Scripture reading plan for July

Here’s a suggestion for your personal reading of and meditation on Scripture for the remainder of the month of July:

First, read the Gospels noting specifically the life and person of Christ, Who He was, how He lived, what He spent His life doing and saying.

Second, pray for spiritual illumination to understand and faith to believe who He is, His Deity.

Third, give sustained and prayerful thought on the glory of these great realities so that your heart is lifted up in joyful worship and awe that He is God.

Fourth, preach the truth of these texts to your own heart every morning, afternoon, and evening with abandonment to who He is, God.

Fifth, taking note of how He lived and what He did in His daily life, remember that John said in 1 John:2:6 “walk in the same way in which he walked”, Peter advises in I Pet 1:22, "For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in His steps", that Paul said in I Cor 11:1 “...be imitators of me as I am of Christ”. And most of all that Jesus said "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. John 14:12.

Sixth, take the life of Christ as your blue print for you life, go and do as Christ did, be like Paul and inmate the life of Jesus, be like Him be found daily about your heavenly Fathers business.

Seventh, share the fruit of this spiritual exercise with others within the sphere of your Christian community for their spiritual encouragement
