Glad to know that there are still people out there who knows and understands the value of the word of God. I am and I always will be fascinated by the person who wrote Psalm 119 who had this amazing love for God’s word, statutes, laws, decrees, testimonies etc.

God bless you for this article.

Isn't it just like our great God to reveal something much bigger than what goes in my "tummy?" First, when I looked at this post, I thought, "So I'm not the only one..." This lack of the desire to really read God's Word has concerned me, and I have been praying about it a lot. I know God hears...those prayers are in accordance with His will...this post sure made me think. I'm adding it to my favorites! During dry times like this, it's so easy for me just to choose not to read. That's definitely not going to help matters, so even though I am quite disinterested, I still read each day. but I feel guilty as ever when I read it and become as bored as I did in last semester's college chemistry lab! However, I know that guilt is just the thing to drive me away from God, and I will not allow Satan a stronghold...your post is extremely helpful! This leads into my second substantial thought regarding your site. I was just looking at your testimony and I realized something I have thought about before, but this time I took off with the thought and didn't dismiss it as I usually do. I think that, as Christians, it's easy to get caught up in this "Christian" life that our initial zeal wears off. I think sometimes we forget where we started out. It's like we go through life as usual but forget our freedom in Christ. I guess all I'm saying is that IMO, why not become reacquainted with who we were and the creations God is forming in us. I think that helps to put things in proper perspective. When we first became Christians, we couldn't contain our excitement and the real freedom we obtained...nothing else mattered. Let's face it: it's so easy for circumstances to shift our perceptions of everything, even just a little. Example: Sometimes my thoughts about one of my medical conditions go something like, "I can't stand this pain anymore...and I have another fifty years of this?" Then, when I'm trained on God, those same thoughts are something like, "This pain is only imprisoned in my body for a time, but God has one this battle, too." See the difference? I figure it's all about focus, and to remove the sometimes monotonous actions of this "Christian life," I look through Biblical passages and read the basics: Romans 3:23, 5:8, 8:28; John 3:16; 1 John 1:9, etc.) I know that sounds quite elementary, but it's a great reminder to retrain my thoughts on Him. So instead of worrying obsessively about the lifespan psychology final, why not think Philippians 2...and remember that the psych exam isn't my entire life, but that Jesus IS Lord of my life. Wow...I'm sure you didn't want a novel; this is the stuff that goes in my blog...and btw, I'm going to link to you so others can find needed reminders, joy or encouragement just by clicking. Thanks for posting such great stuff!...much shalom, and God's blessings! I’ve been looking at your site…actually, I stumbled upon it looking for recipes!
