~Real Word~
Do what you do so well:get me out of this mess and up on my feet.
Put your ear to the ground and listen,give me space for salvation.
Be a guest room where I can retreat;
you said your door was always open!
You’re my salvation–my vast, granite fortress.
My God, free me from the grip of Wicked,
from the clutch of Bad and Bully.
You keep me going when times are tough–my bedrock, GOD, since my childhood.
I’ve hung on you from the day of my birth,
the day you took me from the cradle;
I’ll never run out of praise.
Many gasp in alarm when they see me,
but you take me in stride.
Just as each day brims with your beauty,
my mouth brims with praise.
Excerpted from Psalm 71 (THE MESSAGE)

Have you ever wanted to read the Bible, but struggled to know where to begin?
Did you know that only 3 out of 10 people say that they understand the Bible? And yet it is one of the most powerful books ever written. It has the power to change your perspective, and your life.
So, why don’t you read it with us? If you ever have questions about that day’s scriptures, drop a comment on Real Teen Faith and we’ll talk about it together. Deal?
You can read it online at studylight (or listen to it) or pick up a One Year Bible on amazon.com or at the bookstore. The cool thing about reading it online is that you can pick whatever version you choose. My favorite is The Message Bible.
So, why don’t you start today? Go to Studylight.org and you’ll find tons of helpful links, but my favorite is the One Year Bible Study.
