Prayers for August 22 2014

This morning for the first time in many years I was excited to get back into the Bible.

Yesterday I requested prayers to get into a habit of Bible study.

I admitted that I have started and stopped that dozens of times over the years.

Every Bible reading plan rarely lasted more than 2 weeks.

Then last night God gave me an inspiration.

The Holy Spirit built on a Bible study I have stopped and started many times.

This time it has a depth and width that it did not have before.

Like I stated on the prayer request yesterday, maybe I need to study in order to teach.

God has given me many insights and much understanding during the last 4 decades.

There is much I wish others had told me along my spiritual pilgrimage.

I invested much time this morning dealing with how I might pass along what God taught me.

My typical workbench is to use an online mind map.

I set up the five main headings that will organize future lessons.

I am not in a rush to go public with this.

Instead what I hope to do is invest some time each day as part of my spiritual disciplines.

Then in due season this will bear fruit in terms of lessons in the format of audio, video and text.

I have seen interviews of movie directors on the bonus materials of DVDs.

Many of them said I made a movie that I would want to go see.

So I am crafting Bible lessons I wish I had received long ago.

Pray for me to make this kind of study, thinking and lessons preparation a healthy habit.

Believe with me that in due time the fruits of these studies will benefit many others.
