What I love about it &#8211; and what I think makes it unique is it is all Bible &#8211; no interpretation by anyone else.  So, it&#8217;s up to me to internalize it as the Spirit moves &#8211; and moves He does!  Each day there are two sections &#8211; morning and evening.  There is a theme to the verses &#8211; but they are all run together in two or three paragraphs so it &#8216;reads&#8217; very easily.  This mornings was a definite keeper for me!

I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. ~ This is God, our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even to death.<\/p>\n<p>Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you. ~ Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on.
