21 Day look at Jesus

I had thought that a scripture reading verse by verse might not be as helpful as a book or topic. But after much prayer this week......I am reminded that "Thy word is a lamp into my feet and a light into my path" Psalm 119:105. I also keep being reminded that "when I am weak, then I am strong" II Cor. 12:10. We all are struggling with something because we are human. Our hope is in the almighty Lord. He is our Master, Creator, and Friend!

Twelve years ago, the Holy Spirit urged me to "Feed on His word" because "Food is your god". What a hold food has always been in my life and continues to be. This year, God will take that place---He will because I am going to surrender to Him day by day by day. I am going to open my life so others can see the human-ness we often cover up so others think we have it all together. I am a mess without my Lord! I am not a Bible scholar in any account. Many stories/accounts actually scare me. So for the ones who are walking Bibles, be patient and help us along. The use of this study is to really allow the word to soak inside and to become that guiding light in our lives instead of us thinking we have to control and make things happen. I don't know how to set up a blog for this yet. Who can help? Where do you all wish to start? Would taking a 21 day look at Jesus be helpful to you? I was given a plan for Luke and John even though Jesus's life is told in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This would give us a little start to get a study off the ground and let God lead the way from there. Today I commit to read Luke 1-2. However, I am not reading
in order to say I read it. I will ponder the verses and look for meaning and truth.

If you already have a Bible study or this doesn't fit into what God has planned for you now, no obligation at all. I need this and there is strength in numbers----God will send the ones who need this also and the group will be His. Love you all----Blessings, Lorie See below:
