Deuteronomy 4:3-4

Did you know the Bible says we must glue ourselves to God? Love joins us to God. Love attaches itself and does not let go. The best of both divine and human love is “hesed” steadfast or enduring love. If we stay attached to God, we will live. If we come unglued, it will not be good. Here are ten ways we stay connected with God. Let’s do it!

The Bible is a compilation of 66 books. Each book has an overarching theme. Multiple stories and texts in each book point to an attribute of God. When these themes are recognized, they help us understand the message of that book better. It also allows us to see how One Single Story is woven from beginning to end. Ultimately, each theme will enable us to understand Jesus and why He came.

This is the fifth part of a reading plan through the Bible, following the lectionary pattern of reading in the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament each day. In addition, each day this month will feature a memorization challenge for the Apostles' Creed, and there will be brief devotionals from different people in our Church scattered throughout the plan.
