Notice on a slight format change:

Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.

July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).

Prov 2:1-15
Proverbs 2:9–10 (ESV) —
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;
10 for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;
This is the result of inclining our heart to God's word and being obedient to the word (application). Correct  godly knowledge begets more correct godly knowledge. When we listen (get, hear) the word and obey (do) the word, the effect is very pleasant.
We are created for a purpose. Ultimate joy is found in achieving that purpose. Our primary purpose is to know God and glorify him with our life The word of God is the key because it contains the instructions on how to achieve our purpose in life. Ultimately all of life will seem meaningless and frustrating until we understand our purpose.
Lord, continue to teach me and use me to glorify you in my life. Teach me from your word. Reveal yourself to me.
