Hello again everyone---hope you enjoyed the couple of days of warmer weather we just experienced. Isn't it that way with our relationship with Christ at times? Things can feel "frozen" over and dead---bleak, shallow, without life...and then he gives us a few"warm" days to bask in His presence to bring us back to the reality of his continual presence. If He is there for us during the good times, what makes us think (just as the Isrealites did in the wilderness) that He has forgotten us in the dry, harder times? Our sin can blind so easily. We are going to discover that this was also the Psalmist's dilema much of the time. But God always turned the mourning into joy!!!
This week please take time to dive into Study III Meditation III. Hopefully more of us will have opportunity to comment on the blog.

hi there
Sorry gals , I am having problems getting on here as something has changed in the setup and i have been trying to figure it out . Has it changed on your view of the site ...ie there is no longer a place to put in my email address and my password like before ....or is this just an extra challenge for me ? In the process I also changed my password . This is wierd.
I really like how Timothy Keller in the leader's guide points out that many times we read God's Word with a "me" attitude rather than a "HIM" attitude. Seeing Christ and our Heavenly Father in all of God's Word takes us to another level of relationship with Him. My favourite verse this week from Psalm 119 was verse 11: Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee". But after that the Psalmist gives the Lord praise for this followed by another plea to continue to learn from Him. Only this way leads to rejoicing in His statutes !!
