Bible in Six Months Update
10:05 AMI am now caught up with the rest of my fellow Bible-in-six-months buddies! I can’t believe that I am already in the middle of Psalms and halfway through this challenge. Time just seems to be flying by right now for many reasons, and my Bible time has been such a blessing that it hasn’t been a challenge at all.
One of the things that I have enjoyed most about reading through the book of Psalms is seeing all my old notes. I have turned so many times to the book of Psalms for help, encouragement, and expression for what I am feeling that I have marked it more than any other book. So many times I have found a verse and a note about what it meant to me, and I am blessed.
Sometimes, my notes make me grateful for how far God has brought me. Sometimes I wonder how I could have forgotten that verse because of its impact on me. Sometimes (I blush to admit it) I wonder what I found in that verse at the time or what the note I left really means.
I don’t know what I will take away most from this challenge in the end, but I do know what I will take away from the book of Psalms; God showed me those verses when I needed them and spoke to me through them. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

I have found the Bible truly to be His l-i-v-i-n-g Word... and that means you will always find Him speaking to you in your here and now through His Word. I've had the same thing happen... will come across a note a year or more later and not be exactly sure why I wrote it.
ReplyDeletePsalms is such a great book. After I read it I went on to Proverbs- my favorite book. There's so many great verses encouraging to young ladies that are striving to be Goldy women, and someday a Godly wife.
ReplyDeleteThans for sharing! Goodluck with your challenge.
