How am I using the breath that God has lent me? Do I use it to praise Him? Complain? Curse? Give thanks? Share His salvation?
This was before men had the entire Word of God—how blessed we are to not only have God’s Holy Spirit to guide, but also His Word to direct us to know His thoughts and understanding!
We have a level of fear and respect for the leaders of our country that keeps us from confronting them—but we have no problem with confronting God about our opinions in what He has allowed. Do we forget that He is far greater and the best of our wisdom is more foolish than the wisdom of God? Do we have no respect or fear of Him?
Have you been faithful to your New Year's Bible commitment?
If so, share something from what you've learned in the past week!
If not, it's not too late to pick it up and make new changes to your daily devotion time! If you need help with accountability, I'd be more than happy to help you. Just shoot me an email at amandaterobooks{at}gmail{dot}com
Keeping up so far.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely seeing the work of God's hand in setting up and taking down kings. I'm reading 2 Kings right now and the rulers have traded off quite a bit! I'm now in the reign of King Hezekiah.
Another thing I've seen is the intense consequences of idolatry. How often we turn the simplest things into stumbling blocks. Definitely something to be constantly aware of!
@ Ryana - wonderful! :) I decided to try to read the Bible through in a year (in addition to the morning reading that I do where I take it slower, journal thoughts, meditate). It's been a couple of years since I've done that. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love Hezekiah! :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I have seen both of those vividly in the OT as well.
