Thank you so much for sharing that insight! I love that I can genuinely find something new every time I read a book/passage, whether it’s the first time or the 50th. Love you!
Hey sweet Emily! I’ve been “under the radar” when it comes to responding to posts lately, but I sure enjoy yours. I am currently trying to read the Bible through in a year through the group, Front Porch Fellowship. I will finish the books of Amos and Obadiah tomorrow and then start Jonah. The thing that has troubled me at times in my journey through the Old Testament is the sheer disregard for God’s precepts by His chosen people, time after time after time. As I was driving to work the other morning, it occurred to me that if God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then He still hates sin as much as He did when His own people were disobedient and callous and suffering from their sins. How like those people we are! Reading God’s word every day has provided enlightenment as well as comfort to me as I try to navigate these waters of getting older🤣. I’m looking forward to finishing these final few books of the OT and moving into the NT. Love you!
