It started right there in the garden. The serpent tempted Eve with a thought, "Did God really say ...?" The first step in his deception was to get her to doubt God, and he's still whispering the same question today. What is he tempting you to doubt? But God didn't give up on mankind. His response provides hope to us all. And in the next chapter of Genesis, He counseled a young man. Could that counsel be something you need to hear? Also read about the murder of dozens of innocent babies by a jealous, paranoid king, the danger of thinking we're smarter than God, the importance of honoring parents, and some examples of fulfilled prophecy.
Most of us would say that finding joy in trials is next to impossible, and yet, the Bible commands us to do just that! How is that possible and how can we grow in that ability? Also, today, do you find yourself praying about the same struggles day after day and week after week ... sometimes year after year. Are you tempted to give up or do you feel like you have simply failed God?
I first wrote this post a couple of years ago near the beginning of the year when many of us make fresh commitments to read more in the Bible, pray more, and in general, have a more effective quiet time. But when I came across it this morning, I thought it was worth republishing since it's something most of us think about often. While there is no right way or wrong way to do that, there are some things that can make our time with God more spiritually profitable and enjoyable. I'd like to share twenty-eight of them.
