"Let There Be Light"

       Today I start my journey through the Bible. There are so many reading plans to choose from, so as I began looking through each, I needed to decide what was best for me. I would recommend looking through the different versions before you pick up a One Year Bible off the shelf and begin reading. That is what I did last year, and I found the plan I was following wasn't the best for my scatter-brained self. 
       Check out this link below for a website that is great in helping you select the best version for you and helping you stay on track through each day. And if you just happen to miss a few days of reading, this little website can get you caught up. It's called YouVersion.
       I begin my reading in Genesis as most seem to do. I always love reading the story of creation. It is never hard for me to believe God created this world. I look outside at the sunrise and sunset and know that's my God. I look at the earth we live in and see His footprint everywhere. Maybe it's just easy for me to see, but I know my God created all of this. He is so amazing. But as I read the beginning passage in Genesis 1, I note the first words spoken by God, "Let there be light." God saw that the light was good and separated light and darkness. And God still seeks out the same thing. That we would be light instead of darkness and He will one day separate those who are light and those who are dark. A passage written thousands of years ago is relevant for today. This New Year my hopes are that my light would shine brighter than it ever has and that I would stay consistent through my time in the Word. What are some of your hopes of what God might do in your life?
