A word of encouragement for everyone on the Bible reading journey. With summer upon us it is easy to get out of the habit of daily connecting with God. We can also err by reading out of duty and not love. Work hard to balance these two opposites.
Here is a warning Jesus gave the Bible readers of his day... John 5:39 You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me.
Our reading of scripture is motivated by our passion to know Jesus better... it is about knowing Him.
So as you read today ask yourself this question, “What is our passage teaching me about Jesus and my relationship with him?”
Three insights today:
1. God has a very precise view of what is right and wrong. Make sure to believe in the God who is revealed not the God we feel.
2. God is incredibly merciful. Even the wicked Ahab received mercy and grace from God. There is hope for everyone.
3. Beware of envy. Learn to live with contentment. All we need has been given to us.
God bless you have a great weekend.
