Precepts, by Kaye Arthur, and the Bible studies by Beth Moore are both excellent ways to study the Bible and I have previously recommended them – http://budurl.com/SIhmchurch . I have been studying through the book of Daniel this past year in the Precepts courses. We are currently on a two month break and I had gone back to my “different kind of Bible study” for the time being – http://budurl.com/SIdiffBible . Friday, as I was walking through Lifeway Christian bookstore, I noticed that Beth Moore had a Bible study on Daniel as well. It occurred to me it might be rather interesting to study it during the breaks to gain another viewpoint of this wonderful book of prophecy.
I started working on it yesterday and am thoroughly enjoying it. If I have time next year, I am going to try to work through my McGee commentaries and the Enduring Word commentaries on this book as well. Studying the Word of God is always valuable and I cannot encourage you enough to join me in making that a high priority each day. Life can be so difficult and we need all the help we can get. That can be especially true for caregivers! Paul tells us in 2 Timothy 3:16-18, “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man [or woman or caregiver or grandparent…] of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”
I have to tell you as well, I was excited to learn something new and interesting today about the book of Daniel. Did you know that Daniel 1:1-2:4 and 8:1-12:13 were written in Hebrew, while Daniel 2:4-7:28 were written in Aramaic? I definitely did not and found that very interesting and intriguing! What are you studying in God’s Word right now? Have you discovered something new and/or intriguing as well. We’d love to have you share it with us.

Something intriguing about the word of God? What about everything?
Now, one of the things that always intrigue me is that in the Bible even the tiniest of detail is important. Take Jesus last words on the cross:
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Which seems like He has lost hope… but then you go to Psalm 22; and see how it ends

Everything, is, indeed, intriguing about His Word! And great example with Jesus’ last words! Thank you for sharing.
