My Personal Bible Reading and Bible Study





Right now, I cannot soak in enough of the Word of God. I usually am not this thirsty. I'm normally thirsty, yes, but this is to the extreme. However, it's in a very a good way.
I'm doing more Bible study in a day than I've done in a month, I'm afraid for a few months over the last couple of years. (Ouch. It embarrasses me to be so honest. But, it's true.)
The Bible studies I am doing right now are:

1 BELIEVING GOD by Beth Moore
(Information about it can be found here: http://www.lifeway.com/n/product-family/believing-god/?intcmp=BethMooreBS-Tiled-Tiled-BelievingGod-20140221)



2 Personal Bible reading of Bible in a year. Just started a new reading program this morning. The M'Cheyne program.

4 Just started this one as well:



5 Oh, silly me! I forgot this one.

Seeking God and Knowing God





SEEKING AND KNOWING GOD

Seeking God is looking for and searching for Him. It’s trying to identify Him and His work in our lives and around our lives. In order to be able to identify Him, though, we have to know Him. Otherwise, how do we know it’s Him and not something or someone else? Part of knowing God is knowing His attributes or characteristics. It’s also about knowing His Word.

Let’s be real here and face it: if we are not in His Word, we do not know Him. If we do not know Him, how can we seek Him?

I Want to Seek God





Seeking God:
A Godly Vision Bible Study Journey

I WANT TO SEEK GOD

I want to seek God.
I want to seek Him where I am, doing what I am doing, not just during my quiet moments. And not just when I read the Bible and do Bible study.
I want to seek God and find where all He is working all around me, in me, through me, and in the lives of others. God is always present and is in me and is without (meaning around me). I want to seek Him and see Him in every moment. After all, every moment I am alive, He is there. He is here. And, He is in you, and with you, and is working and present around you.
So, yes. I want to seek God and find Him here--and there. And, I want to join Him in the work, and in the being, He has planned for me. How about you?
When I think of how God is always here and there, and how few times I've actually searched and looked for Him in the moment, it makes me sad and frustrated. How can I miss Him so often? So, I want to live with purpose and intentionality and seek Him in every moment. I want to be mindful of Him. Hence, I want to seek Him and to constantly be seeking God.
The Bible tells us to pray 24/7/365. It also says to thank Him always. It also says to meditate or ruminate on the Bible every night and day. If we are in the Word, are praying, and are counting our blessings, then wouldn't we be seeking Him all the time?
Care to join me in seeking God? That is what this Bible study journey is all about. Let's see the glory of God all around us and recognize it day and night—and stop missing Him. Let's seek God and continually do so.
This is Seeking God.
