Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

January 1


Revelation 19-22
The Bible ends where it started.  God is on the throne and there is victory for all who choose to follow Him.  I find it extremely comforting to know that John will be in heaven.  Even after being a Christian for more than seventy years, being an apostle, being so very close to Jesus, in his human frailty, he worships an angel.  The angel is quick to rebuke him, but it reminds me of God’s unfailing love and mercy.  He takes us weak and sinful creatures to be His very own, in spite of our weakness!  Near the end of Revelation, John records: The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let those who hear say, “Come!” Let those who are thirsty come; and let all who wish take the free gift of the water of life.  For all who have traveled this journey with me throughout 2012, I can find no better words to leave you with!
