Sunday February 28,2010 God Encounters

On this seventh day, we take time to revel in the ways we have encountered God in the past week.

Saturday February 27, 2010 Paralyzed and Desperate

Text: Mark 2:1-12 Reading 216
How do we recognize who needs a life-altering interaction with Jesus? And then what?

Friday, February 26, 2010 My God, Why?

Text: Matthew 27:45-54 Reading 215

Why did God choose this path -- why is it sufficient?

Thursday February 25, 2010 Overlooked and Ignored

Text: Matthew 25:31-40 Reading 214

Who are the overlooked and ignored in my life? The mystery - how Jesus exists in them!

Wednesday, February 24, 2010 Jesus Threw Them Out

Text: Matthew 21:12-17 Reading 213

Just taking a quick look at this devotion, I think, "And I bet the merchants thought they were providing a necessary service!" It makes me think how easy it is to get far away from "what is needful".

Tuesday February 23, 2010 The Softened Heart

Text: Matthew 19:3-9 Reading 212

Moving from hardheartedness to softheartedness - who is pleading "give me a chance"?

Monday, February 22, 2010 A Matter of the Heart

Text: Matthew 15:1-14 Reading 211

How have I used devout behavior to avoid doing what I know is God's will?

Sunday, February 21, 2010 God Encounters

Each Sunday we are asked to review and reflect on all we have read this week. Day 210

Saturday, February 20, 2010 Eyes Screwed Shut

Text: Matthew 13:10-17 Reading 209

May we have God-blessed eyes and God-blessed ears! God wants to engage with each of us in relationship.

Friday February 19, 2010 Walk With Me

Text: Matthew 11:28-30 Reading 208

Note: This is one of the readings that works well for beginners in this way of reading the Bible.

I like the direct talk from Jesus! I want to walk with Him!

Thursday February 18, 2010 Jesus The Healer

Text: Matthew 9:18-26 Reading 207

Which episode did you select to concentrate on? I think I will choose the first. What does it mean to be healed?

Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2010 An Invitation

Text Matthew 9:9-13 Reading 206

Reaching out to "outsiders"! Showing mercy! A strong message!

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 Pray with Simplicity

Text: Matthew 6:5-13 Reading 205

I am glad to consider again in a new way the Lord's Prayer. Especially to hear it directly from Jesus!

Monday Feb. 15, 2010 Live Before God

Text: Matthew 5:27 29, 33-37 Reading 204

It will be interesting to see how reading it like a letter will affect the impact of the words.

Developing the Habit

As the introduction to "Solo" says, the book - and thus our Lenten discipline - is intended to help each of us develop the habit of lectio divina. So, the more important part will be what each of us does one on One - with God. The blog is intended to give us a way to support and encourage us to keep going and perhaps to understand better what is going on.

I am wondering what time of day will work best for me - how about you? Maybe I will decide to get up a little earlier.

As we Read, Think, Pray, and Live each day's Bible segment, I pray we will grow as God intends - into the people he designed us to be!

Remember - Monday we start with the reading for Day 204!

The Plan

Rosalyn has a good idea - start next Monday Feb. 15th with reading 204. Then we will have the 7th day reviews on the Sundays. I will make a blog entry for each day and you can choose the blog relating to the reading you want to refer to. I hope that we will be able to encourage each other as we follow this path together.
