Welcome to an intriguing day of reading. I hope we have LOTS of questions and comments today.
Genesis begins with a dialog between Abraham and God. It's a fascinating window into a part of God's character. I received a new insight about the conversation and God's agreement to spare the city with a certain number of righteous people there. Could it be that the presence of just ten righteous ones in the midst of such evil could be enough to turn the whole city around? What do you see? What do you question? At the same time that Abe is interceding on the mountain, a spiritual war rages in the valley. No doubt you will be amazed and perplexed by what happens in Lot's house. Did you notice his fear? He was afraid of the mountains; he was afraid of the people of Zoar. After they leave the city, some things happen in his family that are almost beyond our imagination. Read and let us know what you think.
Matthew today is still from the Sermon on the Mount. You will find it both comforting and challenging. Jesus' words about God's love and provision deeply moved me. Do you have questions about what He says? Comments?
Psalms. This passage flies in the face of the idea that we are essentially no different than the animals.
Proverbs. Again, it's as if wisdom is speaking directly to us. In today's reading, wisdom points to God as the Author.So, fire away! What do you see? What do you question? What do you wonder?
