Day 175 --- Song of Solomon 6-8 - Acts 7:22-43

Day 173 --- Song of Solomon 1-3 - Acts 6
So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.

I would of loved to see the works of the apostles and the strong faith they have towards Jesus. They did his work even when he was not their and so many people came to know God because of them.

He told them if they are doing the work of God, nothing will be able to stop them. Their leader has died yet they still teach his word. He gave cases of Judas and Theadus claiming to be someboyd and when they were killed their followers left, but the apostles never left Jesus. The priests let them go and told them not to speak the word of god. The apostles rejoiced but never stopped teachign the word.

Day 170 --- Proverbs 25-26 - Acts 4:23-37

The believers prayed to God and asked him why people did not believe in god when the holy spirit came through peoples' mouths and the blind can see, crippled can walk? After their prayer, they began to be filled with the holy spirit and speak teh word of God loudly. I never understood tongues but this makes me understand it in a better way

Day 169 --- Proverbs 22-24 - Acts 4:1-22

Day 169 --- Proverbs 22-24 - Acts 4:1-22
Do not withhold discipline from a child;
if you punish him with the rod, he will not die.

14 Punish him with the rod
and save his soul from death.

The bible talks alot about wisdom and discipline. I found this verse interesting. It says in Proverbs to not be scared to discipline your child because it will save his soul from death. Very awesome way of explaining that wisdom stems from discipline.

Day 168 --- Proverbs 19-21 - Acts 3

Day 168 --- Proverbs 19-21 - Acts 3
He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD,
and he will reward him for what he has done.

Giving to the the needy has been in the bible so many times since I have started reading it everyday. I never knew how much it was in the bible. The important thing to remember is to be humble and god will reward me for what I have done.

Peter healed a crippled man in the name of Jesus and showed everyone how jesus was still working. he told them to repent for their sins so they may be forgiven.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do,
and your plans will succeed.

Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

I wondered why it was so important to get baptized and it is something I have wanted to do for a long time. Repenting for my sins and getting baptized in the name of Jesus forgives my sins and I receive teh gift of the holy spirit.

Day 166 --- Proverbs 13-15 - Acts 2:1-21

Day 166 --- Proverbs 13-15 - Acts 2:1-21
The eyes of the LORD are everywhere,
keeping watch on the wicked and the good.
The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, [f]
and humility comes before honor
I love Proverbs and Psalms because of the life lessons it teaches me. The lord is EVERYWHERE I am. I am so torn away from my husband with my deployment but I always have GOd and he goes where I go. The holy spirit came at the day of Pentecost and people started speaking in tongues. Some were amazed and others thought they had too much wine.
'In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.

Day 163 --- Proverbs 5-7 - John 20

Day 163 --- Proverbs 5-7 - John 20
Proverbs has some powerful words about adultry and steering clear of adultress. Sometimes in our lives we make mistakes we are not proud of, but Jesus knows your heart. Just as he knew the heart of the woman that was going to be stoned to death because of adultry, Jesus saved her. He knew her heart.

Jesus appeared to the disciples and Thomas did not believe that Jesus really did appear. When Jesus appeared to him he said this,

Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed

Day 162 --- Proverbs 2-4 - John 19:23-42

Day 162 --- Proverbs 2-4 - John 19:23-42

keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

25 Let your eyes look straight ahead,
fix your gaze directly before you.

26 Make level [e] paths for your feet
and take only ways that are firm.

27 Do not swerve to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil.

Those are some powerful words with so much teaching.

The real mother with so much compassion for her child screamed for the other lady to take him to spare her child! The king knew then whose baby it really was.

They put a thorn crown on Jesus with a purple robe and struck him. Pilate did not want to crucify Jesus but the chief priests and people screamed to crucify, crucify, crucify! Jesus was crucified with a sign saying King of the Jews.

Day 160 --- 1 Kings 1-2 - John 18:19-40

Day 160 --- 1 Kings 1-2 - John 18:19-40

King David grew up and was dying. He handed the throne over to Solomen where Solomen established his throne as his own.

The high priest struck Jesus for speaking
the truth about his teachings. Peter was asked 2 more times if he was with Jesus, he denied him for the 3rd time and then a rooster crowed just like Jesus predicted.

