Tuesday 24th
Yesterday we came to the end of our look at the Psalms 41-80 and tomorrow we will begin to look at 1 Thessalonians.
Today we will have a short recap, we commenced the daily devotions on Sunday March 22nd and for the first 105 devotions looked at various Scriptures / subjects. Since then, I have looked through various books of the Bible, we have briefly covered Genesis through to Joshua, Galatians through to Colossians, Hebrews and James and Psalms 1-80 and considered 20 hymns. It has taken 478 devotions to get to today!
Originally the devotions were prepared for the period of the first lockdown, and as we continued with the pandemic, I continued to prepare them daily until April 18th this year and then changing to just weekdays from April 19th.
We are now beginning to get back towards some normality, with us now having a midweek prayer meeting and soon a Bible study, however, because there are those who have told me they are still benefitting from and enjoy receiving the devotions I have decided to continue with them for a period on the same weekday only basis but some of them may be shorter than what I have been doing. I will re-access again later.
Thank you for your continuing support and encouragement and may you and we together as a Church family, and those who join with us through the devotions and video continue to know God’s blessing and may he cause us to be fruitful in the ongoing work of the Lord.
I didn’t put a Scripture at the beginning, I will end with it here, Philippians 1:6-7a ‘And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you (us) will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace . . .’
