A CHAPTER A DAY 2020 by Bay Area Community Church

This book was written and organized by Greg St. Cyr.

With special thanks to Kammi McGinty for writing the daily prayers.

Like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation. 1 Peter 2:2

... In humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. James 1:21-22

Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. Psalm 119:18

Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes. Psalm 119:135

Dear Reader,

One of the things I say to myself every day is, “My highest priority in life is cultivating a personal, intimate relationship with the Lord.” Life is busy, right? Responsibilities are never-ending. In an effort to keep the main thing the main thing, this saying keeps me on track.

No single discipline has been more helpful in my relationship with Jesus than daily Bible reflection. When I enter into a daily time of silence and solitude, when I make the decision to slow down my busy life and leave lesser things undone, when I choose to prayerfully reflect upon God’s Word, I grow in intimacy with Jesus.

For years I’ve challenged others to make personal Bible reading a daily discipline. One day I stumbled upon a ministry called Project 3:45. Project 3:45 is a simple Bible reading plan that provides one chapter a day for devotional reading. The name comes from the reality that it takes an average of three minutes and 45 seconds to read one chapter. I immediately thought to myself, “Surely every follower of Jesus can find three minutes and 45 seconds!” Armed with this new information, my appeal to read a chapter a day intensified. I started issuing 90-day challenges by passing out bookmarks with 90 chapters to read. Unexpectantly one day a phrase rolled off my lips: “A chapter a day for the rest of your life.” That was it. A Godhonoring resolution to read a chapter a day every day for the rest of one’s life. Since that day I’ve found that, for most Christ followers, committing oneself to meaningfully reading a chapter a day is the best thing you can do to become more like Jesus. Of course, we can always read more.

Reading the Bible reveals the greatness, nature and glory of our triune God. It renews our mind so we know His thoughts and plans. And His Spirit supernaturally speaks to a consecrated heart from the Scriptures, convicting us of our sin and changing us into His likeness.

My prayer is that every day you will make the choice to spend time with God in His Word. I pray that this 365-day guide will help you achieve life’s highest priority: cultivating a personal, intimate relationship with the Lord. From here to the nations, - Lead Pastor Greg St. Cyr

A WORD ABOUT VOLUME 2 This is the second of what will be five Chapter A Day journals. Each volume reads through the 260 chapters of the New Testament. That leaves 105 Old Testament chapters over the course of a year. Volume 1 provides an overview of the Old Testament by selecting 105 key chapters. Volume 2 focuses our Old Testament reading on the Poetical Books, which include Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon. Traditionally, these books have also been known as Wisdom Literature. Wisdom literature deals with how to live well. The opening verses in Proverbs (1:1-3) epitomize the purpose of Wisdom Literature:

The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity

Our journey through the Poetical Books is designed for us to know, understand and receive God’s wisdom in all of life. The book of Job deals with the problem of evil and the justice of God. Psalms is the hymnbook of Israel. These 150 poems give voice to every human emotion. They retell God’s faithfulness, express thanksgiving and contrition, anticipate the Messiah’s reign, call out to the Lord in lament, and magnify His attributes. Proverbs is made up of short, pithy sayings about how God designed the world to work. In it you see what practical godliness looks like. Ecclesiastes looks at life without God and leads us to the conclusion that life “under the sun” is vanity without a relationship with our loving and good God. Song of Solomon is a poetic picture in which Solomon and his bride give married couples practical ways to express love. When reading the Scriptures, understanding the context is key. That’s why sometimes it’s helpful to refer to a trusted resource. I recommend Warren Wiersbe’s book, “With the Word: The Chapter-by-Chapter Bible Handbook.”

Final encouragement: Don’t give up! The tendency is to start strong and then fade over time. We are largely the product of our choices. If you miss a day, simply pick up where you left off. Make the daily choice to say no to other pressing needs for the sake of your highest priority.

INTRODUCTION All of us are called by Jesus to “make disciples” (Matthew 28:19). The first person we are to disciple is ourselves. Jesus says, “A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher” (Luke 6:40). We are to be like our Teacher, Jesus. That happens as we spend time with Him.

A disciple of Jesus is someone who: • • •

Follows Jesus Is being changed by Jesus Is on mission with Jesus

We are changed by Jesus as we reflect upon God’s Word and receive what He is saying to us, and then respond in faith and obedience. Disciples grow by continually receiving and responding to the Lord.

RECEIVE and RESPOND. That’s the key to spiritual growth.

One of the problems is our lack of time with the Lord and His Word. That is about to change for you as you commit to spending daily time with Him!

There are two simple questions that help us receive and respond: To receive, we ask: What is God saying to me? To respond, we ask: What am I to do with what God is saying to me?

In your “A Chapter A Day” guide, you will find a simple structure that will help you become a self-feeder as you receive and respond. The structure has been adapted from Wayne Cordeiro’s book “The Divine Mentor” and is called the SOAP Devotional Method.

SOAP Devotional Method SC R I P T U R E Write out one verse from the chapter that spoke to you.

O B S E R VAT I O N (RECEIVE) Observe carefully what the verse says. Ponder the context, setting, its meaning, tone and purpose. Write down a few sentences or a paragraph. And most importantly, answer the question, “What is God saying to me?”

A P P L I C AT I O N (RESPOND) How does this verse apply to my life? What am I to do with what God is saying to me?

P R AY E R Finish your time in the Word with a personal prayer to God. It might be praise, confession, thanksgiving or intercession. Ask Him to help you apply what you have learned. As a family, we want to learn to pray together in agreement. You’ll find a prayer included every day in this journal so we can unite together in prayer.

HOW TO USE THIS JOURNAL Here are a few helpful suggestions on how to use your journal most effectively.

1. Set aside a specific time and quiet place to meet with God. You will need your Bible, this journal and a pen.

2. Receive and Respond using the SOAP method. Read each day’s Bible chapter. Write down the specific Scripture through which God is speaking to you. Receive by reflecting on that verse, asking, “What is God saying to me?” Respond by writing down your application, asking, “What is God asking me to do?”

3. Title the page. Take a moment to give today’s chapter a short title: one or two words that will help you remember your time with God’s Word.

4. Pray spontaneously. End your time with prayer. Talk to the Lord like you would a friend. Praise Him for His goodness, thank Him for things, and ask Him for that which is on your heart. You can keep a list of those for whom you’re praying in the back of this journal.

5. Pray together with your church. Join with our church family in praying that God would change us and use us.

Psalm 1 TITLE:

Meditating on God’s Word

DAY 1

DATE: 1/1/20

He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season; and its leaf does not wither, and in whatever he does, he prospers. Psalm 1:3

The result of meditating on God’s Word is that I will be like a firm tree: unmovable. Like the tree, my life will be refreshed and satisfied as by “streams of water.” God will bear fruit through me at the right season . Rather than withering as in a drought, the Lord will see that I prosper and flourish through His Word.

1 God’s Word is not al ways my delight. I fall short of daily meditation . God is asking me to prioritize time in the morning – before work – to read, reflect and work through the journal this year.

Lord, thank You for Your Word. You promise that my life will prosper as I meditate on Your Scriptures. Help me to be faithful to make this my priority this year. Amen . P R AY I N G T O G E T H E R Lord, You bless and watch over the righteous. May we delight in Your law and meditate on it so our hearts are transformed and we understand the blessing of obeying Your precepts. Make us a church that yields fruit and prospers Your Kingdom.
