40-day Bible Reading Plan

At the beginning of the shelter in place season, God caught my attention to do a 40-day fast,

and the verse that came with it was

“man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God”

 so I started a 40-day Bible reading plan.

The variety of things that had filled my life prior to covid I no longer have,

but personally it was a blessing in disguise for me

because it enabled me to go deeper into what I had remaining --

God, His Word, and being able to worship.

This has been a season for me digging down my roots deeply,

where I was not distracted by the voices of the world

 or even my friends, and was able to tune into God and be closer to him than ever before.

O I pray that we can dig our roots deep, deep down and be changed

so that we may be transformed, equipped, and prepared for whatever comes in this next season.
