Good morning. Let’s plan on and pray for a good day today and for each day of 2026.
A Scripture for Today
I’m pleased to tell you there are no new OBITUARIES posted this morning.
Read the Bible in 2026
- January 1
- Matthew 1-4
- I like this plan because it gives the option to start in Matthew and because you only read from one book of the Bible each day.
- Choose the Bible you will use this year (Large print?, Already in your possession, A new or specific translation, etc.)
- Get your pens or highlighters ready, if you choose to use them.

In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.

Purpose: ‘Jesus at Work Through
His People’
1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach
2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
Acts 1:1-2
Opportunity
May 2026 begin with a wonderful day of reading, praying, studying, actioning, etc. as He would have us do.
