Took this photo recently at sunset, I love walking by the barn when the animals are eating, they are so quiet,except for the munching and crunching.~smile~
~Expounding on memorization of scripture~
This has been life changing for me.
One of the most amazing things about memorizing scripture, and researching them, is, its begins to sink way down into our spirit man, causing us to search even more, Case in point, One of our recent memory verses was short and straight to the point. Proverbs 7:2~ Keep my commands and live; and My law as the apple of your eye. ~sela~Notice commands is plural, law is singular, We decided to run reference on law, which we thought we already knew, Luke 10:27~ So he answered and said, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." A very familiar verse to us, we decided to add this to our memorization book.
We study even further, going up a few verses to see who is quoting this, it was a lawyer who had asked Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Where upon Jesus answered him by asking him a question, (Jesus did this a lot, I believe to cause us to come face to face with our own self)
Luke 10:26"What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?"
After the lawyer quoted from the Old Testament, Jesus sums it up for the him, Luke 10:28~ and he said to him, "You have answered rightly, do this and you will live."
I love how Jesus always responds in a way that causes each of us to think and evaluate our lives. I know I do each and every time I open the Living Word.
May your day be filled with many blessings,
Sue
