Reclaiming the Treasure

It has been a long time!

To my knowledge no one reads this blog yet, but nevertheless it has been a long time since I posted.  This is because for a period of almost 20 months I allowed my discipline of Bible memorization to be almost completely neglected.  How sad.  I took the treasure given me by God and cast it aside.  In my defense, our family did go through an incredibly challenging season in ministry and life, and due to that trauma and stress I found it difficult to concentrate long enough to tie my shoes, much less recite the book of Revelation, etc...  Nevertheless, I take full responsibility for my lack of perseverance and readily admit that in the time when I could have benefited most from God's Words in my heart, I turned away and wallowed in self-pity.

But God's grace is enough, and He has reinvigorated me for this calling once again!

So I am now reclaiming the treasure and finding that the jewels have not sunk too deeply into the sand.  The books are coming back to me quite easily at a pace of 4-5 chapters per day, and so my plan is to just leave the stats to the right for now until I get everything back.  Then, by God's grace, I will continue to advance and add to that list day by day.  Then, sometime in the future, as the Holy Spirit leads, I will share this blog with whoever desires to die daily through the blessed calling of Bible memorization. 

Amazing!  Awesome!  Thanks, Lord!
