I've decided along with my devotions to start re-reading the Word of God. It never ceases to amaze me that no matter how many times I read a passage that it is NEW to me. I always find something interesting that I haven't thought about before and it is good.
I read the story of Creation today and was so moved by the creation of man and man's first sin that I cried. I've never before read the Bible and felt the stories this way. I'm not sure why, I just wanted to share.
Also in my morning time with Beth I was struck by some verses in Isaiah 40 that particularly spoke to me:
Isaiah 40:27-28
Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel? "My way is hidden from the Lord and my just claim is passed over by my God." Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting GOd, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. There is no searching of His understanding.
I highlighted the part of verse 27 that speaks to me particularly--I have felt that way SO many times! Thinking to myself--Why oh WHY has God ignored my desires when I desire good things? Why does He not want me to have what I want? IT is good to remember that He is who He says He is and that He has heard me even if what I want is not what He does.
Amen! and p.s. I need a Bible with larger print--I'm blind as a bat!
