Here it is, 2014! If
you are one of the ones who keeps saying "next year I will get involved in
church" or "I'm going to have a better relationship with Jesus next
year", guess what? The time is now.
Well, I am here to help if you will let me. Today, I will share from an email I received
this morning from YouVersion. For those
unfamiliar with YouVersion, it is a Bible App for smart phones. They have all kinds of reading plans. One of the most important things you can do
is start reading your Bible on a daily basis.
I will admit that I have never been very good at staying with it. I will read for a few days, skip a few days
and then back at it. However, I am going
to start daily blogging so that it will help me be consistent with it. I also have started a daily devotional which
is a 30 day devotional for wives wanting to have a closer relationship with
their husband and with God.
OK, back to where I was going… the email challenged us to find our #Verse2014. Here is a portion of that email :

As you consider goals
and resolutions for 2014, here are three simple ways you can make the Bible a
daily part of your life:
- Find your #Verse2014.
Choose one verse that you can focus on throughout 2014. Invite it into
your life, display it, and share it with people you know.
- Commit to a Bible Plan. This has helped so many in our community make God’s
Word a daily part of their life. Sign up for a short, 20- or 30-day
devotional. Build your confidence by completing your first plan. Then come
back for another.
- Share the Word.
Invite family and friends to read with you. Help them get the Bible App,
show them how to sign up for the plan you’re using, then discuss what
you’ve read. Inspire others by sharing what you’re reading in emails,
texts, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. God’s
Word comes alive in community (Heb. 4:12).
I took this challenge and will be sharing on my blog.
This is the scripture I have chosen as my 2014 verse : “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
