48 days down, 317 to go.

Today’s scriptures for my Read the Bible in a Year plan are Leviticus 4:1 – 5:19; Mark 2:13 – 3:6; Psalms 36:1-12; Proverbs 10:1-2.

My thoughts from today’s reading.

1. DON’T SPILL THE WINE – God wants to stretch you.
2. HAS SIN EVER WHISPERED TO YOU?
3. $100 FOR A LIE & $200 FOR CUSSING - Paying for your sins
4. BAD KIDS ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT AND CRIME DOESN’T PAY

Back then, wineskins held wine, and newer wineskins were more flexible and more able to be stretched than old

1. THE PATHWAY TO YOUR DESTINY IS A BUMPY ROAD
2. PATHETIC CHRISTIANS – THE NEW PC
3. GUYS, OUR STUFF IS PRECIOUS TOO

1. THE ROAD TO YOUR DESTINY IS A BUMPY ONE
It is a great thing when you realize your God-given purpose in life, but it can also be scary. Sometimes God calls you to something you’d rather pass on. Personally, I believe the purpose or dream God has given you will take your whole life to accomplish….and then some.
