Good Day Child of God! "Father? Your Will Be Done!" Before we go into another Study, I need your understanding about the intention of these several times per week insights. There are three ways they can be presented: 1) A short (500 words more or less) Daily Devotional, 2) A Short (1000 words more or less) informational teaching/encouragement, and 3) A full teaching (1500 words more or less) with background, and encouragement.
The archives are nearly all done in the number 3 format, and at the average reading of 300 words per minute for an adult, they were quite deep, but it seems 5 to 6 minutes is too much for most. This year I started with the number 1 format which is difficult to do because it cuts out so much of the important background that is required if you don't know your Bible well. I know most of you don't know your Bible well. I have been doing this, that is leading Studies, teaching Studies, typing Studies and so on for more years than I care to count, and if only two minutes is spent in the Word, and even if you are very aware of what is in the Bible, the more you read it, the more you learn, then forget, so it becomes a matter of whether a small devotional is enough to help anyone.
Finally it gets down to the center of it all the Study styles, where it is not 2 minutes, nor 5 minutes, but around 3 minutes, understanding and focusing during the reading is of great importance. This mid-sized Study gives you enough background so that you can talk to a friend or your Father about it, and let it sink in. You can read first thing in the morning, or last thing at night as is my want, or at lunch when you need a break from the world. The point is helping you, the Student, learn as much as possible in the shortest time, is the goal, so we are going to go with the mid-range Study, around a 3 minute read. This way you can get a good taste of the verses, and what it was like at the time of the writing. It is my sincerest wish that you as a Child of God get to know who and what your Father is really like. The Bible is not just a group of stories put together by a group of men and woman to entertain. The Bible contains both a tremendous History, and the Word of God, and to understand it all properly we cannot run through it, nor go too slowly, pace is important.
To that end, we will begin our Studies starting immediately, three per week, the Father Willing, more if He strengthens me, and your part will be to read them at a time and place that allows you to learn and appreciate what the Creator of all things is like, as much as He will reveal to us, and to you in particular. The next Study is already being prepared right now, and will be posted soon.
As for the Archives, please use them, (excuse the small errors in spelling and/or grammer), and do not be afraid to write a comment back to me or ask a question, because I cannot read minds nor repair things I do not know about. This is a Blessed' work, and I want you to be Blessed by it, so also pray for the ministry, and again, please keep in touch. Have a Grace Day!
