Sunday Prepper Bible Study-Happy New Year!
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:105
Happy New Year! I pray that God will bless you with health, prosperity, wisdom, and a fresh anointing of His Holy Spirit for 2017. Especially wisdom! You’re going to need it this year like never before. You’ll need God’s wisdom to discern between right and wrong, to know how to deal with challenges, to make the right decisions in relationships and business dealings. Having God’s wisdom can make or break 2017 for you.
Wisdom is a great thing to pray for. I truly believe God supernaturally imparts wisdom upon us when we ask. But, I also believe He expects us to seek His wisdom.
How do we do that? By spending time in his Word everyday. No, it’s not legalistic, it’s called discipline. For those of you who have made resolutions to get in shape this year, it’s going to take dedication. You’ll have to commit to going to the gym, swimming, or whatever your preferred method of exercise is, five days a week. If you don’t, you won’t see any change. That’s not me trying to be legalistic, it’s just the facts.
Likewise if you want to purpose to know God better, get closer to Him, and tap into His wisdom which you are going to need so desperately this year, you’ll have to make a commitment. I urge you to make 2017 the year that you begin each day with reading God’s Word. Can you do it at the end of the day? I don’t know. Many people can’t. They find that the distractions of the day have totally consumed them and they simply don’t do it.
For me, I’ve found that Bible reading is just like tithing. If I offer God what’s left over, guess what? That’s right. Nothing is left over. So, just like giving to God, I offer the first fruits of my day by being quiet and reading his Word.
I promise you, if you’ll make a New Year’s resolution to read God’s Word, everyday, it will have a radical effect on your 2017.
If you’d like to go a step further, and challenge yourself to read the entire Bible in 2017, below is a great reading plan from our friend Pastor Mike Spaulding over at Soaring Eagle Radio. Just click the link and you can download the PDF or print it out and tuck it in the back of your Bible.
Jesus said “what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul?” Prepper translation: “What good will it do you to survive the coming economic collapse, nuclear war, or even a zombie apocalypse if you don’t know you will go to heaven when you die.” A recent study found that 10 out of 10 people die! On that day we will meet our Maker. It only makes sense to be prepared for that day. Click here to learn more about knowing GOD.
Have a blessed day and happy prepping!
Mark
