Gleanings from Reading through the Bible

I’m reading through God’s Word this year using the Discipleship Journal plan.  Let me encourage you to begin doing so—it’s not too late—by using one of many good plans.

Here are highlights from my reading thus far:

From Genesis: What is the Bible about?  Or Whom?  The very first chapter contains the name of God 32 times in the span of 31 verses.

From the Psalms: There is evil all around.  What is God’s response?  “God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day.  If a man does not repent, God will whet His sword; He has bent and readied His bow; He has prepared for Him His deadly weapons, making His arrows fiery shafts.” (Psalm 7:12-13)

From Matthew: A reminder constantly needed from Jesus—“You cannot serve God and money.” (Matthew 6:24)

From Acts: How to respond to opposition as a Christian—call on the sovereign God!  “They lifted their voices together to God and said, ‘Sovereign Lord…” (Acts 4:24)
