In today’s Catholic Bible Study I found a couple of items to list. Sometimes, I find it helpful to pull a list out of the verses I’m reading; it breaks the text down to its simplest, bare-bones, no fluff words, form.
Not to imply the Scriptures contain fluff words! But when I’m trying to understand a passage, I can get caught up in too many words or details. If I can simplify the passage to a few bullet points or a list, it helps me separate the main points.
Ah, I love today’s Catholic Bible Study because it highlights the importance of what we say and believe!

I have to read them, hear them, know them to store them. Prayer, Lord I pray for a long and satisfying life.
Then you will find favor with both God and people and you will gain a good reputation.
I don’t want favor with man without favor with God first! My good reputation comes from my favor with God.
