A Lesson A Day...

Today I bought the Archaeological Study Bible. This is a Bible that incorporates Biblical Culture and History to shed light on things that might otherwise be taken out of context or misunderstood. Nate Helm-Anderson, my pastor, told me that this would be an amazing Bible to invest in and, though I have only had it for 2 hours, it has already shed light on some things that I was confused about.

As I sit here reading this Bible and thinking also about the recent posts I have submitted, I had a thought. While I know that no one really reads my blog anymore, I could always have a lesson a day to always remind myself of what I've read and learned. I have a total of five Bibles, 2 are KJV and the remaining 3 are different versions. I can take from each of these Bibles along with the most recent investment of the Archaeological Bible to form my opinion of what I have learned. Taking from the days events that I live, I can then go through and find verses that reflect my day. A format will be in order to give consistency, while consistency in life or faith is not what I'm going for, it is more of a path so that I always know what to say about a day/reading.


The Possible Format -

1. A poem, much like earlier today, a quote, or a verse from the Bible.
   
2. A synopses of my day.
3. A lesson learned from that day or a feeling from that day.
4. Bible verses that resemble or go along with the lesson learned.
   
5. A song that resembles through lyrics the feelings that I felt throughout the day.
6. The ultimate conclusion about the lesson and the Bible verses.

This is a possible format where all, some, or none could be present in a given day. Some times a song might reflect my feelings more so than words that I could come up with. Thus, each day that I am able to write on this blog I will. However, a promise to write on here is not made.

I will try to do this for at least 30 days straight, while the promise is not there. After 26 days of doing something without fail, it will become a habit. This is my goal, to make a habit out of reading the text/ listening to it with the KJV CD's that I purchased, and discussing what I have learned from the days text reading/ events. In many ways, my earlier post resembles this; thus, I will leave you with that thought.
