Bible Study

I am taking a Beth Moore Bible Study on Daniel. It is so great to be back in the Word of God. We see a video of Beth Moore every week and then do five days of homework. Every week I go home overwhelmed. She throws a lot of information at us in a short amount of time. I am learning so much.

This study has convicted me in some ways. I am questioning my motivation in what I say and do in my relationships with others. I have to say it has affected me. I wonder if I have too much pride or tend to boast about things. Do others see God's love in me or love for myself?

We are discussing a modern day Babylon in this study. Our society is too obsessed with self and self improvement. Is worrying about what I say a form of self interest? I know we should be ourselves. But, I want to be the best "myself" that I can be. Actually, I hope to be a better me!

I am praying to God daily that he will bring me into a right relationship with Him. I am asking Him to help me to be what He wants and not what I want. I know that I will have moments of doubt and guilt as I continue with the series. But I don't need to feel this way because God loves me and has forgiven me my sins.

I love my Lord with my whole heart, mind and soul and it is by His Grace and Glory that I am the person I am today! THANK YOU JESUS!
