Daily in the Word

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."  

John 1:1-5

Daily in the Word. What difference would it make to read it every day? Something that seems so simple. Opening a book, that many of us have more than one copy of. Opening and spending time reading those words.

This Book. This special gift is - God with us. In these words.

The One who is the beginning and the end, Alpha and Omega. The giver of light, giver of life.

The one who promises life more abundant.

When we spend so much time in Him, in the one who is the Word, till the point when we skip just one day.....

What difference would it make?

Lord,

Rebecca Herber

I pray to spend time daily in You. In the Word. That the words You say to me become the air I breath. Constant, vital to life. I know I can only do it through You. Lord, I want to know what difference it will make.

Your Word is a Lamp for My Feet, a Light on My Path

Psalm 119:105 – Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

It was a dark and stormy night, and I was lost.   For many years it seemed that I was living in the darkness.  Those were the times that I did not have the Word of God lighting my path.  I stumbled, and failed.

Rebecca Herber

However, I found the Light.  It was my one true God that showed me the light, by reading His word.  When I find myself stumbling and failing again, I realize that I have stepped away from the Light.  So, I have to remind myself to come back to the Light.  If I don’t follow the Light, then I am left in the dark.

This month our prayer is to spend 30 days in the Word.  Hopefully it will translate into something longer than just 30 days.  I want it to be a lifetime of living in the WORD.

Psalm 23:3

He refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths

for his name’s sake.

Psalm 61:2

From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Jeremiah 29:13

 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

2 Corinthians 12:9

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

Philippians 4:6-7

⁶ Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
