GUIDE

2023

Hear what God says:

“When the time came

for me to show you favor,

I heard you;

when the day arrived

for me to save you,

I helped you.”

Listen! This is the hour

to receive God’s favor;

today is the day to be saved!

2 Corinthians 6:2 (Good News Translation)

GOD’S SAVING WORD

Everything written in the Scriptures was written to teach us,

in order that we might have hope through the patience and

encouragement which the Scriptures give us.

Romans 15:4 (Good News Translation)

Getting the Most Out of Your

Daily Bible Reading

As you read the Bible each day, allow the Scriptures to

speak to you. This daily “dialogue” between you and the

biblical text will reveal new understandings about God,

andabout yourself.

Pray with focus and openness to see what God has

for you.

God, connect with me here, as I seek you in your Word.

Read the selected passage of Scripture slowly. Take note

ofintriguing words and phrases. Read them a second time.

Reect on what strikes you as you read. Think through

whatGod is communicating to you at this point in your life.

Respond to the passage. Speak to God directly about

what’s on your mind and heart. Look for ways to live out

what you’ve uncovered.

Orthodox Christians will observe Holy Week from April 9–15 and celebrate

Pascha on April 16 and may wish to substitute the readings from April 2–8 in

place of the readings for April 9–15, and substitute the readings from April

9–15 in place of the readings for April 16–22. This substitution will enable the

Passion and Resurrection readings to coincide with the Orthodox dates.
