As an intern here at Kauai Bible College, one of my requirements as an intern is listening to an audio series by Pastor Chuck Smith. He's been going through the old testament. I just recently got through the book of Leviticus.
Rewind now to the beginning of this month. I had just finished up reading through 1st Corinthians in my morning quiet times and was choosing what book I would read next. The Lord brought Hebrews to mind. I've always wanted to read through it and now the opportunity had arrived.
So as I was reading of the law and the old covenant, I was also reading in Hebrews about the new covenant and how Jesus came to fulfill the law. The Holy Spirit allowed me to understand both parts of scripture more clearly by directing my heart on where to read! It amazes me that even in the seemingly small choices that we make in life, (like where to read) is completely directed by the Holy Spirit. Anything good inside of me is because of him working in my life. Praise the Lord!
In other news, God is working mightily in the lives both of the students and the staff, changing our hearts to look more like Christ. It's been great to see the transformation of students. With the end of the semester coming closer every day, I'm getting a bittersweet feeling in my stomach. I'm excited for the next season of life but I'm going to miss the friends I've made, the church family I've become part of and the ocean. :)
I'm pushing myself to finish this semester strong and finish what I started here by the grace of God. He is so good to us.
Hebrews 1:3,4
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
Psalm 66:1-5
"Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! Say to God 'How awesome are your deeds!So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praise to your name.' Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man."
