beckra just returned from Maui...wow, such beauty and FUN!!

Read the entire Bible in a year (read all 5 entries…)
So far, so good 3 years ago

I’ve read a little each day, and I am current as far as my reading schedule goes! Yay! My mom convicted me (unknowingly) the other day. She was talking about how another family member wants to do all this inductive study, but just to be deep, not to really follow Jesus. And here’s where she convicted me:

Mom: “She (the family member) wants to study, but just to get knowledge. That doesn’t matter. You can have all the intellectual understanding, but that’s not what’s important. I read because I adore Him (Jesus).”

Wow. I read for different reasons- yes, I want to love God more. But recently, it’s been to keep myself from sin! I want to make sure that I read in adoration of Jesus, because He is worthy!



Comments:

Adoration vs. Intellectualism

A quick cheers to your goal. I’ve been working on this for a while now, and if anything, it just seems to be getting more and more difficult. I guess the Devil really steps it up when you make goals like this. I will persevere in Christ, though!
