SWHW Bible Reading Plan: September 2021Sample

SWHW Bible Reading Plan: September 2021

DAY 15 OF 22

Top Takeaway from Joni Stepp:

I believe John makes it very clear in this letter that love is the heartbeat of our life in Christ - both towards the Lord and towards those He created. He mentions the word love 40+ times (according to which translation you’re reading.)

But one mention stands out in 1 John 5:3:

“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments and His commandments are not burdensome.” 

How do we test if we love the Lord our God? We keep His commandments. Sounds burdensome; doesn’t it? 

It’s not. Why?

Because if you are born again in Christ, you have the Holy Spirit of God inside of you. The third part of the Trinity empowers and equips you in all that God calls you to. 

How do we know what God calls us to? What are His commands? 

We read them in His Word. We prioritize seeking His truth in the Bible. We come to the Bible and ask for the Holy Spirit to illuminate the text and help us apply it to our lives.

Why? For THIS is the love of God, that we keep His commands.

Father, Your commands are not a burden. You have more than equipped us to walk in Your ways, by Your power, and we thank You. Give us the ability to walk in Your love and obedience today. Amen.

About this Plan

SWHW Bible Reading Plan: September 2021

Using God's Word as the foundation for our conversation, every devotional is written by women in the trenches of faith, family and work; aiming to live for the glory of God and the good of others. There are enough devotions included for a typical 5-day work schedule. We recommend plugging into your local church for the remaining two days of each week.
