SUMMER BIBLE READING PLAN
|
|
Hello, Trinity Family!
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading the Gospel of John as much as Beck and I have. Miracles are everywhere! Water turned to wine. Blind eyes opened. Even the dead rose to walk again! Every sign makes us wonder about who Jesus truly is. John’s Gospel brings us a heavenly perspective filled with such wonderful revelation in every verse. Read slowly this week, meditating on John’s revelatory writings about the Heavenly Man, Jesus.
Did you notice how John called himself “the one whom Jesus loves.” This doesn’t mean Jesus loved John more than the others. John simply knew how much Jesus loved him. Love unlocks mysteries. As we love Jesus, our hearts are unlocked to see more of His beauty and glory. When we stop defining ourselves by our failures, but rather, as 'the one whom Jesus loves', then our hearts begin to open to the breathtaking discovery of the wonder of Jesus Christ. Let your reading of John’s Gospel unveil the love and power of Jesus before you. Your life will never be the same.

Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son, Jesus, to give His life so I could fully live. And even after leaving this earth, You’ve never left me helpless or abandoned me as an orphan. You are a faithful Father and a faithful friend. Thank You for blessing me with the gift of Your Holy Spirit; the Helper and revealer of Truth, which makes Jesus—the Word—come alive to me. Holy Spirit, come make my heart Your home and set me fully free. Live in me and through me with Your love and power. Teach me about the Kingdom and its King as I read the Word this week. In every circumstance, help me to remember every Word You’ve spoken to me. As I seek strength and grace for each day, may I always remember Your words: “Loving me empowers you to obey my commands.” Jesus, You are my Source. Holy Spirit, teach me to abide in Him. Jesus, I want to live a fruitful life intimately joined to You.

Prayer taken from John chapters 14 and 15

Weekly Memory Verse(s):
Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father, too
.
- John 14:6 TPT
Deep within me are these lovesick longings, desires and daydreams of living in union with you. When I’m near you, my heart and my soul will sing and worship with my joyful songs of you, my true source and spring of life!
- Psalm 84:2 TPT
Sharing words of wisdom is satisfying to your inner being. It encourages you to know
that you’ve changed someone else’s life
.
- Proverbs 18:20 TPT

Father, I thank You, once again, for the precious gift of Your Word. I am grateful for the way it shines a bright light into—and dispels—the darkness within and around me. Your Word revives dreams gone dormant and breathes life to dry bones. It speaks of who You are, defines who I am, and demonstrates what You’ve called me to. To read Your Word is to swim in an ocean of love, joy and peace. I want to dive deep today and not merely read words on a page, but absorb a greater revelation concerning Your will, Your ways and Your worth. Holy Spirit, help me live what I learn and take this message of hope to those who need it most. For the unlovable, the untouchable, the undeserving—by the world's standards—use me, like Jesus, to draw them close and set them free. I pray all this in Jesus’ lovely and powerful name. Amen.
