I have never written much poetry in my life but I had the opportunity to write a Psalm during a spirituality day in July 2009. 
On completion I felt that I had engaged in a deep time of worship
and a meaningful moment of healing.

No words can explain Your wonder, O Lord,
No breath uttered can come close to Your majesty.
Your might is greater than the tallest mountain,
And yet Your thoroughness notices the smallest ant.

Your kingdom holds more power than a city of skyscrapers,
Your reward is more

18 footsteps.  That's all it took.  Laughter, friendship, support, salvation?
What more is only 18 footsteps away?

When I moved to South Morang 15 months ago I saw the potential for living in an amazing community.  We were situated in a new housing development estate and the longest serving resident had only been there for eight years.  Thousands of houses had been built and there were still a few hundred on the plans.  While we were only renting our townhouse we were dreaming of planting a new

Linda's blog about Daily Bible Study discusses the necessity of a close walk with God, a Daily Bible Study can of course helps this.  How do you do your study when it is as hot and energy draining as it is today in Melbourne. 40 Degrees Centigrade!!

For most people a daily Bible study can be more of a burden than a blessing. 

Our lives are filled with so many different pressures that our regular God-time often gets pushed to the back.  We know that daily Bible study and prayer is essential for a healthy relationship wtih God, but somehow, no matter how good our intentions are to begin with, we struggle to keep any regular routine.

Why is it so hard to keep up with regular daily Bible study?  Do we not think that it's worthwhile?  Do we not see any benefit in spending time exploring the stories and wisdom from God's Word?

To be honest, there are days when I commit willingly to my daily Bible study at yet I don't get any epiphany and I finish my devotion feeling none the wiser.  But we never know when the epiphany may come.  A year ago I moved to a suburb in Melbourne called South Morang.  My parents had never heard of this suburb before our plan to move.  Now they hear it mentioned all the time.  They notice it in the paper, they hear it on the news, and a few of their friends have even driven through there recently.  South Morang has not become more pronounced since I have moved there, but because my parents now have a point of reference to that place, they recognise it when it is spoken of.
Our daily Bible study can have the same impact on our lives.  When we read a passage in the Bible it may not help us in that moment, but when something connected to those words come up in our everyday life then we find a new connection to God.

Doing a daily Bible study can sometimes feel like a burden but the more we know of God and the more we experience Him, the more our lives are truly blessed.
