Thankful Thursday
Today as you do your studies, I would like for you to think about what you are thankful for in relation to that study. I am finishing John today. I am so thankful that Jesus loved me and His Father enough to go through that terrible crucifixion. Dave said something to me the other day that really made me stop and think - how powerful the flesh is if Jesus, truly diety, was tempted by it. It seems love is stronger than even the power of the flesh.

Read Psamls 25-30
Ps 26 - David is SO confident of his relationship with the Lord. Since being a Christian I don't have the doubts any more of what God's plan is for me. But I don't see myself as confident as David in this psalm. I feel I have the humbleness to come to the throne - I need more boldness (Heb 4)
I enjoyed reading 29 - the voice of the Lord and its power. I remember also the 'still small voice' of the Lord (w/ Elijah). The Lord is definitely 'outside the box.'
I just caught up for the last few days.
Nothing to add regarding waiting on the Lord. Though I realize I do because I am so confident He is in charge. Things will work out for His plan. I don't know how I fit into it other than to do what I know He has taught me.
And that brings me to thankfulness. I went into last year's Bible reading to look for His plan. When I restarted it this year, I changed to looked for new discoveries. I am thankful that each day I see something new or get a better understanding. I am also glad we have the solved mystery. Makes some of the readings easier to understand.
so my study today focused mainly on the fact that God judges the heart (1 Sam 16).
I am thankful for the timing of this because I struggle continuously with the way I look and although I don't think it is wrong to want to look good and be healthy, I do think the emphasis needs to be kept in it's correct place. It is also a good reminder when looking at others--thankfully God judges the heart for me and for everyone else.
