Today's Reading
Judges. Today begins the story of Samson. It is an account of tragedy and heroism. One note: the "angel of the Lord" was almost certainly God Himself taking on human form. Throughout Scripture, angels never accept worship from people because they, too, are created beings. This person accept the worship of Samson's parents.
John describes these early encounters with Jesus with growing awareness that He was Messiah. I am riveted by the descriptions and what must have been going on in the minds of these first followers.
Psalms. One thing I like about this chapter is how it looks forward to a day when masses of people are together worshiping the Lord. May it happen in our generation!
Proverbs. These two verses describe what it's like to work with our Stone Ridge Elders. Please join me in gratitude for them.

Do you realize how circular your reasoning is when you say "the 'angel of the Lord' was almost certainly God Himself taking on human form. Throughout Scripture, angels never accept worship from people because they, too, are created beings."? The angel of the Lord must be God because this angel was being worship, but well, angels are never worshiped, therefore, I guess, umm, this is no normal angel. So, hmmm, oh, I know! This angel is God! Makes perfect sense...
