Today's bible reading is Genesis 1:1-2:25, Matthew 1:1-2:12, Psalm 1:1-6, & Proverbs 1:1-6

Today I want to share a message of encouragement to you that comes from one of the verses in today's reading plan.  "In the beginning..."
Today is the first day of a new year. Millions of people late last night made resolutions that they plan to keep for this up coming year. They will resolve to do new things, & old things differently, to make this coming year BETTER than last year.
The best thing that any person can do is read the Bible daily. That is what this blog spot is all about. Last year people where challenged to read the New Testament in a year. This year we are going to take it up a notch & read the whole bible in a year. Somebody may wonder, "why".

Psalm 1:1-6

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

The key to greater blessing is walking in greater obedience to God's Word. The entrance of it brings light. It has been sent to heal us. It causes us to bear His fruit. It leads to us prospering in all that we do. If want to be blessed you have to know the path that leads to blessing. That path is laid out in God's Word.
I speak over you now, in Jesus name, that as you commit to delight in God's way of doing things, that you are going to experience blessing greater than you have ever experienced before. The way to learn God's way of doing things is through reading & meditating on His Word.
