I spent the month of December focusing on studying the Bible. I've always had pretty consistent devotional time simply reading the Bible and praying. I've attended Bible studies or have purchased my own, but have rarely taken the time to study a book of the Bible on my own. And so I set out to read How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth. I highly recommend this book... what an easy-to-read and practical book! I think all Christians should read it and I can almost guarantee that it will change the way you read your Bible :)
I was challenged to not simply read the Bible to see what I could learn from it and what it would add to my devotions, but to see what God intended the original audience to hear. What was the point for them? And how should that change the point for me?
I want to continue reading through and studying a book of the Bible and making sure that I'm consistently applying healthy hermeneutical principles when reading.
As for January, I'm diving into a month of confession. I hope to get shocked by the sin in my life and refuse to be complacent. I hope to learn tons of humility as I confess it to other humans and I'm ready to experience God's grace in big ways.
Love you, ladies!
