Good Thursday morning! The nice spring days and their associated thunderstorms have arrived. We had a good rain last night with just a bit of hail mixed in. Last night marked the final Bible study for this session, about eight months worth of Wednesday evening meetings to study God's word together and in depth. Last night we shared what the book of Philippians meant to each of us. What a wonderful sharing experience in Christ! If you are not part of an in-depth Bible study, I highly recommend finding one. Our group follows the school year, others go all year or even just for a season. I think it is good to have a break; Bible study is mentally challenging. I have yet to find a book with more spiritual depth, personal meaning, complexity, and history as the 66 individual books that make up our Bible. The great thing is that in all its complexity it comes down to one simple thing - believe in Christ Jesus! When we believe, amazing vistas open up in the Bible that only come from the revelation of the Holy Spirit.
Discovery is a fun thing. Many folks feel the urge to discover, whether it is the archaeologist looking for old treasures, the scientist looking for the secrets of creation, or you and I looking for some revelation on a show or in a novel, we like to discover something. How many haven't felt the lure of discovering a treasure trove hidden somewhere? The Bible contains a rich treasure, if we will take the time to search the scriptures.
Have a wonderful Thursday; trust in God!
