Joy in Studying the Word!

Psalm 46 (New International Version)
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Selah

We are studying the Psalms during our Sunday School Preparatory Classes and I am so excited. The Psalms are a source of comfort in times of trouble. The Psalms enrich prayer and praise time. The Psalms provide examples of confession and repentance. The Psalms are awesome gifts to the believer, a pathway into the presence of Almighty God.
2 Timothy 2:15 (King James Version)
15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Our Sunday School Preparatory is a time when we study the lessons which will be presented the following Sunday.

It is such an interesting concept. We meet on Monday night for an hour and study the scripture presented in the lesson, background scripture, historical context. This is a time to learn the who, why, when and what that will be in the upcoming lessons. We get excited about follow-up study at home for special clarity. We explore practical applications of the lessons learned. This is a time for the Living Word.
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."—John 14:26.

If you are bored reading the bible, if you find the bible confusing, find a good teaching ministry and discover the excitement of the Word of God in your life. Open the door for the Comforter and avail yourself of this wonderful gift.

May God Forever Be a Blessing in Your Life!!!
