i read Luke 4 this morning. i made a decision that i would read whatever i opened up to, and that's where i landed.
every time before this when i've read this passage about the temptation of Jesus, i've just been amazed at how well Jesus knew the Scriptures. today, it either hit me harder or in a different way or something.
you see, it's been kind of a dry spell between me and the Word. God's been gently working in me for a week or so. first, He took me to James 1. i relearned that when you doubt God, His Word, and His timing, you are tossed about like waves in the sea. that's what i've felt like for a while now, and frankly, i'm getting tired of it...not just tired of it, but tired in general.
and then He took me to Luke this morning - and lovingly retaught the lesson of how incredibly important it is to know the Word and have it hidden away in your heart to fight the enemy.
how amazing is it that the God we serve keeps reteaching those lessons that we always seem to forget?
