Bible in 2 years – Proverbs 1; John 1

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…. The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world…. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”

John 1:1, 9, 11-13

This year I have chosen to focus my mind on the word “Faithful.” I want to be a faithful servant of my Heavenly Father as well as a a faithful wife and helper to my earthly husband. I want to model myself after my perfect, faithful God who has made me His child and will never cast me out. On this first day of a new year, I want to remember that Jesus is and was and always will be. He was there from the beginning, and His mercies are new every morning.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Jesus is the living, eternal word, the bread of life – plentiful, abundant, good life. In Your design, light shines on the good and the evil. Jesus gives light to the world, to everyone, yet only those who receive and believe in Him, only those whom You have chosen by Your perfect will, become Your children.

Father, make me like Andrew and Philip who were eager to tell others about Jesus. Give me faith like Nathaniel who was quick to believe, “You are the son of God! You are the king of Israel.” Make me like those wedding servants who did whatever Jesus told them to do. Thank you for your life-giving word and for filling my life with Your mercies that are new every morning.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior I pray. Amen.
