In today's reading we will read Luke Chapter 3:1-18, 21-23, Mark Chapter 1:2-11, and Matthew Chapter 3:1-17. Today we read about God calling John the Baptist to fulfill His prophecy of being a voice calling in the desert, making the way for the coming of the Lord. John taught confession and repentance of sins and bearing fruit worthy of that repentance after baptizing. We also read about Jesus coming to be baptized, telling John that it was good for them to do everything that was right. 

In our discussion for daily application today we will talk about the fact that Jesus is not above the law. He always does what is right, like our Heavenly Father, and we, too, should strive to do all that is right and bear fruit worthy of our repentance. Everyone is known by the fruit they produce. By abiding in Jesus and being one with Him we, too, can continue to produce fruit and be encouraged in knowing that even when we bear good fruit our Heavenly Father will prune us and refine us so that we bear EVEN MORE good fruit!

In today's reading we will read Luke Chapter 2:39-52 and Matthew Chapter 2. Today we will read about several of the prophecies that God fulfilled in the Old Covenant about Jesus- that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem, God would take Him out of Egypt and Jesus would be called a Nazarene. We will also see God's great provision for Jesus to protect Him while He was growing up. 

In today's discussion for daily application we will talk about the probability of ANYONE being able to fulfill the over 320 prophecies in the Old Covenant about the coming Messiah and why God gave us the prophecies- so that we would know without a shadow of a doubt that HE had caused all these things to happen, not anyone else! God told us in Isaiah 46:9-10 that there is no other like Him, He is the only God, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, His counsel shall stand and He will accomplish all His purpose. God alone is responsible for Jesus fulfilling all the prophecies, not Jesus himself. And the fact that we have found the Dead Sea Scrolls and have been able to confirm that they were written over  one hundred years before Jesus was born tells us that the prophecies were indeed written long before Jesus was born. We can know with certainty that Jesus is in fact the Messiah that God sent to save the world from sin, so that mankind could be reconciled to God and have shalom- wholeness, peace. God's Word is TRUE. Our faith is not based on a fairy tale or myths. Faith in God is not simply for those who are weak and need a crutch for something to believe in. Jesus is, indeed, THE Way, THE Truth, and THE Life. Amen.

In today's reading we will read Luke Chapter 2:21-38. We will read about Mary and Joseph obeying God's laws by dedicating Jesus to God on the eighth day of his birth, as well as offering the required offerings and waiting for the time of Mary's purification after giving birth. We will read about Simeon and Anna, a prophet and prophetess who both loved and obeyed God, speaking with the power of the Holy Spirit about how Jesus would fulfill the promise of God's Promised One who would save the people. 

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about obedience and the importance in us doing so. Jesus always obeyed God and still does! He only speaks to the Holy Spirit what the Father tells Him and He obeyed God even to die for us, giving His life as a ransom for many. Before dying Jesus taught us that if we love Him we are to obey Him. What does He tell us to do? He taught us to love one another and that if we wanted to be great we must serve one another while remembering that no one is greater than He is. So let us remember to serve and love one another with joy while we obey Jesus and our Heavenly Father, today and every day!

In today's reading we will cover the books of Luke Chapter 1:57-80, 2:1-20, and Matthew Chapter 1:18-25. Today we will read about the both birth of John, who would prepare the the people  before Jesus came, and the birth of Jesus. On John's name giving day Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke prophecy about John, saying that John would let people know how to be saved, that it would happen when their sins were forgiven. Then Zechariah praised God. The angel, who reassured Joseph in a dream, confirmed Jesus as our savior when he told Joseph that the son Mary would bear would be God's son, who would save people from their sins and be called Immanuel, God with us. The angel heralded Jesus' birth by proclaiming that joy was coming to ALL people because the Lord Jesus had come to save us, bringing with Him Shalom, completeness and peace. Then the shepherds also praised God after hearing the amazing news. Following our regular reading we will read 2Samuel Chapter 7, where David wanted to build a house for God and God responded by telling David that HE would build a house for DAVID!  

In today's discussion for daily application we will talk about Jeremiah 29:11- God knows the plans He has for us. Plans to prosper us and not hurt us. Plans to give us hope and a future. God not only fulfilled those plans by sending His son to be the savior of the world, but He fulfills those plans in US every single day by giving us good works to do. We can TRUST our loving God and know that the works He gives us to do ARE good because He doesn't change. And we cannot out give God. When David wanted to build a house for God, God responded by saying HE would build an eternal house for DAVID. God knew the plans He had, even way back then. God has always known the plans He has for us. And God will carry those plans to completion. Like Zechariah and the shepherds, let us PRAISE GOD TODAY AND EVERY DAY! For our God is soooo good, loving, and wonderful and shows us His great love every single day.

In today's reading we will begin reading the New Covenant with the Book of Luke, Chapter 1:5-56. We will read about God fulfilling the last prophecy He gave us in the Old Covenant book of Malachi, where He told us that He would send Elijah the prophet, who would restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers. In the opening chapter of Luke the angel Gabriel delivered a message to Zechariah that his wife would bear a son who would have the spirit and power of Elijah and would turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient ones to the wisdom of the righteous, to make read for the Lord a prepared people. We will see the disbelief of Zechariah contrasted with the belief of Mary, who, when delivered a similar message of miraculous birth, received it with a spirit of acceptance.

