Finished Ruth
At only four chapters in length it was a simple matter to complete the book of Ruth yesterday evening after only a couple days of reading. Tonight we will begin reading our way through I Samuel.

Completed Judges
Tonight we completed reading through the book of Judges together as a family. Many days we have been reading two chapters of the Old Testament at a time which has sped up the pace considerably.
Very much looking forward to moving on to the book of Ruth which is a welcome departure from the overarching theme of Judges where every man did that which was right in his own eyes. That is not to say that God's sovereignty is not evident in this book. In fact, it was very interesting to see God's hand actively working despite all the many poor choices and unwise actions of men mentioned throughout. Despite all of this God was not in the least bit hindered from fulfilling his will!

Hymn of the Month: June 2010
I Know Whom I Have Believed
D. W. Whittle (1883)
1. I know not why God's wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.
But "I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against that day."
2. I know not how this saving faith
To me he did impart,
Nor how believing in His Word
Wrought peace within my heart.
But "I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against that day."
3. I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus thro' the Word,
Creating faith in Him.
But "I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against that day."
4. I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I'll walk the vale with Him,
Or meet Him in the air.
But "I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against that day."
