Memorize and Reflect

For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. (Matthew 5:18)

Prayer Direction

Thank God for loving you enough to reveal His Word and for giving us The Book. Ask God to grow your love for The Book and deepen your appreciation for His revelation. Pray for a mind that remembers what you learn as you read the Bible and for strength to live out the life-lessons God teaches you.

“Live It!” Challenge

Thirty Day Challenge: If you don’t have a regular daily engagement with the truth God has revealed in His Book, consider doing the Shoreline reading plan for 30 days. Make a commitment to read or listen to a full chapter of the Bible each day. Try to do it at the same time each day and find a place you can do this with minimal distractions. Each day, seek to find one idea or insight that can impact your life or your attitude. You might even want to write down this insight each day and look back at all you have learned over the month.

Small Group Discussion
