Day 113 7-13

I decided to do a blind pick of a passage to read today and it was a great refresher. I don't recommend doing that often because I think it is important to understand the contexts, concepts and themes of each book of the Bible as a whole and the general Bible as a whole as well. However, sometimes, when I feel a bit lost, scatter brained or wanting to stray a bit from my routine I'm in, I'll do a random Bible search and see where it leads me. 

I stopped in 1 Pet 1:13-25... 

So after reading the Word of God, I try to always ask myself, what did I learn about God from this? How did I get to know him better or understand him more. Most importantly, focusing on the fact that it's not about me, it's about Him.

I learned that God...

-shows grace

-is Holy

-calls me to be holy in all I do because He is

-judges each man's work impartially

-wants me to fear Him

-chose Jesus before the creation of the world and had this planned

-wants me to believe in Him through Jesus Christ

-raised Jesus from the dead and glorified Him

-is where my faith and hope lye

-allows us to be born again through the Word of God

-'s Word stands forever!

Prayers:

-Linds dad peace in surgery situation

-praise for great dinner with sister-in-laws
