Whether Therefore Ye Eat or Drink, or Whatsover Ye Do…

I’ve been resisting the desire to write about potty training, because it’s such a non-spiritual issue. Or is it?

Today, Bethel didn’t want to sit on the potty. I’m certain that the problem is a lack of success, and the perceived difficulty of the task. If I can get her to actually stay on the potty, she’ll go, but it takes a long time. I’m trying to decide how much to push her (and truly, that really depends on how tired I am feeling, or how much clutter is around the house). So I started to think about how this struggle of hers could be addressed biblically.

Guess it depends on the motives, but avoiding difficult tasks seems like a spiritual issue. Be not weary in well doing. Ummm…. trying to think of other biblical principles that apply. How does not giving up glorify God?

So what verses/ principles do I think of when I’m facing a difficult task? Maybe I can talk about that.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog, but my greatest desire for my audience is that they would be inspired and motivated to search the scriptures for themselves. God promises to give wisdom to any believer who searches for it His way. Here are some Bible study links I have found of interest and help.

Chronological Bible: ESV

Read the Bible chronologically. The first time I read through the Bible in the order everything happened, I learned so much and gained an incredible understanding of the big picture of Scripture. If you've never done it, you should!

Bible Gateway

From this website you can search for scriptures in a number of versions and languages by key words, phrases, or references. I use this website often when I post Scripture on my blog, so then I don't have to worry about typing in the verse accurately.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

This is a fantastic online version of a classic reference tool. Basically this is a list of cross references based on particular passages. Simply click on the verse or passage you are studying, and you will find other references to other relevant Scripture.

Bible Commentaries Online

A list of classic Bible commentaries. Sometimes they're hard to understand, but they can be helpful when you're wanting more insight into a passage you are studying.
