Psalm 73:26

I am encouraged by this verse – even when I am weak – He is strong!

It has been such a blessing to post verses on Year 27 each day. God continually shows me verses that challenge and teach me. I can’t help but think about the Ehty people of South Asia and how we are helping to translate the Bible (verse by verse) into their own heart language. I’m excited about how God is going to show the Ehty people verses that will challenge and teach them!

More than just reading a new verse every day, Year 27 is a blog where you can get involved!

Silent Sunday

For the Ehty people of South Asia, Silent Sunday happens more often than just Sunday – it’s every other day, too. At YEAR 27, we’re going to change that – we are working to translate God’s Word into their own heart language so that every day is a day where they can hear and read about God’s heart and character.

Join me in this effort – just $26 will translate one verse of scripture and 879 verses (our goal at YEAR 27) will translate the equivalent of the book of John into the Ehty heart language. If you are interested in sponsoring a verse right now, or want to learn more about this goal, click here.

Genesis 1:1

True, this verse may be the most well-known verse in the Bible besides John 3:16. It has taken on new meaning to me over this past week. My grandfather is in hospice care and not expected to make it much longer. It’s been a weird week, but the devotional that I have been going through centered on the comfort yesterday. Have you ever looked to Genesis 1 for comfort? For me, there is encouragement in knowing that I can depend on God as my source of comfort during difficult times – He knows His creation intimately because He is the Creator! More than just a Creator, He is in control. He’s got this – He knows me and my emotions better than anyone else.

A recent update from the Ehty translators informed me that they are beginning the translation of Genesis! This is exciting because it means that the Ehty people will get to know God as the Creator of the universe! Join me in supporting these translation efforts by praying for the translators and by giving financially. One verse = $26 and $26 could change a life!
