Gospels Day 25 - Luke 8-9

I pray you are finding a blessing in the reading of the Gospels! It's day 25 already, more than halfway through. So keep it up! And if you find yourself behind...don't make a big deal of it, just start with today and keep reading each day.

This process is about building discipline, habit-forming in this daily diet of scripture. Each day feeding on Jesus' teaching sometimes bringing great insight, others simply reminding us of the stories we have known for a long time. All of it informing both our minds and our spirits of just who Jesus is and what he expects of us!

"We're not keeping secrets; we're telling them. We're not hiding things; we're bringing everything out into the open." (Luke 8:18, The Message)

The challenge is not to find the hidden message in Jesus' teaching. No, it is to discover it in every word he speaks, every miracle he does, every action he takes.

Jesus is calling us to trust him like the bleeding woman and our reading with expectation is like reaching out in faith to touch the hem of his robe.

My prayer that as you reach out towards Jesus, you may never be the same!
