In short, Hebrews 2:1 is the reason for this blog. Knowing that I made a promise to myself, my friends, and my Lord that I would "pay closer attention" to my walk with Christ by being in the Word DAILY (a practise I had neglected). Our Daily Bread has a focus passage and my promise to do this blogging of my thoughtful response keeps me accountable in a measurable way (before myself and my brothers) to be keeping my promise.
My initial goal is to foster anew the habit of beginning and ending my days in prayerful, thoughtful time in the Word. I have confidence that this will in turn rekindle my love for the Word and for the Author.
The Word must be my lifeline and cannot be (as I had allowed myself) neglected. As the New Living Translation rendered Hebrews 2:4 - "So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak?" The Bible IS the words of hope delivered to us by those who walked and talked with God Almighty. I am blessed to have scripture translations and helps so that I can dig into them and an indwelling Helper to understand and apply them. How dare I say I love Him yet spite this gift He has given me to draw closer to Him?
