Amazing isn’t it how we find them just as we need them too.

For years I have purchased Bible studies that feature thought-provoking questions, to challenge my intellect and spirit. i agree with Stacy below. I approach Bible study with eager anticipation of what I will discover that day!

I have seen Kay Arthur’s method and it too is wonderful. I am so glad you mentioned it. I will need to get that out and try it again. Thanks for stopping by today

I find this tool so beneficial to help me slow down and absorb what I am reading with not just my mind, but my heart. I know for certain I will never be able to keep up the a rule that involves ‘daily” but can if the pressure it off and I do something regularly. If I start to slip though I know I need to return to what is tried and true for me. Blessings on your week!

You ask about the other image from Sunday. That is a small bible. I think creating the photos to go along with the blogs – when I take the time to do them – are as much fun as the writing. Thanks for stopping by!

Right now I am using the inductive study method developed by Kay Arthur. I’m finding that I am learning more about the Word than ever before and I am hungry for it….it’s like a mystery that I can’t wait to find the next clue in. I’m also remembering more.

We are covering Lectio Divina with our new candidates for the church. It’s a great way to get to know Scripture, and make a connection with it. Reading bible passages is great, but it’s the application that is always the challenge for me.

After all, the bible isn’t not just a fun book to read. I think telling people not to give up is key. I appreciated your advice there. We’re not perfect, and it doesn’t always seem to ‘pay off’ in prayer, but not giving up will help us dig deeper.
Blessings 🙂
Ceil

Not to mention the appetizing image!
