Here are my answers for today. There were a few I was a bit foggy on, but I think that is just me and my day.... :)
- The shield represents faith. - It is to extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one. - I thought this was interesting that it is used to extinguish the arrows, not just protect us by having them bounce off the shield. -Fear present in the lives of no faith/fear is absent in the lives of those with faith. -Elisha's servent thought God's people were surrounded and outnumbered. -Elisha said "Don't be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." -God opened the servents eyes -The servent saw all of the chariots of fire - Gods army, unseen by humans and esepcially the enemy -Thousands and thousands in the army -"It is the Sovereign Lord who helps me. Who is he that will condemn me?" -"If God is for us, who can be against us?" -Jesus went to his hometown -His own people took offense to him. -"Only in his hometown, amoung relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." -Lack of faith caused few miracles and Jesus was amazed at their lack of faith. -What has hindered me most?? I woud say both fear and familiarity. Fear of not getting through my day and keeping up with all my worldly demands, and then in turn relying on my own familiarity with the Bible and God to hold me over on days when I really should be studying first and doing everything else second.
ahhh...done for today. I pretty much got the same answers as Brooke. The differences are: I was confused if the people in the hills in chariots of fire were the people for Elisha or if those were the people he led to Samaria?? My last question is that both fear and familiarity sometimes hinder me--fear in the sense that sometimes I think unbelievers are going to think I'm crazy or I have heard many times that Christians don't see the real world and don't know the struggles of the real world. Familiarity in the sense that sometimes I forget how blessed I am and how many times God has answered my prayers and calmed my heart.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness...

Done for yesterday. Still playing catch-up.
I went ahead and finished todays too, so I'm all caught up.
This is FRIDAY now...done for today (I have a busy day ahead of me...must get going!)

God is faithful and true, so I will be faithful right back!
