I joined a discipleship program at church. It’s a program called “Rooted” and lasts for ten weeks. There is a weekly meeting with a small group and daily devotional readings. At the end of each devotional are questions. I am so enjoying the small group! I really like the daily devotional. But those questions!
There are just a couple after each day’s devotion along with a direction to write a prayer. Wouldn’t you think that after being a Christian for more than five decades and reading my Bible cover to cover multiple times, that it would be a snap to answer those questions? Instead, I struggle.
How would you answer the very first question after the very first devotion, “What false or incomplete images of God do you have?” and the second, “What new thoughts do you have about God?”
I thought … ALL my images and thoughts about God are “incomplete!” I only have a small finite understanding about our Infinite God! I also realized that I need to continue (yes, even after five decades) to dig deeper into the images and thoughts about God that He wants to reveal to me. I need to be eager to still learn and grow.
