Inquisitive.....

Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me. I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. Psalm 119:97-99

I love my wife with all my heart and I know that she loves me equally....but, there is this one thing (actually probably many more things...) that I do that drives her crazy. I don't mean to do it....it just comes naturally. I think those who know me well probably have a similar disliking to this side of my personality. Here it is-- if you ask me one question, my mind is not simply thinking of an "answer", like most other normal people....it is thinking about three more questions based upon the question that is being asked to me. I think that it is an internal curse or something. I am not sure when it started to happen....I don't think I have been this way all my life. However, I am going to try to put a positive spin on this dreadful personality flaw and call it an "inquisitive spirit." In any case, this "positive" personality defect comes in very handy when studying the bible. As I have shared a few posts on the topic of bible study, the greatest tool for understanding scripture is an inquisitve mind that finds great joy in asking questions of the text. If you are reading your bible without this tremendous tool....stop the mundane reading....change your ways....start asking questions when you read your bible. I think you will be amazed at the new level of understanding that this practice opens up. Don't settle for mediocrity with reading the scriptures.....dig in, don't be afraid to ask the tough questions. Enjoy God's word!
