Brad Cooper tweeted something several days ago that I really liked. In fact I liked it so much I wrote it down and now have it in my study Bible. It is a quote from St. Augustine:
"Therefore seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand."
That has really given a new perspective to my study time. Before if I came across something difficult, I would read it for understanding with an attitude of I'm not sure I can believe this until I understand what God is trying to say. Now I start with an attitude of I AM sure I believe this God because You wrote it, help me to understand.
I have believed God's word for a long time but now I am going to focus more on believing. No wavering, no doubts.
