Reading for Day 17September 17
Eph. 5:1-21
Psalm 15:1-5
Prov. 3:21-26
This past week in our small groups we studied about the Bible. One of the things that proves that God inspired the writing of scripture is the "internal consistency" of the Bible. As we have been reading small portions from the New Testament, the Psalms and Proverbs we have had a chance to see how consistent the message of the Bible really is.
In Psalms we hear about dwelling in the God's holy hill. In Ephesians we are instructed to be filled with the Holy Spirit. God wants a relationship with us. Proverbs echo's the call to right living that is found in both Psalms and Ephesians. Sometimes we overlook the fact that these same themes are repeated with great consistency through the Bible. The reason for this, God Himself wrote the Bible. He used different men at different times in different circumstances and still the major themes are consistent. We always meet a God committed to righteousness. A God who reaches out to mankind with compassion. This is great stuff. We can have confidence when we read.

Prayer that God will withhold His goodness and blessing from those who are in need today.

I am praying Ps 15:2-5 for myself today....
What a great reminder of God's blessings upon us.
Read day 18,
Nothing better than being reminded of the "Wives Submit" wait that wasn't the point..."Love your wives as yourself" Got it, much better approach.

Thankfully God's compassion is greater than our sins.
