last week, i bought a new study bible, the new inductive study bible, by kay arthur. my wonderful friend, lisa, recommended this bible. i've never been a good study-er of the bible...studying is not my thing! :) ha. let me rephrase that...i am not confident in my ability to study the bible and have heavily depended on commentaries and other resourcs that feed me "what to think." so after purchasing the bible last week, lisa and i decided to study the minor prophet obadiah....i know....a little random....not sure if i have ever even opened up to obadiah before (i usually stop my "bible through a year" plan before obadiah :( ). it has been such a good challenge for me. the tools at the beginning of the book do a great job of guiding the reader to discover "themes" in the book. as a teacher, myself, i am appreciating this process and seeing how powerful self-discovery is, rather than being told what i should learn.
today, i am reflecting this question: how do i respond when things don't go the way i think they should?
