Bible Study & Devotional (January 1, 2021)
Guiding Scripture: Acts 3:19-23
🔴 Happy New Year!
Let us Pray: Lord, we thank you for allowing us to see another year, another opportunity to serve you by serving others. Thank you, heavenly Father, for all your blessings and protection with the provisions you have given us. We pray for your healing for this land as we repent and turn from our wicked ways and humble ourselves in obedience to you and your purpose for us. We appreciate and declare our love for them and for you, Dear Lord, as they and we too want so much to be Holy as you are Holy. Amen

Welcome to day 1, and thank you for participating. This is a community effort and a resource for those seeking to network with Christ-followers globally. Each day we hope to set aside time to pray, meditate, and intercede on others’ behalf. May we be diligently intentional with our study and ask what God would have us receive.
In Genesis 1-2, God reminds us that He created an excellent and useful earth that He affirms and sustains. As a manifestation of God’s spiritual personality and moral likeness, we are charged with the care of this earth.
Proverbs 1:5 “Let the wise hear and increase in learning,
and the one who understands obtain guidance.”
As we continue to develop an understanding of God’s cosmic divine nature and that wisdom ignites our self-awareness, may we proceed to seek Him in thought, speech, and behavior. At the same time, navigate through this life with the cross in view.
