Happy New Year

 

There is the Word of God, the Bible, and there is circumstance. Which is true? Well, they both are!  (A paradox) And they sometimes disagree. So, you have to choose which one you'll believe! However, the Word of God is truer than anything else! The word of God is a superior truth, and circumstance is an inferior truth! Hopefully you already know that.

But if you don't know what it says in the Bible, then you will never choose it, or choose to believe it. (OK, maybe a few people have told you a few things that the Bible says. Good, but that's just a good start.)

So, this is a great day to start reading the Bible! Where? What I usually say is: "Start in any one of the first four books of the New Testament." And you can start online, since Biblegateway.com and BlueLetterBible.com both have apps you can use for free.

However, maybe you need an overview of the Old Testament.  I don't know, maybe. If so, read a few, maybe several, chapters in each of Genesis and Exodus and First Samuel and Psalms and Daniel and any other book that looks interesting to you. (Yes, there are so many other good ones.) You don't need to rush it! Ask the Lord God to help you understand what you are reading! He will!

Enjoy!
