A dear man asked me the other day where we were going next in our “Enjoying the Journey” Bible study. It is a pleasure to walk through Scripture together and to know that many of you are making that journey with us! Here is a brief overview of our next steps…

Today’s episode is very special for a couple of reasons. On one hand, it is a brief footnote to our 19 week study in the gospel according to Mark. In addition to that I share some exciting news about our journey to the Holy Land in 2020. We would love to have you join us as we study the Bible in the land of the Bible! Be sure to listen to “Seeing the Bible Through New Eyes.”

Tomorrow we begin a brief series on “Letting The Bible Live In Me.” We know that God’s Word is a living book (Hebrews 4:12)! Yet too often we fail to allow that life giving power to work in us. My burden is to encourage every Christian to spend time each day meditating in Scripture. There is a power to personal Bible meditation – the power of God’s truth coming alive in us! Please don’t miss these studies over the next couple of weeks.

If people rely solely on a podcast, devotional book, or any other resource to feed them each day they will never become what they could and should be for the Lord. Do not rely on the meditations of others alone. Learn to meditate in God’s Word for yourself and you will find food for your soul.

In June we begin a month long study in a one chapter book…more on that soon. Thanks for listening and passing the podcast along to others. If you would be so kind to share a rating or brief recommendation on the podcast platform that you use it would help us get the word to many more people.

We deeply appreciate your prayers and it is our prayer that you are “Enjoying the Journey.”

Your fellow traveler,

Now, I am no engineer! But the principle applies to us all: The easiest thing in the world is to have a complicated life. The hardest thing in the world is to have a simple life. You have to work hard to keep it simple.

You Have to Work Hard to Keep it Simple

The idea of building a monument was not that of Joshua, but of God. God instructed Joshua to have twelve men remove a stone from a prescribed place, place it on their shoulders and bear it up out of Jordan. It was to be taken to their place of lodging. What purpose could possibly be served in carrying twelve large river rocks approximately six or seven miles to Gilgal? God said to! In Joshua, we find that God is a monument builder. 

The Monument Builder

In the Second Boer War in South Africa, 13,000 British troops were trapped for 118 days in what is now known as the Siege of Ladysmith. Food diminished, and disease grew. Worst of all, discouragement set in. A civilian was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year in jail for being a discourager! This man was not a traitor, but he walked around town and spoke discouraging things to men who were on guard against the enemy. The deepest wound you can inflict is to wound a person’s spirit (Proverbs 18:14). Image of the relief of the siege

The Power of Encouragement and the Peril of Discouragement 

In 2 Kings 5, we read a tale of three servants: Naaman, the Little Maid, and Gehazi. No matter your past, you can find healing like Naaman. Regardless of your circumstances, like the maid, God can bless and use you for eternity. Even if you have experienced great victory, you can fall into sin, just like Gehazi.
