A word of encouragement


Where are you in your reading? Several of you have told me that you feel really, really behind. Are you farther along in your reading than you were June 6? Then you are reading more Scripture than most of the world!

Today. Open your Bible to the place you last read. Read one chapter. Just one. Good job!

One verse at a time. One chapter at a time. You will, yes you will, read the Bible through!

Meanwhile, keep coming to class. Keep reading at least one chapter each day. Keep asking God to help you find the time and the desire to read the Bible through. If reading isn't working, try listening.

Is it God's will for you to read the Bible? Of course it is! We'll all be praying for each other (we already are, you know, each time St. Mary's gathers for worship).

What God has started in your heart, God will bring to fruition. Thanks be to God.
