sentence, I read Psalms for today. Wow! It totally reflects the cry of my heart.
Proverbs. Dishonest transactions put us in the light of God's judgment.

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.
