Today's verse: "And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding." Daniel 2:21
Happy New Year 2011! The Lord has blessed us once again with a new year. Many of us will write resolutions (or at least a to do list) for this new year. We have many things that we would like to accomplish.
In planning this brand new year, consider including daily Bible study and prayer to your list. Here are some of the things that I would like to accomplish this year in order to become a better Christian, more loving wife and a dedicated soul winner as well as TIPS for making this happen:
1. Read through the Bible this year with readings from the Old Testament and the New Testament daily. Besides reading my own Bible and completing my reading assignments for my Bible college courses, I have also signed up for daily emails with selected readings. I find this to be very helpful to ensure that I complete each daily reading. Visit this site to sign up for your own scheduled Bible readings: http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/readingplans/
2. Pray daily: at least once with my entire prayer list handy and at least once with my own special requests that are on my mind. I plan to pray at night for my entire list of those needing prayer, as it is quite lengthy. In the morning, I can focus on the needs of the day and during the day, I can pray for whatever is affecting me or is on my mind at the time. This will help me to ensure that all of my needs are expressed to the Lord and that I am open to His guidance throughout each day.
3. Send cards weekly to those on my prayer list who are shut-ins, are grieving or have medical issues. Send cards periodically to those who need encouragement and to my Sunday School students to keep them motivated.
4. Write a women's Bible study book by year's end.
