SUMMER BIBLE READING PLAN
WEEK 7
Hello Trinity Family!

I am thrilled for our Trinity Church family members who’ve been journeying through the Scriptures with Beck and I this summer. Our daily Bible reading and prayer is preparing us to receive God’s Kingdom realm in a FRESH new way. Don’t let your family and friends miss out on this amazing opportunity to grow in wisdom (Proverbs), in passion (Psalms), and in knowledge of the Father’s heart and the Son’s power (Gospels). Encourage one another to participate and experience the peace-giving, joy-bringing, truth-telling, life-transforming power of God’s Word.

Reading the book of Mark ends this week with a brief narrative of Jesus’ death and resurrection. We are then led into the first few chapters of Luke, a book written 'to all the lovers of God'. As a physician, Luke understood the need to exhibit mercy and compassion toward others. From this perspective, he presents Jesus as the Savior of all who come to Him. Every socio-ethnic barrier is broken in this Gospel of mercy as Luke tells of Jesus loving on children, embracing the forsaken, and ministering to women while showing concern and compassion for ordinary people everyday. Take in this revelation of Jesus’ undying love for you and for all of humanity. As we read, may our eyes be opened to the needs among us and, by our response, become more like Him.

Below is this week's daily Bible Reading Plan. Tag @trinity_online  or use the  #tcbiblereading  when sharing about your adventure in rediscovering how valuable, practical, and all-around awesome God’s Word is. 



Extra Reading:  
Let’s continue adding one chapter from Psalm and one chapter from Proverbs to our Gospel reading each day. You will be grateful for the increased revelation you’ll receive of God’s heart and His ways by spending time meditating on the words from those books each day.
  

Below is this week's daily reading plan.

Weekly Prayer:
Father, I’m so grateful You sent Your Son Jesus to be our Hero-God who sets us free. I want to live my life as one of the mighty lovers of God who spends their days rejoicing in and sharing about all You’ve accomplished and all You’ve promised. Give me the grace of Mary, a fully-surrendered servant. Empower me to seek You like Simeon, pursuing a manifestation of Your Glory. Holy Spirit, guide me prophetically like Anna, choosing to worship and pray continually. Let me be consumed with passion for my Father, like Jesus, becoming totally dependent on Your Word. I want to run with the fire of John the Baptist, persuading people to turn away from their sins and turn to God for the freedom of forgiveness. Let my soul overflow with praises and my spirit burst with joy over my life-giving God. Let me fall more and more in love with You each day. In Jesus’ Name.
Weekly Memory Verse(s): 

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, and he has anointed me to be hope for the poor, freedom for the brokenhearted, and new eyes for the blind, and to preach to prisoners, ‘You are set free!’ I have come to share the message of Jubilee, for the time of God’s great acceptance has begun. (Luke 4:18-19 TPT)

Surrender your anxiety!
     Be silent and stop your striving and you will see that I am God.
     I am the God above all the nations,
     and I will be exalted throughout the whole earth.  (Psalm 46:10 TPT)

Within your heart you can make plans for your future, but the Lord chooses the steps you take to get there . (Proverbs 16:9 TPT)


Daily Prayer:
Lord, I know that bread alone will not satisfy, but true life is found in every word going forth from Your mouth. Feed me with Your Word today as I read, meditate, and inwardly digest all you have graciously provided. Make me hungry and thirsty for the Living Word, the Bread of Life, the Water of Life—Jesus. You alone can satisfy the longings of my heart and bring me into my eternal inheritance. May Your Spirit of all Truth open my mind today as I read and study Your Word. Give me a willing heart to be led into all truth, be taught the Father’s will for my life, and walk in it. Prepare my heart, by the power of Your Spirit, to share with others the pearls of wisdom You teach me today. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
