Annie got a New Bible for her birthday!
Last night we opened it up and she read it for the first time. Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the LORD with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding." I told her we'd be reading one verse together every night. She got excited and then spent a moment pondering a question that had formed in her mind. "Dad," she asked, "what if we run out of verses?"
That's the AMAZING thing about God's WORD, it is soooooooo DEEP! When you think you've gotten to the bottom, God unlocks a whole new realm.
For instance-
I was reading through my Bible a couple of days ago and I got completely inspired. God engaged me in a whole new stratosphere. Psalm 119 (it's the longest chapter in the Bible), 176 verses on the same thing- the WORD of God. The author is obsessed! Every verse pursuing, learning, loving God through His Word.
I want that! I want that for my life to be CONSUMED by the WORD of God! And I want that for Annie! I can't wait! Night after night the WORD of God being written on her heart.

Awesome. I suppose if you run out of verses, you'll just have to start again!
