Staying on the Theme of Fire…
This past week and into this week I have been studying Exodus 33 and the glory of the Lord. I am now working my way through some references on the glory of the Lord and find myself in Leviticus 9 and 10. In the verses ending Chapter 9 and beginning Chapter 10 there are some thoughts I wanted to put…

Finished
I wish I had put down the date I had first started my study of Psalm 119. But, today I finished. It wasn’t any scholarly work, but a devotional journey that deepened my hunger for the Word. I kept my notes in a comp book and ended up with over 300 pages of notes. It has been an incredible personal…

Hunger I have been on a wonderful journey through Psalm 119. The entire Psalm is about the Word of God. Over and over the psalmist “gushes” with delight at the Law.

The challenge of the Word I returned to an earlier practice of praying through Scripture. Finished with Romans and not knowing where else to turn, I began again my prayer walk through the Word, beginning with Luke. Praying through the Scripture is a tough challenge. It’s not always about praying for victory. It’s about allowing the Spirit to open up…

The Big DUH I study and I study. I read a passage and read again…and through the years… and then…DUH. Everyone else probably gets this, but I just have these moments and Romans 12 provided it tonight. I have been immersed in Romans for a few weeks and thoroughly enjoying it. I have a picture of Karl Barth on my…
