“Why did John live out in the wilderness? Prophets used the isolation of the uninhabited wilderness to enhance their spiritual growth and to focus their message on God.

He also remained separate from the hypocritical religious leaders of his day. His message was different from theirs, and his life proved it.” - Life Application Study Bible, Luke 1 ❤️

I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!” Revelation 3:14-16 NLT

Do you write inside your books? Since January 2025 my life has been filled with two studies each week. I write in the margins, underline great thoughts, and place hearts on my favorites. I love looking back and seeing how my life has changed, and hopefully yours too. For God’s glory, He will shine 💕
