"The one who keeps the prophetic words of this book is blessed." Both James and John reiterate that the blessing is not in reading God's word, it is in doing what it says! Only two days left in 2013 and we have finished our reading of the New Testament. The goal should never be, "how much did we read" but rather, "how much did we obeyed".
My dad once said, "It is not how many times you go through the bible, it is how much the bible goes through you!" As we conclude 2013 and prepared for 2014, let's focus on reading AND obeying God's word.
It has been a blessed year. I pray your are encouraged.
Just dawned on me.... How fitting. .. The very last sentence of the Bible ends with God's GRACE. Must be an important attribute of God. :)
