How to join me in my study
I am reading through the Bible in a year, a portion of the Old and New Testaments every day. If you choose to read from the same plan, you will have the context for my postings. Request an electronic copy of the plan by emailing me.
God nourishes His people through His word. As I read the passage and use observation skills that I have learned through the years, God gives me nuggets of truth that restore my soul, make me wise, rejoice my heart, and enlighten my eyes, just as He promises He will do in Psalm 19.
I love to share those nuggets of truth with other women, especially those who are also reading the Word and seeking the same kind of spiritual nourishment.
My style of communication will be to lead you in the same path of observation that led me to discovery. I will post questions that will help you to observe and understand the Scriptures. My questions will not cover all of the Scripture reading you are doing. My postings will be in order, but they will not be exhaustive. They will serve to encourage you to keep reading and studying, learning to feed yourself from the Word of God.
There is much work on your part...you are to be a woman who is regularly reading the Scriptures. May God bless you in your desire to grow in your understanding of truth, your love for Him and for others, and your obedience to His word.
