Psalm 119:97-106

Oh, how I love Your law!
It is my meditation all the day.
You, through Your commandments,
Make me wiser than my enemies;
For they are ever with me.

I have more understanding than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my meditation.
I understand more than the ancients,
Because I keep Your precepts.

I have restrained my feet from every evil way,
That I may keep Your word.
I have not departed from Your judgments,
For You Yourself have taught me.

How sweet are Your words to my taste,
Sweeter than honey too my mouth!
Through Your precepts I get understanding;
Therefore I hate every false way.

Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Oh the glorious beauty of spring! The days are getting longer, the air is getting warmer, even the sun seems to be shining brighter! The bulbs are beginning to shoot out of the earth, and yes, Mrs. Robin has made her first appearance.

The urge to get out there and start gardening is strong, especially since this seemed to be a particularly messy winter and the yard needs a lot of cleaning up! I can't wait!

It always seems to me that spring is the best time for making new resolutions. Resolve to know the giver of life and hope in a deeper way by studying and learning His Word every day.

God Bless You!

--ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION:

Q. Did the brothers of Jesus believe in Him during His ministry on earth?

A. no


Now the Jew's Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. His brothers said to Him, "Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world."

For even His brothers did not believe in Him.

John 7:2-5

As Isaiah says in the fifty-third chapter, "He has no form or comeliness; and when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him." His own brothers did not see beyond his outward commonness to His inward Godliness until after His Resurrection.
