January 1, 2017 - Day 1
Happy New Year!
One of the great blessings God grants us year in and year out is the opportunity to spend time in His Word, the Bible. Clicking on http://www.wholesomewords.org/family/bibleread/truth.pdf
will give you a chart for reading the entire Bible in one year. This year's chart will suggest one reading from the Old Testament and one reading from the New Testament each day.
Day 1 - Genesis 1-2 & Matthew 1
How best to begin 2017 - "In the beginning God..." (Genesis 1:1a ESV)
♬ With the Lord begin your task; Jesus will direct it.
For His aid and counsel ask; Jesus will perfect it.
Ev’ry morn with Jesus rise, And when day is ended,
In His name then close your eyes; Be to Him commended.
(Lutheran Service Book, Concordia Publishing House, 2006, #869)
Heavenly Father, bless my time in Your Word this year. Thank You for giving mankind this precious book that focuses on Jesus and His cross. Bless my efforts to lift high the cross and proclaim the love of Christ this entire year. Amen.
May the Lord bless each day of this new year as you spend time in His precious Word!
“See” you at the Communion table this morning!
