No, I haven't. Somehow I started this whole thing on fire and now it's become a royal pain in the butt....but that's probably because I haven't been seeking his guidence. I'm also really shocked by the lack of participation by my fellow bible study ppl, so I've lost a lot of my steam in that area as well......And what with Heather going to the E.R. this week and having her headaches...I've just totally fallen behind the 8 ball on this one.

I may be completely off the mark in my interpretation of this chapter but I believe it is laying the ground work for establishing that the bible is God authored. While I already held this as a deep rooted belief, there was something else in this passage that stuck a chord with me. Verse 10 (NIV Version) says:


To me, this makes a strong statement about where my priorities should lie. In my daily life, am I striving to serve God, or Man, or for that matter, myself. So today I will try to be conscious of my motivations and essentially ask myself if my actions are for the betterment of God or Me?

I also noticed in verse 15:


Here, is see that Paul is acknowledging that God has had a plan for him since birth and that he is acting upon God's will to fulfill this plan. Well, I have no idea what God's plan is for me, so based on this scripture I believe I need to make a concerted daily effort of prayer to make Gods will known to me, so that I too can follow his plan.
