For much of this summer, daily reading of the Word has been more chore than delight -- all my heart's fault, I realize. Been trying to commit to treating my time with Him as the treasure it is meant to be. Always wonderful to see the insights that come out when the heart is right. Reading 2Sam14 last night, and an amazing verse stood out. John3:16 gets all the credit as the singular verse that perfectly encapsulates the Gospel. Well, take a look at the second half of 2Sam14:14:
"Yet God does not take away life, but plans ways so that the banished one will not be cast out from Him."
Another idea for the future bookshelf: a work with individual chapters focusing on all of the verses that express the gospel. You've got John3:16; you've got 2Sam14:14 now; you've got Ezek18:23,32. Yeah. This could go somewhere.
