“The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim). (Romans 10:8, ESV)
Merry Christmas! Tonight we celebrate the birth of Jesus. He is the Word become flesh (John 1:14). And now that Word is near us. God is present with us because Jesus is born in Bethlehem. My prayer for you is that God would be present in your Christmas celebration and in the New Year to come.
As we celebrate the gift of God’s presence, I want to share with you a Bible reading plan for 2018. It is called The Commute. It is five 15 minute readings for each week. And by participating in The Commute Bible Reading Plan, you will read the entire Bible by the end of the year.
It is through the Word of Scripture that God’s presence fills our lives. I invite you to join me in reading through the Bible in 2018 that God might be present in the words you speak and in the spirit of your heart.
