I opened my Bible randomly before church today and came across Psalm 119:81-82 (NIV). It says, "My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word. My eyes fail looking for your promise; I say, 'When will you comfort me?'" All of these words pulled on my heart strings. I was convicted that I don't put my hope in the Word because I rarely read it on my own. I deeply long for and frequently pray for God's guidance, but I don't delve into the precious resource He's given us in the Bible. Even though I stake my life on key verses, I am often reminded that there is so much more to learn written on those pages. So I am setting forth on a renewed journey through the Scriptures. Though I'll make many stops along the way and I may get derailed at times, I've got a one way ticket from here to my final destination. All aboard!?

Makes my heart sing to see God at work in all His kids. "He who began a good work WILL complete it." (emphasis, Barb's :) We want to search out all the treasures and nuggets He's hidden in His Word for OUR enrichment. A verse in there says something about it being to a king's glory to hide a treasure, and to a man's to dig it up. I'd better go "dig" that one up to get it right... but that's the gist of it.
Anyway, we're on board, too!!
