When we pray we are talking to God, and when we read the scriptures the Lord is talking to us.
1- If we are in a humble place the Holy Spirit is able to help us in personal matters in decision making. (of the Lord does show up in other means to)
2- I find and I am sure many when reading passages we have been familiar with that when growth has taken place in us we see things we have not noticed before, it is a joy.
3- The Lord’s commandments and doctrine are consistent.
I am sure there is more but I am wrestling with blood sugar:)
Oh, that does not sound like any fun at all, wrestling with a misbehaving blood sugar...take care of yourself, and your health...
