We can see snow from our street - on the Sierra Nevada mountains - but it doesn't usually fall here in Alhaurin (although the public library does have a photo on the wall of the last time it snowed here in the town.) I was relieved to see that our minimum temperature today will be two degrees and our top temperature could be as high as fourteen if the sun makes an appearance. (Where my parents live in Scotland, it was minus fourteen this morning before sunrise.)
Today in my Bible reading, I was reflecting on the story of King Josiah (found in 2 Kings chapters 22 and 23.) When clearing out the temple, people find the "Book of the Law" which has been lost for many years, and realise - to their shock - that they've been living their lives totally contrary to what God said was best for them. In order to re-align themselves with the Book again, there are some things that they need to commit to... and some things that they need to give up.
If you or I want to align ourselves with the Bible in a deeper way, I wonder what things we should stop doing, and what things we should start doing with more commitment. Food for thought, isn't it?
