This is going to be the last Daily Dose for about a month before we relaunch and rebrand in early August. I do want to encourage you to stay in the word and also enjoy the beauty of creation during these long, warm days of summer in the North.

 Wow, scripture really does a lot! Over the next month, I urge you to commit to continuing with daily engagement in the Bible. You may be thinking, "what part of the Bible should I read if I don't have the daily dose to help me? Is there a book that I'm supposed to read?" Here's a few preliminary steps for you to consider. One, you could pray and ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts. Maybe take an inventory of your history and imagination - of what part of the Bible you have some curiosity or longing associated with and maybe go there. Maybe talk with a spiritual friend for encouragement or confirmation and then make a decision and stick with it for a month. You really cannot go wrong in meeting God by reading the scriptures because all scripture is God-breathed and useful (so that you) the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
