How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

Have you ever been bird watching?

Well, maybe you're just a casual birdwatcher, noticing birds as they fly in and out of your backyard.

Many birders devote hours patiently waiting to catch a glimpse of a certain bird.

Welcome to Through the Bible where our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, explains how Noah became a bit of a bird watcher during the Great Flood.

I'm Steve Schwetz, inviting you to grab your Bible and turn to Genesis 7, verse 23,

and as you do, I want to mention that May is Letter Month.

Now, years ago, Dr. McGee began this tradition, and what it is is he sets aside a special time

to ask you, our beloved listeners, to write or call and tell us what God's

doing in your life as we study His Word together. So while we do love receiving and sharing your

letters all year long, each May we make a special effort to celebrate them and invite you to

share how God is at work in your life through His Word. Let's start with this one from Robert in Northern California, he writes.

I am so excited.

I made it.

I started my journey on the Bible bus five years ago just as we began Revelation.

I was slipping through my radio in my truck and heard y'all mention that you had just concluded Malachi and would begin Revelation the following day.

So I went up to the house, set up my computer with your app, and prepared everything for the study the next day.

I have faithfully followed every weekday and recently found your Sunday sermons to be awesome.

Thank you so much.

You have brought me back closer to my Lord, and I just love you all so much. You have my monthly

tithe, and the Lord has blessed me so that I am able to give for your gas and tires. Thank you.

May our Lord hold you dear to him. Well, Robert, you are such a valued member of our team. Thank you for
