I love how the Bible links together so perfectly! Today we read about Noah walking with God and building the ark. God told him to put just one door in the side to enter the ark and survive the world-wide flood that destroyed everything. Then we read about Jesus in Matthew. Here He is, THE way THE truth and THE life! Yes, THE door! He does everything right, everything according to God's perfect plan. We couldn't do it, so He did! What an awesome God! Let's continue to Psalms, where David reminds us that God is a rescuer and the ultimate victor. Yes, we were hopelessly defenseless, but Jesus rescued us! Proverbs wraps this day up nicely by reminding us to turn from evil company, kind of like Enoch and Noah who walked in fellowship with God. Jesus is Victor!

As the new year begins we all tend to contemplate our goals and review our priorities. I have found, as have many others, that accountability is very helpful when trying to establish new habits and disciplines. God has put us in church families for a reason. Accountability is one of them. This year I want to dig in to the Word of God with my brothers and sisters. Let's use this forum to encourage each other to soak in the Word of God and build that solid foundation that God wants us to have! Jacque
