Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Study His Holy Word.

This blog site has been active for quite some time now, but truly was not successful the first time around. Therefore, I am trying it again, with a special group of people that are involved in the "40 Days of Prayer" Series at my church. I am recommending that the individuals in my group use this blog site to reflect upon our daily exercises, have discussions regarding each day's lesson and just share any thoughts or feelings you may have. I think this will be a wonderful way to share our information and who knows......maybe we will get some "outsiders" to join in as well. Anyway, I will post on here EVERY day what my thoughts and feelings are about the exercise, so feel free to comment all you want. I hope we find this to be a very valuable tool.

"And all God's people say.....AMEN!"

Week 4: Day 5

I want to apologize to my team members and any others who are reading this blog. I didn't get this day's exercise completed until today. Last night after getting home from work, I sat down in my chair and about 30 seconds later I was sound asleep. Brian woke me up just in time to go to bed, so I didn't get ANYTHING done last night. Then today I haven't felt well all day long. All I have gotten done today is watching some TV and a little bit of laundry. I am finally feeling a little better this evening, so I am going to get this blog finished.

I am anxious to meet tomorrow and recap this week with my team. I thought last week was pretty productive and I thank all of those that have completed their exercises and are willing to participate in our weekly meetings. God Bless you all.

Now.....

1 Peter 3:13-16

This scripture speaks to me because I really have trouble answering the question of where my Hope comes from. My general answer is just "I get it from my faith", but I know that doesn't really explain much. I want to be able to explain my faith and my hope and to reference scripture when needed. I really don't have any answers to that question. This is definitely one of the exercises that I am going to recap tomorrow during our meeting, because I'm sure that some of the more "mature" Christians can probably answer that much easier than I can.

I do know that I have learned from reading this scripture that sometimes when you answer that question, people won't like your answer and may even give you a conflicting response. I can honestly say that I want to be A LOT more prepared when that happens.

Do any of you have an answer to this question? Have you had this asked of you lately, and would like to share your experience? Please share and maybe you can help more than just myself with this situation.

God Bless.
