This post is part of my ongoing series of writing down my thoughts on the Bible passages I read each day. Some days I hope to have great insight that the Lord gives me, and many days, I will likely struggle through the text and not know what to write down based on what I read. My hope and prayer is that as I make this a habit, just as I did daily writing for so long, that I will improve on my ability to read and understand the passages I’m reading. Please keep in mind that many of these posts may be published late at night or with little time studying and simply be my first thoughts after reading. This is in no way a commentary that one should use to discern the Bible, but my own personal thoughts.
I want this series to be as honest as possible for those who may have never read the Bible before. So I want to be realistic in what I post. If I’m honest, I didn’t get a good quiet time in this morning, but I didn’t want to go to bed before having it, so I read my chapters after getting home tonight. Which I believe is better than completely skipping over it, but I think it definitely had its effects.
As I was reading, most of it went over my head this evening. I couldn’t really comprehend what I was looking at. There was a lot more talk of “why have you done this God.” But I couldn’t get specifics…and that’s okay. My hope is that as I once again make scripture reading a habit and part of my everyday rhythm, I will be able to comprehend more and more because I do believe that as you read more, you start to get more. It just starts flowing into the head more.
This evening, not too many takeaways other than I continually am impressed by Job. I also feel for the man. When God challenged Satan, He knew what he was “betting” on.
