In early 2019, I decided to invest more into my spiritual future. With my eyesight, it was difficult for me to read a physical book. So I read primarily ebooks.
That being said, I had one ebook version of the Bible. But I was having troubles understanding some of the phrasing. It may be that I got the book for free, years ago, and it wasn't translated properly. Anyway, if I came to a passage that was unclear, I'd crack open a physical Bible and read the same passage. Undoubtedly, it made sense.
So in early 2019 I purchased four different ebook versions of the Bible. One was as high as $30, but it has been well-worth it. I purchased another one earlier this year, which brings the total up to five. Reading the same passage in five different Bibles can bring a clearer perspective.
At that time, I also invested time each night alone and studied the Bible. I also read a few other Christian books, to add to my arsenal of knowledge.
If you've been following my journey over the past year, you know that my wife's medical issues started on May 19th, 2019, and ended with her passing on January 16, 2020. 242 days. These were troublesome times, for sure. But as much as I could, my wife and I sought out the Lord. Even during the better years, we remembered God as much as we could.
It is vitally important to seek out the Lord in both the good and bad times in your life. I am a true testament to that notion, for I built up a trust and faith and love in God and His Son Jesus Christ, that He helped me during the difficult times of my wife's illness, passing, and the aftermath of grief.
Seek Him out today.
