So the song title goes.... I am currently reading through 1 Corinthians and also doing a Precepts study on covenant. Both of which have caused my mind to spin with thoughts and questions this week. I commented to my husband about how God's word makes you think sometimes, and his response to me was " I hope it makes you think all the time." So true, dear husband... So true. And as I thought about that, it made me wonder and tremble. Sometimes as I "sit at the feet of the Lord" and study his word, do I really study to think and grow, or do I do it only out of a sense of duty. I fear that too often, and once in a lifetime is too often, I find myself in the latter situation. Don't get me wrong, the duty of studying God's word is not bad in itself, but when it is the only reason the opening of His word happens, I am sure we miss out on the blessings God has in store for us. So that has led me to pray " Lord, may I love your Word, not out of a sense of duty only, but as I study, may the "duty" be surpassed by an even greater desire to know and fear the Lord." That is just where I am this day.....
On a different note... we begin our homeschooling next week. We are all very excited about the opportunity, and anxious to see how it all works when the rubber hits the road. Pray for all of us as we begin this new chapter.
