The Bible - it's a big book when you're looking through it for something written specifically to and for you.
The Bible Draft is a fun and creative way to connect your experiences, thoughts, and feelings directly to the words of Scripture. Played similar to the format of a fantasy football league with the commeraderie among players in your league, the creativity of team names, and the personalization of Scripture passages just for you, the Bible Draft is a worthwhile challenge for those who have never opened the Bible before as well as for anyone else at any stage in the journey.

Reflection Spotlight
Rooted in Truth
| Psalms 1:2-3 | |
|---|---|
| 2 | Rather, the law of the Lord is his joy; and on his law he meditates day and night. |
| 3 | He is like a tree planted near streams of water, that yields its fruit in season; Its leaves never wither; whatever he does prospers. |
As I'm going through these readings I'm reminded that there is a big difference between meditating on the bible vs. just reading the bible. Sometimes I think whenever I read the bible, or skim over scripture, that I'm absorbing deep concepts and things of God however, that's really not the case. That's what I'm really enjoying about these reflections, it's causing me to slow down, think about what I'm reading and dig my roots deeper into the soil of God's word. I've been asking God to speak to me as I read the bible and reveal how I should apply it to my life. I want to be firmly planted in God's truth, weather the season I'm in and be fruit bearing. Just like the tree's roots continue to drink water in order for the tree to stay alive and not wither, I need to stay connected to God and find sustenance in his word in order to fully prosper.
