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 have now finished the first five books of the Bible. Commonly called the “Torah” or the books of the law. It has been quite an adventure and a task. I’ve been really grateful to read through these books now that I’m a bit older and feel I grasp more of the concepts within them. I am sure that I will say the same thing if I read them again next year or in ten years.
Each year I grow in my knowledge of God, but it’s amazing to me how now when I am in conversation how often the things I’ve read in these books apply. God really is speaking in all of His word, we just have to read.
Looking forward to getting to the rest of the Bible.
