Welcome to Empowered Bible Studies

Bible study is essential to our Christian walk. As we study God's Word, our personal relationship with God grows deeper and deeper. It empowers us to live for the Lord in every aspect of our lives. This is what has inspired me to do an online Bible study.

Many years ago my husband introduced me to a commentary on the book of Colossians and I was so blessed as the Scripture came to life before my very eyes. Since that day we have developed an extensive library and enjoy studying God's Word.

I have prepared some Bible studies that I would like to share with you. My prayer is that they will bless you as much as they have blessed me in preparing them. I pray your life is touched and that it would inspire you to live every moment of every day for Christ.

Being a Sweet Fragrance

 We now come to the Second act of preparation: Ruth was to anoint herself. 

As we look at the Hebrew text for Anoint, we see that it may be used of the ordinary physical process of anointing the body with olive oil and particularly after bathing for especially fragrant effect as we see in Ruth 3:3. It was also often used for medicinal needs.  


My friend, as we pursue our kinsman redeemer we need to make sure that we are living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.  When we are in a deep personal relationship with Jesus Christ walking in His Spirit, we send up a sweet fragrance to our Savior.   Anointing oil speaks of the presence and the working of the a Holy Spirit in our lives.  May our lives be a sweet fragrance acceptable to our Lord.  


We will examine the third act of preparation in our next post.  Until then, have a blessed day.
