It’s hard to believe that the last month of the year starts today. Remember the phrase “time flys”, well it seems to go faster as you get older. There is still much work to do for our Lord. Recently in a bible study I was leading, I read again the passage in John 9: 35 where Jesus asks “do you believe in the Son of Man?” Of course everyone in the room raised their hand but when I followed up with this statement “not a superficial belief like “most Christians” but a belief that causes you to trust Him with every circumstance in your life…every word that He speaks to you, you do, without question. That kind of belief”…only a few hands started to go up before I said answer that deep in your heart. Each of us has to answer that question…myself and you. I trust you answer it correctly.
Well my alarm clock is back on track and trying to wake me each morning. Some mornings I try to ignore her and sleep more but she is persistent, thus causing me to get up and begin my day. I have noticed that sometimes she likes to sleep in as well…I guess old age creeps up on each of us…she is over 40 in dog years and starting to slow down…like me.
We are in our last month of reading through the bible. Hope you have enjoyed your reading. Here is a link to some Christmas readings that you can use each week. We call it Advent as we look forward to the coming birth of our savior. http://www.cfellowshipc.org/preparation Enjoy the readings and the songs as we move toward the day we have chosen to celebrate His birth. The Jewish season of Hanukkah began today, December 1st. This starts the 8 day festival of Lights where the Jewish people celebrate the re-dedication of the temple. Only enough oil for one day was found but it burned for 8 days thus giving the priest enough time to make more oil.
Books Currently Reading: The Fire Within, by Thomas Dubay
Current Bible Readings / Studies: Just finished Guilty by James and Patty Hutchens
Devotions: Still currently reading through the bible with a program that chronologically lays out the scriptures in the sequence they occurred or more likely to have occurred also following the Advent readings leading up to Christmas.
