Days, Years, and Our 2022 Schedule January 1, 2022

Welcome to 2022! Moses wrote that “we spend our years as a tale that is told” and today we have begun another chapter in that story. In that same Scripture, Psalm 90, the emphasis is actually on days. The word is found five times and is a reminder that years are made up of days. If you want to make the most of the new year then you must make the most of every new day God gives you!

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” (Psalm 90:12).

An average life of 78 years is made up of 28,490 days, if you include leap years. That sounds like a lot until you live a few of those years. Of course, the greater truth is that all of us can figure up how many days we have lived but only God knows how many days we have left. What will you do with the days the Lord allows you to live?

On this first day of 2022 I am preaching to a group of single adults in Atlanta, Georgia. Most days this year I will either be preaching somewhere or on my way to preach somewhere. We desire your prayers more than ever as we give ourselves to the work of the gospel and an emphasis on revival. By God’s grace, I want to make every day count.

For several years we posted our monthly itinerary in an article at the beginning of each month. I am happy that this year we are able to share the full 2022 preaching schedule on our website. There will be some adjustments I am sure (not everything goes as planned!). But I hope it will encourage you to join us in one of the meetings and to pray for us in each of them. You can find the calendar at enjoyingthejourney.org/events. Click on individual meetings to find more details or you may choose to reach out to the host church.

Let’s all determine to speak to others about Christ every day. Remember that you don’t have to be in a special meeting to preach the gospel. May the Lord bless you and make you a blessing each day in the coming year!

My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof” (Psalm 71:15).

M’Cheyne’s Bible Reading Plan Each year I adopt some plan for my daily devotional reading of Scripture. To be honest, I try to vary this a little each year to keep it fresh. Over the last year, I have been using a plan that Robert Murray M’Cheyne developed for the people that he pastored. It is helpful for several reasons: It leads you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice during the year. It gives a variety of Scripture passages to read each day - historical, prophetical, and devotional. It divides the readings into readings for the morning and for the evening. It promotes a reading for private devotions and one for family devotions. It encourages the church family to read through the Bible together. M’Cheyne’s heart was to strengthen families and the church family, while deepening the personal devotion of each Christian. I can tell you from personal experience, that it has been a delight to follow. (Read M'Cheyne's full introduction to his system HERE).  We have decided to make M’Cheyne’s plan available through Enjoying the Journey this year, with the prayer that God will use it to lead all of us to a life full of the Word in the days ahead.
