Reading The Word With Peter

DSCF0925 DSCF0922

Once a week, if he isn’t busy, Peter and I get together at our favorite stomping grounds, Holy Cross Coffee Shop, to read the Word. Right now we’re reading in the Gospel of John. We read through a small portion, study it, and discuss it. Let me tell you, each time I come with an open heart to receive whatever the Bible has, to really look into the scriptures, I find God’s word burning within me! Many times coming to the study, I find myself tired and sometimes not feeling in the mood for Bible Study, but when we dig in deep, what zeal and passion arises from discussing these written words! If I am willing, my attitude changes, and I see real changes in my actions, as well! Oh, that I would spend such time every day, looking into the word, really seeking to find the treasures of wisdom that change my life!

“My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, And find the knowledge of God.”

Proverbs 2:1-5.
