To summarize what I am doing, every day I am writing from my journal my views, takes and questions on some of the passages that I have read about from the One Year Bible. I list all the passages for that day even though I don't comment on all of them every day, If you started on Jan 01 at the end of the year you will have read the bible cover to cover and that is what I am going to do. I hope you enjoy it has been a life changing experience for me as the words of the Bible are truly awesome. It is our official launch of our church on Sunday January 17th at the Knights of Columbus in Emeryville at the rear. Northshore Community Church being lead by Pastor Dan Velade please join us for great fellowship and prayer.
Genesis 28:1-29:35
Here is the lineage that I understand it to be Adam & Eve --- Cane& Abel --- Abraham --- Isaac & Ishmael--- Esau & Jacob up to this point. There seems to be constant conflict between the sets of brothers right from the beginning. Cain & Abel, Isaac& Ishmael and Esau&Jacob , a common trend also seems to be that the stronger and older always seem to come out on the short end of the stick. Outwardly stronger doesn't necessarily translate into being spiritually stronger or having more faith, your natural birthright(being first born) is always trumped by Gods design and his will. Do these passages also emphasize that family bonds are secondary to the Lord and his will.
Matthew 9:18-38
These passages start out with more miraculous works of healing by Jesus even woke a girl from death, news of this spreads throughout the countryside. The girl that he healed was the daughter of a leader of a synagogue, this shows regardless of background all are open to Jesus Christs love. In his speakings a truly powerful point is when he says "the harvest is great, but the workers are few. The "harvest is great" refers to Gods, word , love. mercy , strength etc and indeed it is great but there aren't enough people spreading his word, not enough of us "working"
Proverbs 3:11-12
This prover is about accepting God's punishment and directions as not as negatives, if he disciplines us we need to remember as we might discipline our own children whom we love deeply.
