Step 6 - Introduction

Introduction

Step Six takes us through the remaining 26 weeks of the year. God willing (and we should always think in those terms - see James 4:15) you will be able to build on the foundations already laid and to see how all parts of God's word fit into a pattern.

KEEP IT UP!

Reading the Bible is not something which comes easily. God says: "My thoughts are not your thoughts ... for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8-9).

However, if we allow the word of God to influence our minds, it will give us an increasing desire for God's ways. "O, taste and see that the Lord is good!"

THE WORD OF GOD IS POWERFUL

• It has the power to instruct us in right principles, to correct wrong ideas, to furnish the mind with all that is good, and to make us wise unto salvation (2 Timothy 3:15-16)
• The process is steady but sure. It is vital for our present happiness and our future well-being. Eternal life depends on our acceptance of God's Way of salvation as outlined in His word (Acts 20:32).
• Remember to read every day, carefully, consistently and prayerfully.
