Dear Ladies (and men) of SafeHaven, Greetings in the Mighty Name of Jesus! What a wonderful week this has been having the privledge to spend the week here at Winter Bible Seminar! Then, the devotional that came up as I opened my PC Study Bible this morning seemed to dovetail off a class we sat in on here at Rhema Bible Training Center. The instructor emphasized our need to get into the Word for ourselves. How, by studying things out for ourselves, the Holy Spirit gives to us revelation, teaching us and thereby gives us ownership of our newfound information. He talked about our need to always need to stand firm on our beliefs but, if, by some chance, someone says something contrary to things that we have believed (even things we have believed for years) we should not automatically dismiss that teaching or thought, but rather study it out for ourselves. And, if need be, admit our error and “tweek” our beliefs in line with God’s Word. Don’t allow yourself to be “spoon fed” by simply reading or listening to the teaching of others but rather let that be in addition to what you are learning on your own. Here are just a few snippits from the devotional I read this morning. Spurgeon’s Morning & Evening by Charles Spurgeon February 21 AM "He hath said." — Hebrews 13:5 If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all-conquering weapon in our hand. What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? ..... And this may teach us the extreme value of searching the Scriptures. There may be a promise in the Word which would exactly fit your case, but you may not know of it, and therefore you miss its comfort. ..... Should you not, besides reading the Bible, store your memories richly with the promises of God? You can recollect the sayings of great men; you treasure up the verses of renowned poets; ought you not to be profound in your knowledge of the words of God, so that you may be able to quote them readily when you would solve a difficulty, or overthrow a doubt? Since "He hath said" is the source of all wisdom, and the fountain of all comfort, let it dwell in you richly, as "A well of water, springing up unto everlasting life." So shall you grow healthy, strong, and happy in the divine life. Believe me ladies that I am talking to myself here. The Word tells us to study ourselves to be approved. May God bless you ever so richly as you look into His Word and take hold of the promises of His Word for yourself! Allow His love to flow through you, Lori
