Persevering in trials- and what I could have missed
Today the day where I have a meeting that will determine the ultimate status of my job- on top of our second miscarriage and our landlord kicking us out in August so he can sell the property.
It would be tempting to have just despaired and sat- but by God's grace I continued my daily Bible reading- and was rewarded in the greatest way possible.
My daily Bible reading plan for the NT took me to John 6:22-59. Wow such theological richness and depth. I started my bible reading at early 7AM and finished at 9AM. The vast majority of the time was that John reading on those verses. How? Highlighting and chewing and reflecting on them. And if that wasn't enough I had R.C. Sproul's commentary on them from my Reformation Study Bible. Read those passages and slowly chew on it- if you don't have a biblically solid commentary on those verses read Matthew Henry's commentary online for free- slowly. The verses will transform you.
