Reflection Questions: What parts of the Bible are the most disturbing for me?  Why?  What do I most need to remember in relation to those passages?  That God’s ways are greater than my ways?  That God used human hands in the writing of scripture?  That the original Bible passages were written in a different culture than our current one?  That this God gets into our messiness with us? Prayer:  Lord, help me to remember that YOUR Word is YOUR word.  It is holy, God-breathed, and authoritative for my life.  Help me to submit to it, even when I do not fully understand it.  Amen.
