Dear Faithful Readers:
Thank you!
With today’s post, I have completed exactly one year of daily devotionals. As promised, we have walked together – each day – through the entire Bible. Oh, we haven’t looked at every single verse of the Bible. But we have looked at key passages, one day at a time. I hope you have been as blessed by reading these devotionals as I have been by writing them.
It’s been a good walk through the Gospels; the Law; the History; the Psalms; the Poetry; the Prophecy; and the Epistles of Holy Scripture. And I have so enjoyed your company along the way.
So now what?
Thanks to your encouragement, I have decided to continue posting The Mustard Seed Daily Devotional.
My current plan is to shift from a genre based organization to a theme based approach. I will be exploring what the scriptures have to say about the themes of our lives and our daily walk with God. Faith, Hope, Love….well, you get the idea.
So I hope and pray that you will continue the journey with me. And, as always, I will look forward to your comments whenever you can send them along.
Who knows where, by God’s grace, we will end up going?
Thanks for your faithful support and readership. Here’s to year #2 of The Mustard Seed Daily Devotional!
Paul
P.S. – Some of you have asked if year #1 will be in print form in the future. All I can say is, I’ll keep you posted. And again, thanks for reading.
