Here we are in the middle of week six of the Hello Mornings Challenge over at Inspired to Action. I am finding it hard to believe that we are in Week 6 already! Yet, at the same time, it seems as if we are just getting started. This week we are starting in to the second chapter of I Peter. In my initial read of verses 1-12, the phrases "the LORD is gracious" and "his marvelous light" and "we have obtained mercy" jumped at me.
As I am going through this week, the graciousness of God is my rejoicing. His great riches poured on me. As I heard defined last week: divine influence in the heart reflected in one's life. God's grace.
The pattern of this study is becoming very evident in the weekly approach to the passage of Scripture. Reading for understanding or clarification of words and phrases the first day. The the next three days reading the passage looking for truths, promises, and commands. Finally, applying the passage to daily life. The no nonsense approach that is easy to follow each week, is a great tool to learn. Not only for use in study this current passage of I Peter, but to be taken and used in the study of any Scripture passage.
