Luke10-18

I have been very restricted on web access for the past few days. But I have kept up on my reading schedule. Today I read Luke 16-18 in about 15 minutes. This passage is bookended with how Christians are to approach money. Jesus reminded us that money has the lure of abundance, but we must never give into the temptation to worship or serve money. Our true desire needs to be to follow after Jesus.

Chapter 18 begins with the parable of the unjust judge, which Jesus used to teach about faithfulness in prayer. It is also important to remember that faithfulness is important in every aspect of our live; including Bible reading. With the passing of this weekend I am now half way through the reading plan for 2007. When I first went through DJ's reading plan I know that I was well over a week behind at this point. But I took a big part of my vacation to catch up. I finished the year just a day or two behind. But I learned a valuable lesson; daily taking in the word in small pieces is the right approach to the discipline of Bible reading. God uses that faithfulness as a door way to my wonderful lessons in life.
