For my personal time with God this week:
[#1] Read Psalm 119 this week. Take the time as you read it to consider what God is saying to you about being in the Word, and how it can and will change your life. Be honest with God about the challenges you might face in taking the 40-day challenge with us next month, and ask for His help.
[#2] If you have some extra time, take a moment to carefully read John 1:1-18, as it explains how Jesus literally was and is the word of God made human, to come to earth and help us to know and be in close relationship with God. How many truths about Jesus can you find here? Which ones are easier, or harder, to grasp and understand? Why?
