Is it just me or is Sunday the hardest possible day to read your Bible? So much church and God... so little time for God...
I have ALWAYS struggled to read my Bible on Sundays. Sundays are the most hectic day of the week, especially being a pastor.
I have tried in the past to read in the morning before church, but I wake up at 7 and go to church as soon as I am ready. I have tried to read at church in my office, but everybody pops their head in to say hello or to ask me a question about something. After church in the afternoon, you can forget about it... lunch/nap/get ready for youth group. And then finally getting home around 8-8:15.
Sundays are a hard day to fit in some quiet time. And to be completely honest with you in this blog, I usually have just justified it away by saying "well, I heard God's word 4 times today..."
But like Martha, I heard God saying today, "Mary has chosen what is best." Larry's blog has been pretty convicting in that.
So here I am after midnight, finally blogging about Moses and the Exodus from Egypt. All I can say is that there was interesting stuff.
I promise I will blog about it tomorrow. I am kind of tired and I want to go to bed.
I will leave you with the verse I chose as the key verse Exodus 12:41. At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD's divisions left Egypt.
I guess I am typing a lot tomorrow as I double post...

i feel you... it is getting harder and harder! and i didn't even go to church ! (w/ chloe all day and traveling). i came up 2 chapters short yesterday and was surprised i even did that much... it was a crazy day... we got home to no electricity and also my car wouldn't start... went to bed at almost 2am! struggling to finish thru chapter 40 today... have to do hw tonite too - first day of school tomorrow!! how is it life has a way of getting in the way of what's really important, making the Bible seem like just another chore to do rather than spending time with the Creator of the universe?
