Read the Bible in 2024

I hope you are keeping up each day. You’ll be so glad if you do!

Two suggestions: Get an accountability partner and leave your Bible in a prominent place.

  • January 5, 2024
  • Genesis 9:8 – 10-32
  • Psalm 4: 1-8
  • Proverbs 1: 10-14
  • Matthew 4: 21 – 5:12

I’m your partner!

  • I’m reading each day too.
  • I’m also writing a small note with a thankfulness for the day or some other positive thought of the day, such as an answered prayer. My jar looks mostly empty now, but in a short period of time will be filling up. It’s not too late to begin either one of these tasks. If you do, you’ll be thankful.

Prayer Focus

Pray for the teachers and students who have already returned to school and those who will do so Monday. As a teacher, I found this to be a difficult day because students did not want to return to school and work, second only to the first day of each year.

Thank-you for reading and praying today. Thanks, too, for telling others about The Prayer Link.
