"Lord open my mind that I might have understanding."

I just watched the introduction video for "A Woman's Heart: God's Dwelling Place" this morning. The first time I watched it the house was alive and distracting, I woke up at 5 and couldn't get back to sleep, a quiet house, with no chance of anyone bothering me for at least 2 hours, the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with God.

In the viewer guide it says,

"May these words become our constant plea throughout the next 10 weeks: Lord, open my mind that I might have understanding."

The study is described as a puzzle, where we will find the pieces by reading all over the scriptures, to get the full picture and we will discover that the picture is Jesus. I didn't catch the origin of the quote, but it is that when we see Jesus, we will either hide our faces, or shamlessly adore Him.

I am so excited for this study, to learn how to put all the pieces together and to worship in the presence of God.

This study appears to have A LOT of homework. It is backwards from the studies we've done previously. We watch an introductory video on week one, followed by 5 days of homework, we then watch the video that wraps up the 5 days of homework.

Begin to pray that God will free up the time you need to complete the work. In the introductory session we will learn that God has pursued each of us to join this particular Bible study. He has a purpose for this study at this moment in our lives, and He will give us what we need to see what He is showing us, so let's start asking Him for that.

"Lord, open our minds that we might have understanding."
