I am joining with a small group of women this spring and summer in an Email list called Good Morning Girls. It is an accountability and encouragement group. The idea is that each day during the week, we send a short note to each other via email about what we read or studied during our morning devotions (or sometimes afternoon or evening devotions!). It has been so great to share with each other and be able to pray specifically for each other.
Today my verse was Luke 6:40, The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. Now if we used the modern day definition of perfect that makes the verse a little more difficult to understand. For we know we will never be "perfect"! However with using the Webster's 1828 Dictionary we can find that the word perfect means finished, complete. Christ wants to make us like Him, conform us to his image. We have to submit to that willingly or the process is much more painful!
I love having the 1828 dictionary. The definitions are so much richer and deeper! AND, scripture is used to explain definitions! It has been a great help to us in our bible reading and studying! You can find it online at various places if you don't have a copy at home!
