Congratulations! Merry Christmas! What a great week of readings to end the year! This week, we conclude the reading of the ENTIRE BIBLE!!! Well done, good and faithful ones! The more I’m in the Bible, the more ingredients God has to work with in how He speaks to my heart.
Can you yield to God in this uncomfortable moment that you didn’t choose? This week’s theme is: “Humble yourself before God and He will exalt you.” From the end of Acts and Paul’s shipwreck en route to testifying in Rome, to the end of the world in Revelation, through the completion of the wall around Jerusalem and the restoration of worship in Nehemiah, to Esther being raised up to save her entire people group, and Malachi’s last words to Israel before the 400 years of silence—every book this week is a story of letting God be glorified in less than optimal circumstances. Each story draws us back to repentance and purity of faith and worship to the Lord Jesus Christ!
Malachi challenges Israel with questions, prompting them to consider the state of their hearts towards God. He’s going to purify the priesthood. This book is a call to return to worship and tithing in faith and truth.
Esther chooses to step into becoming an intercessor for her whole nation, when she just thought she was going to be queen.
Nehemiah gave all to see his nation restored, and before long, they returned again to idolatry!
Revelation leaves John in the vision of the Glorious King Jesus, the New Jerusalem, the faithful servants, and the Lord’s announcement that He is coming soon!
And lastly, Paul has already lost his life so many times that he has little fear in facing whatever lies ahead to testify of Jesus in Rome.
Next week begins Week 1 even though it’s the last week of December. Keep going. Don’t stop now. The Word is coming alive inside of you!
