Text: Isaiah 40:6-8, Matthew 24:35
Greetings, sweet Sisters, and welcome to the This Is The Bible plan!
As we get started, would you take a few minutes (six, actually) to watch this helpful introductory video?
Over the next 9 days we will study the characteristics of God’s Word, the Bible, the Holy Scriptures. We will see what God has to say about this text that we gather around each day, that shapes our faith and refines our hearts.
What we want to explore this week is: What is true of God’s word? And, what does that mean for us? How do these foundational truths about Scripture change the way we engage with it and with God? Can we trust the Bible? Do we trust it?
Each day’s reading will include a portion of Psalm 119, along with additional scriptures relevant to the day’s topic. Psalm 119 is a remarkable (and remarkably long!) psalm of David in which he exclaims his love for God and His Word over and over. And over.
David divides the psalm into 22 sections, one for each letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and we will read just a few sections each day. Our prayer is that, like David, we will allow our love for God’s Word to be the invisible thread that runs not only through this study but through our very lives. As Nancy Guthrie said in the video above, we can’t depend on yesterday’s truth meal. We need one today.
Go ahead, watch the short-yet-awesomely-clear video if you haven’t yet. And come back tomorrow to dig into this plan with us. The Holy Spirit is sure to meet us and teach us as He so faithfully does.
Spot up for this write-up, I actually think this website wants much more consideration. I’ll probably be once more to read far more, thank you for that information.

I have come to a crossroad where I need to re evaluate myself and my life. I am missing the big piece of my puzzle. God. I treat him as a pandora bracelet by using him on a prn basis , only when I’m going somewhere to show off. Bottom line is what is the condition of my heart. In reconditioning my heart , I have willed to get to that bottom line and get back to My God. Rediscovering God and falling in love with Him all over again through His word. His living word to quicken my heart recondition it and to make me alive again. My daily life with my daily struggle will not be the same if I don’t seek God first. I pray that the next nine days the Holy Spirit will move me and create in me a new heart. My journey is heavy and only with My God’s living word that I shall not be among the dead.
Thank you for sharing your heart. I am praying alongside you for both of us!
