Bible Study In The Truck

When I start my trips across the country for work, I get really fired up...

I say to myself, this is going to be over two weeks on the road where you will be able to get a TON of #bible study done. And I start off with all the tools I need....

Bible? Check.

Journal? Check.

Books? Check.

Commentaries? Check.

Study materials? Check.

I'm ready! 18 days on the road, nothing is going to stop me from spending time with my bible and God!

And then....I start scrolling. Before long, I've watched reaction videos from music of my youth, random sports news on X, and pretty much everything except....Actually studying Scripture.

Now I can't get too hard on myself because while I'm driving, I'm listening to a ton of theology podcasts plus, going through multiple days of my bible reading plans...

I actually got through about 10-12 days of reading today alone. So I'm going through the bible, via audio. But it's not the same...

There's something I truly love about opening up the word of God, pen in hand and digging through the Scriptures. It's my happy place for sure. And tonight I made sure there was no excuse...

I got the truck parked, and started digging...

My church as a whole does quarterly bible studies. And for the fourth quarter, we're reading and studying about the gift of prophecy. What a fascinating look at prophets from the old testament and new.

I shared with you guys last week about 1 Kings. And the story of Elijah. This has been my obsession lately. Really digging into his ministry and the stories of the ups and downs that he faced. A regular dude, just like you and I. Such a powerful man and a blessing to everyone.

So tonight, I'm re-reading 1 Kings 17,18 and 19. Plus reading a few chapter in the churches companion book to this quarters lessons. Safe to say, I'm fired up for the night.

Doing studies in the truck can be challenging because even though I can focus, my attention seems to go from one thing to another quite quickly. But like I said, tonight has been different.

Now I just pray that I can keep my nose in the books over the next few days, because the more time I seem to spend in the Word, the better I end up feeling.
