Ginny - LLJ Week 1, Day 1

Good evening Gals!!!  So excited to be back blogging with y'all!  I have missed this!

S - Luke 1:1-4 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word have handed them down to us, it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus; so that you might know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.

O - When you read the title of this study..."Living like Jesus"...it can seem very overwhelming, almost unattainable.  I can't even come close to living like Jesus.  He was perfect.  I am a far cry from perfect.  Because this study can be a bit hard to swallow at first, I really appreciate the way Luke starts out this book.  He already has calmed some of my anxiety and lets me know we are going to do this in small pieces.  He's been watching and taking in everything, now he will write it down for us in a systematic way that we may understand.  Thank you Luke! 

A - The book of Luke is the story of Jesus, and whereas I have heard the stories of Jesus many times I don't want to pass through this study just skimming the surface.  I want to learn something I didn't know before...or as Luke says in verse 4 "the exact truth about the things you have been taught."  I want to get the most out of each day.  Not rushing through it, but reflecting & thinking about what the Lord is saying in His Word.

P - Lord my prayer is that this study would be real and life-changing.  That truth would shine forth in a way that I have never looked at it before.  Please open my eyes, heart and mind to see & hear what You want me to learn.
