Wow! It’s so hard to believe that we have been walking through God’s Word together for almost a year now!! We have seen God as Creator, Promise Keeper, Sustainer, El Roi, Redeemer, Savior, Rescuer. We saw him stoop down from heaven to meet men and women who were broken, rejected, in chains, rich and poor. Men and women like me and you.

During my really hard seasons of life, there were many nights I would sleep with my Bible beside me so I could just reach my hand out in the middle of the night and touch it and remember that God’s Word is with me, God Himself will never leave me and God has made promises to me I can rely on. I just needed to know He was near. And He always was and He always will be.

I pray God’s Word gives you the same sense of comfort that God is near and calling you to Himself. I pray this year you have fallen more in love with the God who gave us His personal love letter to us called the Bible.

Today I want to summarize our last year together with a few verses I've highlighted to give us an overview of where we have traveled through the Old Testament. I will post these on my website so you can find them easily there, as well. Just check it out at www.ksizemore.com and click on “resources.”

Go today and be encouraged, God IS with you.

“This is the end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13 - 14 ESV

The cure to a meaningless life is to fear God. Emptiness can be more than filled with a God who is big enough to surround the whole earth. Yes, He can fill our deepest caverns. So the solution to vanity and sin and selfishness is to fear God.

Live your life with one conclusion – there is no purpose apart from God.

You will never be whole or full, you will never have a meaningful life full of peace, apart from God. We are designed by God to live in relationship with our Creator and everything is meaningless that fades away. Only what lasts is what matters.

Are you living in purpose, realizing your whole fullness? Are you finding true joy and fulfillment in your daily work? If you’re asking, what’s the point, I pray you find your purpose.

Let me know how I can pray for you as you journey to finding your true purpose. I would love to join you on that journey! You can connect with me on social media or through my website, ksizemore.com.

“But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this house that I have built!” 2 Chronicles 6:18 (ESV)

After almost a year of working through the Old Testament together, one of my favorite things about the Lord is how very present He is. He didn’t create the world and people and then leave them, but He is actively involved, still creating, still remaining close, still dwelling among His people. Not only does God want to dwell WITH us, but He wants to dwell IN us. We are the very tabernacle of the Holy God. Are you building a home worthy for the Lord to live in?
