Study Produces Joy!

From page 76 - "Study produces joy!" - I wish he would have started with this because study is the single most transformative discipline I have experienced and the end result in my life has been joy! 

"Celebration is central to all life of faith" - trainee float

I have been studying the verse Matt. 23:15 this week (pg 63).  It jumped out at me and I have been seriously studying my life (pg 75) to see if I too like the scribes and Pharisee's am guilty of Jesus's accusation in the verse.  This has been an adventure!  I have made some incredible discoveries - maybe I will share them later!

Page 66- "It soon becomes obvious that study demands humility.... Arrogance and a teachable spirit are mutually exclusive" - That whole paragraph is just awesome and a great butt kicker of a reminder. 

Truth be told almost every word in this chapter is underlined!  I love the discipline of study and i long to grow in the discipline to be more and more in His presence and be transformed.
