small step: devour the word daily

My 2012 Bible reading plan
Read the whole Bible this year

Come Drink Live 365
Today's readings:
Genesis 1-3
Matthew 1

Thoughts
Today's readings focus on beginnings
The beginning of everything and the beginning of Christ's ministry on earth
But the thought that resonated with me most was all the behind the scenes work
The days of preparation that God did before creating man
The thought that God put into what was needed all living creatures to survive, thrive, and procreate
The thought that God put into creating Adam and Eve
The thought that God put into creating me and you.

Psalm 139: 13-18 NLT
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous -- how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day passed. How precious are you thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I cannot even count them; they outnumber the gains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!

And Matthew 1 illustrates that same points in a different way.
The lineage of Jesus shows that same thought level.
Instrumental men such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Boaz, David, Solomon and on and on
It even lists pivotal women like Rahab and Ruth
God was with me even before there was a me.
I am so thankful
I think it's fitting on the first day of the year to meditate on that
God knows what is ahead in the next moment, next day, next month, and so on
Who better to put my trust in?
