Day and Night

This is Day Three of reading the One Year Bible. My plan is always to read it first thing in the morning, "Bible before breakfast", but in the past three days I have read it first thing in the morning, last thing at night (I mean, just before midnight!) and in the middle of the morning.

It's not a rigid schedule that gets me to read my Bible everyday, it's a basic desire for it. After reading the One Year Bible for quite a few years and I have quite an appetite for God's word. And I love how God meets me when I open up the Bible. The ongoing conversation I have with Him in prayer all day long definitely becomes two-way when I read the words in his book.

This morning I had a hard time choosing my "favorite passage from today' readings". I finally settled on Matthew 4:4,7, & 10, where Jesus defeated temptation by quoting scripture. It's a great example to follow!
