Day 77-83

READ: Hebrews, James 1-2

CONSIDER:

James 1:22-24 "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like."

Reading the Bible will not bring you closer to God or make you more righteous. Doing what it says on the other hand is a different story. Don't be readers or listeners but doers!

Day 72-76

READ: 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon

Day 71

READ: 1 Timothy 1-3

CONSIDER: Sometimes in our Christian circles we talk about what should be changed, or what is wrong with other people and start controversies. Paul tells Timothy near the beginning of chapter 1 to stop talking about meaningless things but rather show love and faith. Because in the end, that is what really matters and that is what really changes lives.

ACT: How are your conversations today? Does it consist of gossip and controversy? Do you find yourself judging people more than anything else? Instead, what if you spent your time talking about loving others despite everything and took steps to show them? What would make the most impact? Talking about their faults or loving them regardless?

Day 70

READ: 2 Thessalonians 1-3

Tell us how God has been teaching you through Thessalonians. We'd love to hear from you.

Days 68-69

READ: 1 Thessalonians 1-5

Days 66-67

READ: Colossians 1-4

Days 64-65

READ: Philippians 1-4

CONSIDER: Do you have the mind of Christ? What does that mean and how do we get it?

Day 63

READ: Ephesians 5-6

CONSIDER: " Be very careful, then, how you live -- not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." - Ephesians 5:15-16

ACT: Have you been making the most of every opportunity, every day? If not, read about the armor of God in chapter 6 and come up with a game plan to give yourself a chance to give God everything, everyday.

"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."

Ephesians 6:13

Day 62

READ: Ephesians 3-4

CONSIDER: Ephesians 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurable more than all we ask or imagine, accoring to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

ACT: Write this verse down and make it a goal to memorize it this week.

Day 59-61

READ: Galatians 1-6, Ephesians 1-2

Day 58

READ: 2 Corinthians 12-13

Day 57

READ: 2 Corinthians 10-11

Day 56

READ: 1 Corinthians 7-9

CONSIDER: Are you a cheerful giver? Do you give to God and others because you have to or because you want to? There is a big difference.

ACT: Give away something to someone in need today. Maybe its a few dollars for a drink, or maybe it's your time. Whatever it is, do it cheerfully knowing that God is being glorified when you do.

Day 55

READ: 2 Corinthians 4-6

CONSIDER: What an awesome couple of chapters! Paul is basically telling his readers to have a heavenly perspective. There is a hope in Christ Jesus that is beyond all understanding and though we might face trials and tribulations here on earth, in heaven we are citizens of God's kingdom! What a day that will be!

Day 53 and 54

READ: 1 Corinthians 14- 16, 2 Corinthians 1-3
