I bought a new Bible recently... my duct-taped one (someone once called my "redneck Bible") has served me well, but I wanted something that was bound a little better. I purchased a New Living Translation Study Bible, with tons of great "extras." Honestly it does look like one of those BIG BLACK BIBLES we joked about being 'Thumped' by!
I've been thinking, writing, praying about, and studying Joy for some time, so I decided I wanted to do a word study on it. The first thing I did was to go to the Dictionary/ Concordance in the back of this Bible and began looking up all the Joy references. I didn't just jot down the verse, but looked at the context and keywords and put those in my document.
I'm not even finished yet with this part...but it has been so exciting and inspiring. It has lifted my spirits in new ways. I will be blogging about some of the amazing nuggets I've found in days to come. I welcome your comments as you read!
