Each week there are five daily lessons in the Gideon Bible study, so you will read one per day for five days of the week. As you read your Bible study, for six weeks you’ll put God first in your life. Your focus will be on Him at the start of your day. It’s interesting when we read in the morning, we’re often reminded of our lesson throughout our busy day. A verse or a phrase will simmer in your mind and then refreshes itself sometime in the day. Some of you may prefer to read in the evenings or on your lunch hour…the important thing is to get started and create a routine. A good plan is to read each morning Monday through Friday, allowing the weekend to make up any lesson you missed during the week. For our study, the weekly post will arrive on Saturday, but you can begin to complete your study on Monday or right away. This study is geared for you to work at your own pace each week.
I will invite you all to a Facebook page to be able to talk to each other and feel like a study group. It is not ever mandatory to participate, it is only an outlet and place for us to chat over the course of the week with each other. You can post your comments on the blog or our Facebook Group page. Please note that Facebook is a closed group and secure, this blog is not closed and others can see your comments.
This first post is arriving early so that you are aware of how we will move forward. The next post will arrive on June 28th.

Assignment For The Week
- Write a letter to God on the inside cover of your workbook. Put today’s date inside your book and tell Him where you are in your life right now, and where you hope He leads you during this study.
