And onwards

And onwards …

We hope you’ve enjoyed this journey with John over the last 8 weeks. A regular habit of reading God’s word and talking to him in prayer is one of the best routines to get into. Those of us who have contributed to these readings would say we are a long way from being perfect in these practices. Far from it! But we would all say how regularly reading God’s word has fed us and done us good in so many different ways. Like eating regular meals, whether we can remember what we ate or not the next week, we have been nourished and sustained. Our hope and prayer is that we all go on being fed by him in the days and weeks to come.
