It usually takes better than a hour as we discuss the meaning and implications of the Bible passages he is supposed to teach. There is nothing in this world that makes me feel more alive than teaching the Word. It stirs up all those years of study that my heart ensures my mind doesn't forget. It comes to life afresh in my soul and I gain new insights for myself.
Yeah, reading the Bible always gives me peace and joy. I have not been at it like I used to, but a welling up of my spirit has been nudging me back. I want to study from beginning to end about 'Faith'. Every verse and ponder each and write what I find in my heart to be its meaning. And keep going until I am done, learning afresh what Faith really means. To me. I have a feeling it will be a lengthy but meaningful journey. I just want to know what Faith is to me so I can best understand it. It is something I am being impressed to do, so I begin tomorrow. Pray the Lord's Spirit will be my guide and give me the wisdom to understand.
