The first day of a new year.

What will we do with it? It will never get any easier than today to take action. Never.

Do you want to learn more from God’s Word this year? Take the first step – read a chapter of the Bible today.

Do you want to pray more this year? Take the first step – go to a quiet room and get alone with God now.

Do you want to reach someone for Christ? Take the first step – get out of your office and go find someone to talk to.

Do you want to spend more time with family? Take the first step – log off the computer and have a conversation.

Do you want to take better care of the only body God gave you to serve Him with? Take the first step – literally! Take a walk or a run.

Do you want to read more? Take the first step – begin on chapter one now.

Whatever you desire to do…do something about it! On this first day, take the first step.

The journey is made one step at a time. Take the first today.

The purpose of Bible memory and how to practice it. God wrote a memory Book! This is what the Word of God was given for: to help us remember what God wants us to remember and what we are so prone to forget. Scripture memory is frequently emphasized to children and young people, but sorely neglected as we get older. Yet this is the time when God's Word most needs to be reinforced and rehearsed! Hebrews 2:1 says, "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip."

    very simple, yet very good advice. there is a phrase that says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing you have always done and expecting different results. if you truly want to change, then you have to create the change. good stuff brother.
