God Made Moms to Teach Their Children...Things of the Bible

Do you remember all that you were taught as a child? Do you remember all the things of the bible you were taught in Sunday School? It's amazing how so many things come back to memory when your doing an adult study. Rediscovering and understanding the foundation of what you believe. Your first real taste of getting to know God in all HIS wisdom. For all of you bible readers, most of you already know the stories and testimonies of the new testament actually piggy back off of the old testament. Most of my adult life, I have said I wasn't able to read or get into the old testament because it was so boring to me. Well I think differently now. I was challenged by my supervisor to read the bible in it's entirety and I'm proud to say by the end of the year, I will have read the whole bible - in less than a year I might add. What's interesting, I wasn't bored reading the old testament or the entire bible, it just reminded me of all the bible stories I heard as a child. I think the difference is now that I'm reading it wanting to walk away with something. I'm seeking understanding and directions to God. Friends, I'm renewing my mind. I'm being transformed because of the renewing of my mind. I'm walking in wisdom and a new understanding of HIM. I am now understanding the purpose of the Psalms and the Proverbs. I am now understanding the eight beatitudes of Jesus and why he spoke in parables. I have now discovered the inner strengthen and obedience of Ruth and Esther and the rewards of being a woman who listens. I now understand Solomon's blessings of wisdom and wealth. I also now understand David's favor and his legacy. I'm studying the things of the bible to show myself approved, so I won't be foolish enough to walk in untruth. I am building a everlasting relationship with the Creator. A relationship that started as a child when I was first introduced to things of the bible.

Be blessed and encouraged today, it's a choice.~Delphine
