Okay I had lofty aspirations of blogging daily during this 90 day Bible challenge, but, I've not done that. I'm okay with that. Normally I'd be down on myslef for not blogging. I've actually enjoyed not blogging at all the last couple of weeks.
I continue to read but I am almost 6 days behind the "schedule" Again I'm okay with that. Normally I'd b e down on myself or feel rushed to complete more pages in a day than humanily possible. Instead I continue to plug along & get the reading in that I can when I can. Some days its 20 pages & others its 5. I've already read more of the bible (at least the Old Testament) than I've ever read before. I mean other than at church. More importantly I'm craving God's word in my day. That was my goal in taking on this challenge & even if it takes me 100 or more days to read the entire bible cover to cover, I'm okay with that if it emans that God's word is planted deeply in my heart.
Randomness:
-Any one count the number of animals slaughtered at the temple. I serioulsy think there must have been a lot of blood flowing. I'm very grateful we don't have to do that anymore.
- God created the sun & moon and stars to mark the days and seasons, etc. bascially creating time. God is outside of time,& doesn't need time, but, he created time for us so that we would have a means to mark the passage of it. He knew before he created us that we would sin & we would need time to gives us hope & encouragement that our deliver is coming. Just a random thought I had the other day when contemplating the awesomness of God.
- Another random thougth that came up at a retreat I recently attended, Eve wasn't startled by the fact that a serpent came up to her & started talking. Not even a bit afraid. In fact the Bible suggests that other animals were may have also been cunning because it states "now the serpent was more cunning than all the others" Just wondering before the fall were Adam & Eve able to converse with the animals.
Guess thats all for now.
