The Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to encourage the family of Four Mile Church to eat God's word on a more regular basis; to be nourished and fortified. Mile markers help you to know how far you have come and how much further you have to go. God's word is like a mile marker. My prayer is that this simple blogg helps you to partake in God's word and prayer on a more regular basis.



Please share your insights and revelations if you think they may encourage another brother or sister in Christ.

Day 10 - Surprise Guests

Objective - Intimate knowledge of Christ; with Him, like Him, for Him.

Scripture - Luke 1:26-56

Response - Read the passage slowly and try to engage as many of your senses as possible. If you feel you lack a sense of creativity and imagination, imagine a time such as a reunion with an old friend, Christmas morning, or a moment of revelation like learning how to ride a bike or accomplishing a hard task.

Place yourself in Mary's shoes. Think about her reaction, and feelings ( hopes and fears). Where do you find yourself dwelling? Ask God to reveal to you why you are dwelling on this? What message or lesson does God have for you


Give thanks to God that His word is living and active. Give thanks for Mary's obedience, and ask the Lord to help you be faithful like Mary.

Watch this video by Scott McKnight about Mary. I have posted this before, but thought it was pertinent.
