Just returned from a thrilling vacation out in nature with my family. My sons were both baptised in Lake Martin! They had witnessed a depiction of the events which led to the cross (renacted by college students) and each of them with tender hearts pleaded to be baptised. "It's the perfect place!" my eldest son proclaimed. It was!
A portion of this morning's reading was shared with my youngest son since he gets up early and joins me. He wasn't ready to quit at chapter 16! I suppose I need to find the section for the Children's Survey of the Bible in 90 days. I didn't sign up for it. Hopefully it isn't too late.
There were several parts of today's reading that stopped me with questions. Genesis always does make me wonder about so much. But, it is good to speed past the questions on toward the edges of this vast portrait of God...so I don't get bogged down with the trees and miss the proverbial forest!
A couple things which would not have jumped off the page had I stopped with chapter 2 or 3 as you would do in a typical reading plan, was the fact that God led Abram to the land of Canaan where the people who were living under the curse of their father's sin lived. This proves once again that for every discipline God metes out---inherent in that discipline is the great love of the Father. Somewhere else in the Bible it says that God chastens those he loves. Abram's willingness to go and be an evangelist by living in the land where rebellious people who had left Adam's God, Jehovah, to run from God--- simply amazes me. He (Abraham)is so much like God.
Now to figure out how to link my blog to my mentor Sue's blog.
