Mornin' Ya'll! I'm up early this mornin! Woke up at 4am, but didn't get up till 4:30. I've already done my devotionals, and Bible reading but was thinking about getting into my Ruth study before everything gets lively around here!
I love Bible studies. They make you think, and notice things, that you wouldn't normally notice. Like, take for instance, in my Ruth study, it compares Naomi with the prodigal son. Would you have ever thought to do that? I wouldn't have! Let me share where she goes with it.
"The driving force behind Naomi's choices to leave Bethlehem, and later Moab, was the same- a desire for physical nourishment. *The catalyst behind both journeys (Naomi's and the prodigal son's) seems to be governed by the physical and not the spiritual. On both occasions their physical circumstances and not necessarily the God of their circumstances dictated their decisions." Wow! Makes ya think, huh? Then, check out what I read this morning in my Daily Bible. Genesis 12:10 "Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to dwell there for the famine was severe in the land." I'm not saying that God didn't tell Abram to go there. (The Bible didn't say that He told him to, though.) And, Abram did get Sarai to lie about being his wife,and they did get kicked out of Egypt. But, what I am saying is that I would have never paid much attention to that before this study. Isn't it amazing? The more you read the Bible, the more you want to, the more you study, the more you want to and the many blessings of knowledge and understanding that are given to you for doing so!
You should have known by the title Wednesday's Wanderings (not wonderings) I'm not wondering about stuff ----- My mind is wandering!! ;)
Now! I've been wondering - or wandering - whichever you prefer, if any other ladies out there would like to start a blog too? I know I'd like to read some! C'mon! Just do it! Share with the rest of us! Pray about it. See what God thinks!
Love ya'll! See ya tonight!
