God sure does open doors....

I'm renewing my study of Ecclesiastes now that our Tuesday night study is completed. Prior to today I've read through it completely one time and have followed an online study for the first two chapters. This morning I began again and read through the entire book for the second time. Since I'm relatively new to the Bible I am always amazed at how God speaks to me. I have a feeling that if I ever become well read in the Bible, I'm still going to be amazed at how God speaks to me. I watch Sarah bring the word to us and I watch her tears and I see her react surprised and amazed at what she discovers and if Sarah still has that newness, than that must mean that all the days of my life I will find something new, something meaningful, something pertinent every time I open the word, to the end of my days! How awesome and exciting is THAT????

Being an optimist, I at first, found this book to be particularly negative and depressing.....but reading through it, REALLY reading it, there is just so much wisdom and knowledge to be gleaned.....I love this blog because I can share my excitement with others as I'm quite sure sharing it with a 3 or 4 year old probably won't reap the same benefit! :-)

Ecclesiastes 3:14 says "I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it."

I find that verse particularly comforting and one of the reasons I picked God's Enduring Love for the name of this blog. I love the word endure. Endure: To suffer patiently without yielding; to remain firm under suffering or misfortune without yielding.......What a wonderful God we serve. That He would be patient with us. There are so many other verses that touched my heart....just so many.....but if I get too windy Linda might make fun of me! So I'll stop here and pray that if you get a few minutes you might take a look for yourself which is FAR better than me telling you about it anyways!

Have a great day!
