Children’s children are the crown of old men (women), and the glory of children is their fathers.” (Proverbs 17:6 AMPC)

Beginning with Faith Moments in the Word

 Faith Moments Daily Bible Reading and Online Devotionals

We are so excited that you are starting the new year with Faith Moments Devotionals and Daily Bible Reading!

Each month we highlight some of our favorite Faith Moments Devotionals and teachings along with the Daily Bible Reading Schedule that thousands have found to help them be successful in reading through the scriptures for over 25 years!

Where and how to start?

First, pick a time of day and specific quite place that you can read and meditate on the daily reading.  Morning and night readings are already scheduled for you to help keep on track.

So many people have started reading through the Bible, but stop because they got off schedule. They think they have to start over and sadly give up on doing it altogether.  We have the solution that will help you finish no matter how many times you stop and start over trying to complete reading the Bible.

The key to successfully reading through the Bible in one year is to START!  No matter how many times you stop, keep starting again and you will finish.

What makes this schedule work is that even if you get off course, you can pick up on it and still finish.  

For example, if you have stayed committed up to March 30th but got off course until April 6th, start reading the passage we have givien for that day. Do not go back to catch up; there is no need for that.  Keep reading from that day and the next year you will have completed the Bible on April 6th!  

The day you begin no matter what day of the year it is, the following year on that date will complete your year!  So you never need be discouraged, it always works!

There are two sets of scriptures for each day.  The first one for morning and the other for evening.  This is how January 1st looks if you were to begin today: 1) Luke 5; Genesis 1-2.  (see January's schedule)

Click on the links and they will take you directly to the scripture listed for the day.  Follow the pattern we have provided and you will finish with ease! 

Don't Stop There!

Besides the Pulpit

Our focus for October is: Clergy and Pastor Appreciation Month, Columbus Day, Halloween, Wisdom.

"Call unto Me, and I will answer you,

and show you great and might things,

which you did not know."

Jeremiah 33:3

During the month of October congregations around the world give honor to those who have faithfully sought the Lord for wisdom into the scriptures.  In our imagination, we picture them having a direct line to God who gives them answers to anything they ask.

We expect that they have spent countless hours before God's throne seeking wisdom and counsel into each pressing sermon and message they are to convey to their flock.  Our hope is that they would gain insight and be shown great and mighty things that they did not know concerning the Word.

It is true that we take comfort in knowing our spirituals leaders hear from God, but what about those who are not in the clergy or ministry?  What about our political leaders, those in business, those who teach our children and those who are in search for better things beyond what we can imagine?  

For years I have expressed the importance of praying for those who seek the will of God in all aspects of life and how they will affect and effect the world.  I have often asked this question, "What if Columbus did not go?"  His life is an example of what God is willing to share with His children if we only dare to ask Him to reveal the wisdom of Heaven to those who call on Him in prayer.

As were celebrate and honor the faithfulness of our spiritual leaders, besides the pulpit, let us also give thanks to those who have changed the lives of others throughout the generations spiritually in their desire to serve God.

Here are our few of our FMD favorites on this topic:

What Christmas Means to God

Verse of the Month

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:

and the government shall be upon his shoulder:

 and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor.

The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

 (Isaiah 9:6 NKJV)

December 1^st – 7^th, 2018

Scripture Reading:  Isaiah 9:1-7

What Christmas Means to God

Christmas means a lot of things to a lot of people. Ask children and they will tell you it is a time for presents by that’s not exactly how adults view this busy holiday season.

It’s about stress for those rushing to shop.  A time of family traditions, lights, trees and will there be snow?  Maybe that’s a little insight of what Christmas means to you, but what does the event we call “Christmas” mean to God?

It’s Prophecy Fulfilled

For God Christmas was a way for prophecy to be fulfilled. It means that His Word is true and what He says will come to pass. 

Through the prophets, God had sent a this message of hope that a Messiah would come.  We can read about this in the book of Isaiah.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given:

and the government shall be upon His shoulder:

 and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor.

The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end,

 upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom to order it,

and to establish it with judgment and justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” (Isaiah 9:6-7)

The birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, was foretold in Isaiah, but fulfilled according to the scriptures in Luke chapter 2.  In reality Christmas to us is physical proof that prophecy has been fulfilled, but to God it means His children can one day come home because the One and only Savior was born. (jw/cw)
