This is really my Bible (in case you were wondering). Perhaps a better title for this post would have been something like, "Wheeeww, thank you Lord, I am free at last!" I know some things don't seem ok to say, but I am firm believer in the fact that the Lord knows my heart and can sometimes use my shortcomings to help others.
Most of what I learned happens to coincide with this month's fruit... for those who don't know, I am an avid lover of Galations 5:22-23:
"but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
a long time ago I decided to pick a "fruit of the month" and really pray about it for an entire month. It should be noted, rather humorously I might add, the last one I prayed about was patience-- I'm still waiting. This month's fruit was self-control, or self-discipline. The good Lord tested my self-discipline this month by making sure I committed to the commitment of finishing this book. I will say that Old Testament customs are quite different, but it gives a great basis to understand what will happen next.
After all, who can really understand where they're going without fully understanding where they've been??? Plus, those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it.
