One thing I love about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is that we focus a lot on personal progression. We can continually improve if that is what we want to do. A few weeks ago at church, they were talking about our ability to improve right now in a few aspects if we set goals and work on them. There were 4 categories for goals which are: social, spiritual, physical, and intellectual. now for setting goals, it is best to be specific and with deadlines so you have a time when you can follow-up on your goal and its progress. Anyway, for Spiritual, I set the goal of reading the Old Testament in 3 months. It's only been about a month but right now I am at Proverbs. It's a hard read at first but the more you read, the more you understand their stories. Of course, there are some sections where it's best to read with an eye of faith and to ponder on why it's written but overall it's pretty good. Anyway here's a report on my goal.
It's pretty fun. here are some verses that I ended up loving a lot
Deuteronomy 22:9
Psalms 24:3-4
Proverbs 3:5-6
Psalms 82:6
Joshua 1:9
Genesis 2:24
Exodus 6:30 - 7:1
1 Samuel 1:27-28
1 Samuel 8:7
I've been using these in my teachings and they are so awesome. Anyway, that's about it. Ingat!!
