In my education classes at college, we were reminded repeatedly to REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW. It was built into the curriculum, but my instructors knew that there would be a tendency to skip the review to make time for something else. In my own life, I see the necessity of review in my Bible memory, in the messages that I hear at church, and in my own Bible study. I need reminders.
As I read my Bible each day, I typically read 1 Psalm, a portion of the Proverb of the day, a couple of chapters in the Old Testament and 1 chapter in the New Testament. I do this because I know that I will come away with something. Sometimes I need the encouragement of the Psalms. Sometimes I need to hold onto a principle for Proverbs. Sometimes I need the straightforward rebuke of a Prophet. Other times I need the doctrinal teaching from the New Testament. God gave me some repetition on Saturday. The message was in the Old Testament and the New Testament. The message: "Don't talk back!" or "You are you for a reason."
Isaiah 45:9
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker!
Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it,
What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
Romans 9:20
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?
Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it,
Why hast thou made me thus?
I really am a slow learner sometimes and these verses always convict me. This time it was a double blow.
SHH! Don't talk back! I have a plan in the way you are made!
Are you listening today?
What did you learn and apply in your Bible study today?
