Rebekkah had written all these references down on the inside cover of her Bible. That was several years ago, when she’d attended a Bible study. She had been given the verses to look up and she had written them down, but she hadn’t looked them up. What the Bible study teacher said that following week really convicted her …emphasizing the importance of truly seeking Him. How can we say we are truly seeking Him if we don’t even find the time. Rebekkah realizes that she is often guilty of this very thing. And it is mostly when we want something, like Rebekkah does now, that we more wholly turn to Him.

   Rebekkah admits to God that she wants Him to show her that Crazy Larry had been here.  But that would only be a stepping stone to her eventually finding Stephen. That is a good thing to ask of God, is it not?
                   
   The Bible study teacher had further recommended that we continually evaluate how well we are following Jesus.  Often, in actuality, once we profess a commitment to follow Him, we seem to expect Him to bless us  as He follows us …instead of following Him as we are supposed to.
                   
   The Bible study teacher was correct.  The Bible study teacher was usually correct.  The Bible study teacher was …Fernye.
