Beth Moore Study

Today was the first week of 12 that i will be having a Bible study with a bunch of awesome ladies from my church! :) I am super excited. The study is Beth Moore's (which i know already makes it incredible) Video study on Daniel... I have to say i am so excited and looking forward to the upcoming weeks. Today she talked about mainly historical stuff and mentioned how GODs word is Timeless and meant to fit every generation. She totally opened my eyes to see how the word is relevant to me right now in the 21st Century! I think it is awesome thinking of how literature written in 650BC is relevant in 2011AD! GOD is so cool!

Anyway just to share with you the main things i took away from today...

I am living in a Babylon of my own. This world that we live in is equivalent to the Babylon of the beginning of times. Babylon is a way of thinking; a philosophy of "I am, and there are none above me" It is a depiction of our broken sinful world.

One thought that has stuck with me today is "We were assigned to this world by GOD. satan has assigned the world to us." She also said something that i swear she was speaking right to me! The idea that we have been placed in our own Babylon. We have been placed in it at this time for a reason. I have been assigned to this life, this place, these trials i face at this time and at every moment in my life for a reason! There is purpose and reasons behind each and everything we face. It gives life more depth i think. Rather than just constantly going through the motions, taking time to break it all apart and see GODs face in everything we have done, are doing, and will do. (Sorry if i totally confused you...)

Exciting things are happening! I am so grateful for this study. It came at the perfect time! GOD knows best :)
