My nephew was talking about his excitement to get the new ESV study bible. I joined his excitement and my mom caught wind and got it for me for my birthday. Mom made arrangements for me to pick it up in Guelph. My only trouble was getting there during store hours. I phoned a friend out of the blue on Saturday and he was standing in the store. I asked if he could pass his phone to the clerk. I explained that my buddy would pickup the bible for me. He brought it to church on Sunday. I love it when a plan (non plan) comes together.I cracked it open last night and its a beauty. I am excited to read it again and told my wife that I am going to read every night before bed. Sounds like a new years resolution doesnt it? Is it merely wishful thinking? ....empty promise?.....I hope not. I really think I need to read this book again. Its been a year since read this book with committment.....and frankly...I miss it.
Thank You Lord God for Your Word and how it breathes life into my soul. Lord teach my heart and my mind and my spirit to live by Your Word. Lord God would You write it on my heart and cause me to share it with others. IN Your Holy Name I pray. amen
I love a good book, or in this case, THE good book...
ReplyDeleteLet me help you crease the spine…
Try to forget everything you’ve ever learned about God, Jesus and the bible and try (if possible and with the help of the Holy Spirit in you) to read this as if for the first time. I always find as I read that there are a thousand questions that pop into my
mind when I read the bible and pop out just as quickly which I wish I’d have remembered. It
helps to have a note pad close by to jot them down.
Ezekiel 37
Jeremiah chapters 30 & 31 (the new covenant)
Daniel 9 (the new covenant and the 70 week prophecy)
Matthew 10:5-7
John 7:35
James 1:1
