Your Center. John 10.10

Your Center.  John 10.10

I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.  –Jesus Christ

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

            and a light unto my path.            -the Psalmist

It is a guidebook for my behavior

  A compass that points to my purpose

    And a treasure trove of daily wisdom . . .

God’s Word has transformative power,

  as it tells me

    Why I am here,

      How to live,

        and how the story will end.

It describes the character of my loving God,

   the faces and interaction of the Trinity,

      and the fulfillment of a life well lived.

The Scriptures tell the love story

  of a Savior come to earth

    to teach, to heal, and to die-

      showing me the way to live . . .

            a better way, to be sure.

The challenge in 2012 is to find a way to get into God’s Word every day.  Really, life is full, and days are so busy!  Enter Morning Briefings—in the fifth year now, the five-day-a-week e-mail format is spreading globally every week.  In the last few days, five new subscribers: one from Botswana, another from Nigeria, a woman from Texas, and two from California.  Folks can read or listen to a podcast.

Right now we are in the middle of John’s gospel, ready to start chapter 11 actually.  But if you are just joining Morning Briefings, you can access John 1 – 10, (and many other studies on books of the Bible and other hot topics), on the PastorWoman website: http://pastorwoman.com/FTB.aspx?Category=John; for John, they are archived from the most recent back to the first John study on April 24. 

Friend, if you are a God follower, then you want to center yourself on him … daily.  There is no better way to center yourself on your loving Heavenly Father than to partake of his word—EVERY DAY—and spend time talking with him as well.  Prayer and Bible study are as fundamental to your spiritual growth as food and water are to your physical well-being. 

If you want to get the most of these studies, print them out, place them in a binder, so you can read them and refer back to them.  Look up the Scripture, read it—feast on God’s Word!  It is alive and powerful.  There is no equivalent to it in all of earth.

Jesus said, I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly … you and I cannot know or experience the abundant life without knowing Jesus, our Center, and the precious Word that he gave us.

Get centered every day---on the Word of God.