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about having faith in God and believing that He can and will do all things He says He will do. Nothing is impossible for God! Abram believed God when he was told that God would send him a child and it was credited to him as righteousness. Elizabeth told Mary that she would be blessed because she trusted there would be fulfillment of the things the angel Gabriel told her would happen. We may not understand everything we read in God's prophecies and writings to us, but it is important that we have faith in everything God tells us and that we obey Him.

In today's reading we will complete both the Book of Nehemiah and the Old Testament! Today we will read Nehemiah Chapters 12:27-44, 13:1-27, 30-31. Today we will see Nehemiah zealous for upholding God's laws and holding everyone- leaders, priests, and people- accountable for doing the job that they were given to do. The people were to obey the teachings of the priests and support the priests by bringing in their tithes and offerings; the priests were supposed to work at the temple to teach the people and do the jobs they had been appointed; the leaders were supposed to ensure that God's laws were being upheld by the people and the priests. When Nehemiah saw that everyone was failing in their responsibilities he called them out on their shortcomings and set everyone back on the right track.

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about the importance of spiritual growth and the responsibilities that we have to uphold God's laws, encourage other believers to obey God's Word, and respect the authority of our spiritual leaders when the need arises for them to point out where we are not following God's rules. We will also talk about the importance of bringing our tithes and offerings into God's churches so that we may financially support the spiritual leaders that God provides for us. We are all meant to do our part!

In today's reading we will continue reading the Book of Nehemiah with Chapters 9 and 10. In today's reading we will see repentance and restoration, leading to a spiritual revival.  This is the same equation that equals revival today! When the people were repentant for their sins and restored in their relationship with God by making a promise to obey His laws and commandments, especially in properly respecting the Sabbath, His appointed times, and giving their first fruits back to God, they had a spiritual revival!

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about the importance of observing God's rules even today. It is still just as important today for us to observe the Sabbath and God's appointed times, such as the Feast of First Fruits, Passover, and the Feast of Tabernacles, which is coming up in a couple of months. Another way we can obey God is by accepting Jesus as our Savior, who paid for our sins so that we might be reconciled to God. Belief in Jesus is the first step in restoring our relationship with God. Sin separates us from God but Jesus' atonement solves that problem so that nothing can separate us from the love of God, which is in Jesus, our Messiah. I will also share some of my experiences this year as a witness to God's faithfulness to provide for us when we seek His kingdom first. It is my prayer that during this year you will also become more faithful to God to honor and obey Him, His commandments, and observe His Appointed Times.

In today's reading we will read the Book of Nehemiah,  Chapters 6-8. In today's reading we will see obedience and the happiness that comes from obeying. We will read about Nehemiah completing the task of rebuilding the wall that God put on his heart to do. Then we will see God put another task on his heart, which Nehemiah will also obediently do. We will read about the importance of not only reading/hearing God's Word, but the importance of understanding it when we read about Ezra reading to the people the laws that God gave Moses and then the Levites explaining the laws so the people could understand them clearly!  We will read that when the people understood they were motivated to obey God's laws. Then, when the people obeyed they were happy!

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about the importance of spending time meditating on God's Word so that we can understand it and apply it to our daily lives, too, the same way the people did in today's reading.  When we hear and understand God's Word it is important to then also obey it, and when we do, we will be happy like the people we read about today!

In today's reading we will read continue reading the Book of Nehemiah, with Chapters 4 and 5. In today's reading we will see Nehemiah living the example of how to be a servant leader. Nehemiah looked out for the people, whether it was to pray for them, offer them encouragement, stand up for them when they were being treated poorly by the leaders, or showing how lead mercifully and caringly by not taxing the people but instead, feeding them. 

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about being a servant leader whenever WE are placed in a position of leadership and taking care to treat our brothers and sisters with service, rather than lording authority over them. Jesus modeled this behavior as well, and taught us about it in Matthew 20:25-28, when He told the disciples that he, himself, came to serve, not be served, and so we, too, are to serve one another. We will discuss 2 Timothy 3:16-17 which tells us that all scripture is God breathed (spoken by God) and useful for teaching, correction, restoration, and training in righteousness so that we may be made capable and fully equipped for every good work that God has prepared for us to do. Thank you, God for providing us with your loving and powerful teaching so that we may be encouraged, capable,  fully equipped, and READY TO SERVE YOU in every good work you give us to do. Amen.

In today's reading we will read Nehemiah Chapters 2-3. Today we will see God put the task of rebuilding Jerusalem's walls back up on Nehemiah's heart and provide for Nehemiah to be able to carry out the task that He has put on his heart!

In our discussion for daily application we will talk about God's faithfulness to complete the good works he has prepared for us to do. If God puts something on our hearts to do then He will also provide for it to be done, as He did in Nehemiah's case. Just as God placed Nehemiah RIGHT WHERE HE WAS, so are WE placed to be in positions to DO what God puts on our hearts to do! It is my prayer that we will all be encouraged to be bold and strong for whatever task God sets for us to do, knowing that if God puts it on our hearts to do, He will DO IT!
