The bible is a book of life. Jesus lived in it, declared it, and was submitted to it. He knew the word written must be fulfilled. He was fearless in the face of a storm, a crowd who sought His life, and lack of resource to feed five thousand. God’s word must be...
When I moved my residency from earth to heaven and from my circumstances into Christ, Ephesians One became a road map into my new home and identity. The promises of God that had launched my pilgrimage, leaving me a stranger on the earth, now became vibrantly alive...
This week, we are in the Epistles. It will be a coupling of grace through faith. The word of God read and listened to, mixed with faith (our accepting what we are reading as truth) moves us into obedience (attentively hearing under) as we enter into His rest. Rest is...
I love my alone time with the Lord. Coming to the Father through Christ, to return my soul to rest, is the best. The sooner in the day I can get there the better the rest of the day is for me. The rest of the day is in His REST. I think that is why Jesus would get up...

We now begin doubling up on some portions of the Bible, while not reading other portions. For instance, today we read Genesis 36 and 37, and leave out Job and Isaiah. We do this to help balance out the bible sections that we are reading, as the Torah and History books...
I will attempt to tell the story of Job in 442 words; I have already used up eighteen. Job was blameless and upright, he feared God and shunned evil. Satan appears before God, and God points out his servant Job. Satan says Job’s position is because God has put a hedge...
Jesus submitted to the word of God. The word of God made flesh submitted to the word of God that was written. Upon Jesus’ baptism, the Holy Spirit led Him into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. When tempted, Jesus responded, “It is written.” When we read our...
Jesus did everything for the Father, inside the Father’s love. Jesus’ abode was in the Father’s love, keeping His commandments. Jesus has asked us to do the same, to abide in His love and keep His commandments. His commandment is to love one another as He has loved...
