I hope I can put my thoughts together as I share this with you.
Once upon a time. . .as I sat in my car before work on Friday.
I recently finished reading through Ezekiel in my “read through the Bible in a year” plan that I began on March 15, 2006. Just a slight detour, but I mention this because reading through the Bible with God is so important. Did you catch the “with God” part? This is not a classroom assignment; you don’t have to finish in a year. In fact, often God messes up your schedule as he draws you to places of thought and meditation, points of interest and concern that speak specifically to you and times of worship.
For instance, I may plan on reading 2 Peter in its entirety and God will interrupt my progress by riveting my mind on the
“entrance into the eternal kingdom” spoken of in 1.11.
(2 Peter 1:11 ESV) For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Doesn’t he realize I have a schedule to keep?
Is this entrance on Earth? I haven’t thought of it in this way before but once we have arrived, it seems that everything will be glorious.
To be continued sometime after church today. . .
