Abide in God’s Love
7 Days of RADICAL Blessings
A Daily Bible Reading Challenge
- Do you need a RADICAL CHANGE in your life?
- Has your prayer time gotten ho-hum?
- Do you feel you are not seeing God’s blessings?
Give yourself the gift of these 7 days to see the blessings God has waiting to give you.
- Do you sometimes feel like you are going through the motions of life?
- Are you craving a stronger sense of security and peace for the future?
- Is your desire to glorify God, but you are wondering if there is more?
I desire all of these, yet over the last few months, I couldn’t shake the feeling like something was missing.
I’ve been dealing with some tough stuff in my life over the last year, and to be honest I’m not proud of the way I’ve handled some of these situations. Our family has dealt with beyond-the-beyond parenting, challenging ministry situations, caring for aging parents, and marriage issues.
I wish I could say that with God’s help, through all these I have prayed, studied my Scripture, and held it all together.
Quite frankly, I haven’t.
I needed RADICAL CHANGE. Something had to shift.
7 Days of Radical Blessings
During my Bible study time, I started digging into John chapter 15, and I was amazed as I discovered what is in this section of scripture, even though I had read it many times before.
When we Abide in God’s Love, God promises blessing after blessing for us.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15:4-5
This isn’t a magic formula or some type of quick fix. This is the blessings that happen from studying God’s word and resting in Him.
God might not fix my life circumstances. He might change me instead.
What I absolutely love about it is that God promises to do the work when we do the abiding. In other words, we just need to show up.

I would love to share with you what I have learned! I’m so excited about all I now understand about this RADICAL LIFE CHANGE that happens when we stay connected with God. Will you join me, and will you please invite a few friends? I know I am more likely to stick to a commitment when I have friends supporting me.
Abide in God’s Love
Will you commit to reading a short Bible passage each day for 7 days?
I don’t know about you, but I sure need this. Let’s do it together and see what God manifests in our lives.
This will only take about 15 minutes at the start of each day (you can spend more if you want, of course), but I absolutely believe you will see RADICAL CHANGE from abiding in God’s Word. Jesus promises it!
7 Days of Commitment
However, I will say this, and it’s important.
This is a commitment. Change doesn’t happen from doing nothing. You can’t click through this with a sideways glance and expect RADICAL CHANGE to happen. Commit to the daily Bible readings. (They are not long, but they are valuable.) Commit to time spent in prayer and pondering what God is telling you. Commit to watching for what God is working in your life.
Each day, I will post a daily Bible reading, daily printables (or save as photos on your smartphone), and a short devotion.
Bonus! I have created free downloadable phone wallpapers too so you will be continually reminded of your commitment each time you pick up your phone. (I’m already using mine and they are so pretty!)
The RADICAL Blessings to Expect
Every day we will explore a different blessing available when we abide in God’s love through reading the Bible. We will discuss what we are reading in comments on the blog and social media, too.
I absolutely believe God will pour His blessings upon us when we dig into his Word during this challenge!
I can’t wait to see how God blesses our time of growing closer to Him!

The links aren’t working for me, do you have a suggestion?
Hi Linda, I’m not exactly sure why the links aren’t working for you. I just tried several and they are all working for me. Perhaps try in a different browser? Blessings.
Well, I’m late to the party, but I’ll sign up anyway! Not sure if it will work better to play “catch up” or just to start with Day 1 tomorrow, since it’s almost over, but I look forward to reading what you have to say! Be blessed!
You are always welcome to join in! We are just today on Day 3 of the Bible readings, so you have plenty of time to be a part of it. The devotions are up on the website for you to go back and read anytime.
