Crossroads

 There’s a difference between biting off more than you can chew and realizing that a meal will take longer to finish than you first expected. When it comes to our study of the Book of Job, it’s more the latter than the former. It’s not that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew, but it's taking longer to go through than I initially expected. This is not a bad thing; it’s just the reality of the situation.

By my estimation, we’re about halfway through our study of Job, and it has become evident that it will need to be split into two volumes, lest I compete with a complete set of the Encyclopedia Britannica in terms of size.

I am somewhat torn as to how we proceed from here, so I will leave the choice up to you. The choice is binary, as most things in life are. I’ve been working on an outline for a series on prayer, which I believe will be a worthwhile exploration into the value and indispensable need for a robust and consistent prayer life, that I plan on combining with the study on fasting we did some months back and making it into a book.

The choice before you is to either take a break from Job and proceed with the study on prayer, then return to Job once that study is completed, or to continue on our journey through the book of Job until its finality, which will likely be another six months if not longer. Since I can’t decide, I’ll let you do it for me.

Please comment either Job or Prayer, and once we have the tally sorted out, I’ll know how to proceed. I don’t like being indecisive, but I’m struggling with this decision. I pray you understand.

With love in Christ,
