good idea!

wonderful chapter (among many)

in any case, nice to hear from you

Yes ... amen!

that's great. I'm focusing on the last part of John starting with chapter 18, and also other parts of the Bible.

i am currently in this chapter also

That's a nice number, eight million. May the Lord bless your meditation on His word.

well done!

Thank you Retry. I would also like to reiterate and support something you said, "I'm wanting to become familiar with most of God's Word as a correction for my sinful thoughts and ideas." Compare these three verses: (which I'm sure retry, you already know and love :) )

Psalm 119:9-11
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. (KJV)

Psalm 119:9-11
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping it according to Your word.
10 With all my heart I have sought You;
Do not let me wander from Your commandments.
11 Your word I have treasured in my heart,
That I may not sin against You. (NAS)

"With my whole heart" is an important key here. Seeking God must not be casual, or like some kind of hobby; if it is like a hobby, then the benefits will be far fewer.

I would agree with what you said retry. Also, I'd make this point, I'm meditating on Scripture to better understand God's Ways, to know Him better. What comes to my mind is this verse: Psalm 103:7. "He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel."

I'm posing the question, do we want to only know about His acts, His actions, what He has done? Those are all good things to know. But do we want also to be like Moses, and to understand and know His ways?

(just a clarification, I used the term "meditating" on Scripture because my experience with this site is that after the verses reach 100%, I haven't really "memorized" them forever to the point where I can recite them. I just want to be transparent about that. Have a blessed day, everyone.)

thank you for your kind words

good point.
