Did I tell you? I think not.
My wife and I are using the NASB for our Bible reading this year.
I cannot say enough about consistent reading of God’s word.
In my book “Living by the Words of God” I have my 4 R’s:
- Read
- wRite
- Reflect
- Respond
Just recently I have added another R:
- Refine
Back to the lab …
As with any “field testing” some adjustments will be made in our pursuit of God through his holy book the Bible.
So we learn it, take it to the practice field, work it out, and then back to sit before our Master for more lessons.
We don’t learn the ways and thoughts of God by merely study but by living these truths in the laboratory we call life.
- Hebrews 5:14 (NAS) But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
- Hebrews 5:14 (NIV84) But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
“Because of practice” … “by constant use” …
We study for direction but the cycle is not complete until we live the truth.
