Week 23 of Bible 180: Asking, Seeking, Knocking….

Jan 4, 2021

—

Good morning sweet friends and Happy New Year to you!!!

I am so glad you are here and I am so glad you are reading the Bible with me! By the end of this week, we will have read through all 4 of the gospels AND we will have made our way deep into Acts…. and the new year as just begun. Isn’t that exciting?

This past week, much like the previous week, I kept seeing confirmation that the Lord wants me to go to Him for guidance. It was everywhere:

Ask, Seek, Knock.
Be persistent.
True faith has amazing power.

I need His guidance, I WANT His guidance. In planning and goal-setting and fresh-start taking of the new year, I want the Holy Spirit to guide me. I look back at 2020 and see His grace and provision all over it, and I am so grateful. For 2021, I want my goals and dreams to align with His. I want to do what He knows I can and should and I want to use the gifts He has already given me to do His will with my family, with my business, and right here, too.

I am asking. I am seeking, I am knocking. I will be persistent. And I will be expectant.

What about you?

Did you see the same thing last week in the reading? Or did something else grab you? And, if nothing really got you, what do you think about asking, seeking, knocking and being persistent? Do you have any thoughts or stories to share on that? I’d love to hear them, if so.

Like I said, we’ll be deep into Acts by this time next week. I LOOOOVE reading the New Testament right after the Old at this pace. It’s so beautiful to see the fulfillment of what we read just weeks ago, while it is still fresh. I hope you feel the same way and are blessed by this.

Please do leave a note in the comments to let me know you are here, reading with us. Your comments encourage me as well as the other readers in our community, too.

Thanks so much for being here. And, again, Happy New Year, sweet friend!

In love,

I love that verse too!
2 thoughts shouted out to me during this reading-
1) We are to be the light. Our light should shine brighter than the darkness that surrounds us.
2) Whatever we give up for God, HE will give us back + 💯 % and more.
My blessing is reading his word with others. Have a blessed week!

Still reading along with you. This week the power of deep faith stood out to me. I felt that we are called to deepen our faith through the power of the Holy Spirit so that we will know, accept and recognize Jesus more deeply so that we will be able to always turn to Jesus and share our faith with others. And as you shared we will be able to accomplish this through being persistent in asking, seeking continually knocking for wisdom and guidance from Him. Have a blessed week!
