54 days down, 311 to go.

Today’s scriptures for my Read the Bible in a Year plan are Leviticus 14:1-57; Mark 6:30-56; Psalms 40:1-10; Proverbs 10:11-12.

My thoughts from today’s reading:

1. THE EVASIVE BALANCE OF WORKING AND WAITING
2. OBEDIENCE IS TRUE SACRIFICE
3. JESUS FEEDS 5,000
4. YOU GOT THAT MOLD?

1. THE EVASIVE BALANCE OF WORKING AND WAITING
Psalm 40:1-2
1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,
      and he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
      out of the mud and the mire.
   He set my feet on solid ground
      and steadied me as I walked along.

Part of obeying God, as discussed in number 1 above, waiting on His guidance and leading. This doesn’t mean that you sit on your butt and don’t do anything until a voice from heaven booms into your bedroom and tells you to go west with a brail version of the King James Bible. (Although, if this does happen, you better do it. Just ask Eli.)

God has a purpose for each of us, something significant He has for us to do with our time on this earth. However, not only does He have a purpose for us, He also has a timeline.

The conundrum that we usually found ourselves in, however, is that we often discover our purpose way before we learn God’s timeline for us to achieve it.

"In the 13th Psal 15 days down, 350 to go.

Today’s scriptures for my Read the Bible in a Year plan are Genesis 31:17 – 32:12; Matthew 10:24 – 11:6; Psalms 13:1-6; Proverbs 3:16-18.

Here are my thoughts for you to chew on or….you know.

1.       THE BABY IN THE MANGER GREW UP
2.       REJOICE THROUGH YOUR ANGUISH
3.       MORE FAMILY DRAMA IN JACOB’S LIFE
4.       PEOPLE ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN ANIMALS

 
1. THE BABY IN THE MANGER GREW UP
I would venture to say that the two most popular images of Jesus Christ are him in the manger as a baby, and him on the cross.

However, between his birth and death, Jesus became the most powerful person in history; but not in physical, political, industrial or religious might. In fact, of the most powerful and influential people in history, none have never been able to

Day 4 down, 361 to go. Today’s scriptures were Genesis 8:1 – 10:32; Matthew 4:12-25; Psalms 4:1-8; and Proverbs 1:20-23.

Here are my thoughts for the day.

WHO WANTS TO BE A JOYLLIONAIRE?
Psalm 4:7 – God gives joy money cannot buy. Carnal pleasure is an endless pursuit. Jesus. That's my final the answer.

I’M A FOOL AND I LIKE IT!
Proverbs 1:20-23 – God seeks to give wisdom to the fool, but the fool relishes in his foolishness, refusing wisdom and correction. How many people today continue to relish in their sin and foolishness, embracing it, holding it like a lover?

MAD MAX MEETS THE PASSION
MEETS CLASH OF THE TITANS
The account in Genesis chapter 8 of the three sons of Noah, going off into the ancient new world after the flood to reboot civilization, and all the different tribes, cultures, languages and empires that resulted sounds like an awesome epic movie. Someone needs to make it. Maybe we will. Think Mad Max meets the Passion meets Clash of the Titans…or something like that.
