My awesome, Grandchildren, and Annika, Kaleigh, Kate, Gavin; whom I love and pray for every day: “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we LOVE GOD AND 1KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. For THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.” (1 John 5:2-3) 1tēreō: to observe practically. Which means to conform our actions to. So, our love for God will be demonstrated by how we LIVE OUT the Word of God.
“…the LORD spoke to Joshua saying: “This Book of the Law (our Bible today) shall not DEPART FROM YOUR MOUTH, but you shall MEDITATE in it DAY AND NIGHT, that you may OBSERVE TO DO according to ALL THAT IS WRITTEN IN IT. For then you will make your way PROSPEROUS, and then you will have GOOD SUCCESS.” (Josh. 1:1, 8)
This is how strongly the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY feels about us KEEPING AND DOING HIS WORD! “Therefore you shall love the LORD your God, and keep His charge, His statutes, His judgments, and His commandments always…you shall lay up these words of mine IN YOUR HEART AND IN YOUR SOUL, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall TEACH THEM to your children, speaking of them when you:
- sit in your house,
- when you walk by the way,
- when you lie down,
- when you rise up.
- you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the earth. (Deut. 11:1, 18-21)

Tips on Reading the Bible Daily
- Start reading the Bible today — there is no better time, and there’s no reason to wait. Set aside a specific time each day.
- Set your schedule and then stick to it. Mornings are great, but feel free to use any time that works consistently for you.
- Read the Bible for the sake of learning, not simply to accomplish your next reading. Say a prayer to God, seeking understanding and revelation, before you begin, asking the Holy Spirit to GIVE YOU WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING, then be refreshed by the words you read!
Notice: […We must understand that the bible says:] “This Book of the Law (our Bible today) shall not DEPART FROM YOUR MOUTH.” !!!] That’s for you: Stephanie, Ethan, Camden, Olivia, Aidan, Landon, Kinsley, Annika, Kaleigh, Kate, Gavin…
