Welcome to a New Bible Study!

I can always tell when it's time to re-organize my life and to weed out the activities that have made me so busy. How do I know? Well, it is when the air grows colder, the leaves turn color, and the sunlight fades sooner in the day. This season is also a great time to begin a new Women's Bible Study!

This year, there is no book to purchase and there is no homework to complete. Instead, let's do something a little different. Let's find a daily Bible reading shedule that fits each of our needs, and then let's read our Bibles every day.

These websites offer a variety of options: http://www.wholesomewords.org/family/bibleread/biblerea.html,
http://www.thebible.net/read/sched.html, http://www.studythebible.com/daily.htm.

A daily dose of the Word of God will be the nourishment that each of us needs. If you and I take the time to ingest a portion of the Scriptures on a regular basis, God promises not only to cleanse us, and keep us from sin, but also to equip us for the work He wants us to do.

Ephesians 5:26, "that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word..."

Psalm 119:11, "Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You."

2 Timothy 4:16, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

I invite you to join me as we delve into the pages of the Bible, God's Holy Word. If you are already reading daily, maybe the Psalms and Proverbs of the day, please continue to do so. If you would like to begin a schedule today, choose one that you like, and then jump right in!

Lord Jesus, as we re-organize and reprioritize our schedules, guide us as we go. Help us to read in our Bibles everyday, even if it's five minutes at a time. We accept Your grace as we purpose to give Your Word a prominent position in our lives. Lord, give us a new desire to know Your Word. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Love, Karen
