The college/career discussion group on Wednesday nights has been very encouraging. Last night they threw a surprise party for Bobby's birthday. I missed the surprise because Bobby went to the wrong building without me, but he was surprised!
In the group we are discussing what it means to draw out meaning from the Word of God. We are studying Matthew 5, 6 and 7. I thought I'd give you an example from our discussion:
It started with Bobby reading until someone stopped him. They asked, "what does meek mean?" We pulled out a dictionary. The definition of meek is: characterized by patience and long suffering. Others gave examples of how they defined meek. Then one confessed how they struggle with pride and how the pride in them is the opposite of being meek and humble.
I wanted to share this example with y'all to encourage you to seek deeper meaning out of the words in the Bible. Every word is precious and full of life. Hebrews 4:12 says, "For the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
We are praying for you all in your journeys! Thank you for all of your prayers and support for us! We appreciate you guys!
Blessings,
Stacy