All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be
God knows everything im thinking and everythign im feeling. Not even my husband can fully undestand what is going on wtih me. Only God can and he made me with his own hands the way he wanted and saw me before I was even born. I have to remember that God understands me. Jesus prayed for himself and for the disciples he also prayed for all believers. He knew his time was nearing.

Day 157 --- Psalm 109-110 - Psalm 138 - John 16

Day 157 --- Psalm 109-110 - Psalm 138 - John 16

Help me, O LORD my God;
save me in accordance with your love.
Let them know that it is your hand,
that you, O LORD, have done it.

Jesus told the disciples that they will grief the loss of him and one day rejoice. He told them it is like a mother in pain having a baby is overcome with joy when she sees the child and forgets about all the pain she was in. The disciples will grief his death, but one day when they enter the kingdom of heaven they will forget all of it and rejoice.

Day 156 --- Psalm 101 - Psalm 103 - Psalm 108 - John 15

Day 156 --- Psalm 101 - Psalm 103 - Psalm 108 - John 15
The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
Love each other as I have loved you is the words Jesus spoke. Do we honestly love each other? I have to do some soul searching because there are plenty of people I do not love. How will God answer my prayers and give me what I am desiring if I can't do a simple thing like love one another.

Day 155 --- Psalm 68 - Psalm 72 - Psalm 86 - John 14

Day 155 --- Psalm 68 - Psalm 72 - Psalm 86 - John 14
You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary;
the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people.
Praise be to God!

Teach me your way, O LORD,
and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name

Lord, I ask for you help. I ask that you get me through the next 67 days, bring me home to my husband and family. I ask that you keep me safe from evil and the things that tempt me in my life. I ask that you comfort me with my sleeping problems and ask that I become dependent on you and not anything medicine.

Day 154 --- Psalm 61-62 - Psalm 65 - John 13:21-38

Day 154 --- Psalm 61-62 - Psalm 65 - John 13:21-38

This verse tends to be in a lot of church songs as well. he is our rock and being with him, i cannot be shaken.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken

Jesus also predicted Peter denying him 3 times. I wonder what god predicts me doing? Surely god will reward us for the right we have done in our lives.

Day 153 --- Psalm 53 - Psalm 55 - Psalm 58 - John 13:1-20

Day 153 --- Psalm 53 - Psalm 55 - Psalm 58 - John 13:1-20
Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall.

But as for me, I trust in you.

Day 152 --- Psalm 39-41 - John 12:27-50
Blessed is the man
who makes the LORD his trust
When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me. 46I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness

Jesus did so many miraculous sights and people still did not believe in him. He tol them that he is the light and if you follow him you will not know darkness.

Jesus said whatever he says is words directly from the fathers mouth. Jesus did not come to the world to judge, rather than to save the world.

Day 150 --- Psalm 31 - Psalm 35 - John 11:30-57
Say to my soul,
"I am your salvation."


Look how simple this is..and think about what this means. Jesus wept. He came into the world just like a human, endured pain like a human, grieved like a human, loved like a human....i have to remember that God undestands exactly what is going on with me and that Jesus cried just like I do.



My tongue will speak of your righteousness
and of your praises all day long.

Day 149 --- Psalm 27-29 - John 11:1-29

Day 149 --- Psalm 27-29 - John 11:1-29
I actually read Psalm 27 in an english class i had. I picked that scripture because of the first verse.
The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

If i trust in god and put him first, who should i be afraid of? No matter what happens to me on earth, god will always be there for me. That is something to celebrate.

Day 148 --- Psalm 24-26 - John 10:22-42

Day 148 --- Psalm 24-26 - John 10:22-42
The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the waters.

I liked the above verse because if you think about what we did to the earth and god gaves us, it is disheartening. THis is his earth and he founded everything in this world.

The Jews demanded Jesus to tell them upfront if he is Christ. He told them after all the miracles they still dont believe and that his sheep believe him because they follow him and he gives them eternal life. I tried to imagine if I lived back then and what I would think/feel. It is hard to say, but after all the miracles it would be hard for me to deny who he really was.
