My husband and I recently enrolled in a Bible Institute in Long Island. We drive almost 4 hours once a month to spend a weekend in classes, studying the Word. And it is definitely worth the travel, time and financial commitment. The more we study, the more we are aware of the power in the Word of God. It seeps into the deepest part of our hearts, bringing change, renewal, and strength. The Word covers us with protection. Fills us with joy. Convicts us of sin. Offers us grace. The more we read it, memorize it, study it, the more alive it is in our lives.
I challenge you this week to spend some time every day reading your Bible. Allow God to speak to you. You may be surprised what a difference it makes in your week. And on a side note, even your writing will be better because of it!
Please share one of your favorite scriptures in a comment.
Psalm 42:1-9 is one of my favorites both as a song and as an expression of my longing for my Savior; “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” When we can desire God in our hearts in this way, He in turn will bless us with the desires of our hearts. DL

Dwayne,
I pray God brings us back to our first love, where Jesus is our focus and our priority. That is what this scripture reminds me of…

Ps 91. It gives me such comfort when things are tough.

What a wonderful thing for a couple to do together!
My favorite verse is Ephesians 2:10 – It gives purpose, meaning and a sense of adventure to every single day.

Jan,
My husband and I met in college so it is fun to be in class together again, but this time we’re studying what’s really important! Thanks for sharing your verse. I had to go look it up and it is something I needed to be reminded of today. God bless!
