A Beginning

I have been contemplating this for some time.  I am hopeful that my thoughts or my interactions with
my Lord and Saviour will be 'edifying' to those that read them.  I am also hopeful that this format (activity) will help me to be more disciplined in my daily journaling of God's Word.

My first journal entry is on a reading of Titus 1-3.  My verse is 2:12 "It (God's Word) has trained us to reject all ungodliness and worldly desires, to live discreet, upright, devout lives in this present world."

Thought:  I like this idea that God's word is  "training" my mind.  This makes it so necessary that I spend much time in the word - reading and studying - so that my mind will be trained in His Way! As I continue to grow in my spiritual walk with my Lord I am able to see growth and that is exciting.  I do not want to be satisfied with status quo - but to be ever changing and growing as the Lord meets me where I am and brings me along His pathway.  II Corinthians 3:18 tells me whenever a person turns to Christ they ". . . are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another . . ." Hard to apply such a thing to myself but there it is.  Immersing myself in His word is key.

 This blog will I hope be a help towards that end.
