Take time each day to read and commune with God. The Bible says, "Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord, and they study it day and night." (Psa 1:2 GNT) The "instead" refers to the choice we have to pursue the good things God has for us, as opposed to the things of this world that will only lead us into trouble. The word we translate to "study," or "meditate" in some versions, is the same word translated as "ruminate." As a cow chews its cud it ruminates, swallowing and then coughing it back up to chew some more. Therefore, as we study, and meditate, on God's Word we are effectively chewing it over and over again as a cow chews its cud. This process helps in digesting food as the cow gains every little bit of nutrient from it. In this volume, the fourth in the Rivers of Eden series, you will find a deeper perspective for your walks in the garden. More spiritual food to chew on, if you will. Every day, for the next 100 days, you will continue to experience a connection with God through the opening Scripture reading. Then you will be introduced to Rev. Noggle's experience in his Christian walk, along with occasional references to many of the Scholars who have been pivotal in Rev. Noggle's life. And your prayer time as you close out the session will bring you into a new light in Jesus Christ. That is Rev. Noggle's prayer for you. Enjoy!
