A few thoughts on the Bible Quiz
I've been up at night a lot lately and had time to do some thinking. The Bible Quiz was fun but it pricked my heart to realize how little I really know and how much more I desire to know...I couldn't believe I got a 100 on anything Bible study related, because it's been awhile since I've been a diligent student of the Word. I've been so swamped by life lately that my readings have been quick...just enough to have a verse for the day... or week.
I asked Jesus into my heart at the tender age of 3 years old..and I renewed that commitment after a baptismal service I attended at the age of 7. I still remember my solitary walk to the car that evening...the crunch of the gravel under my feet...the stifling hot, Texas air.
I prayed with every fiber of my tiny being and with each dusty,crunchy step I poured out my heart to my Heavenly Father. I wanted to be sure that He and I would always and forever be together.
That was 32 years ago. I still want us to be together forever. But sometimes I act human. I forget to make time for Him and I don't study like I really want to. This funny little quiz just brought a whole flood of emotion to the surface and now I turn and repent. I need to pour out my heart to Him tonight. I want to remind Him how much I love Him and ask for His help in bringing order to my days. Then I'll be able to study or even just read His Words a little bit more.
