6th Jan Bible Reading
I dunno about you, but i'm sick of the times when i say "i love God", but i have no idea what that actually constitutes. When i say "God is good", i want to know what i mean by that. I don't desire to have an airy fairy christianity just repeating and saying and doing what others are doing... i want a real relationship with God, a real alive relationship so that when i sing "the God i know", i truly know who He is. :)
That was just a bunch of honest ramblings... and really, at this point of time in my christian walk, i'm still looking at the bible and thinking, "wow". How bout you? :) What makes you read the Word of God? :)
Anyways... today's bible reading has been interesting. (It always is... haha!) :)
Genesis chapters 7-9, tells of Noah during the flood and after it. Hmmm... what's your idea of the flood? :) I remember Shaunster sharing this before - Noah's ark can be likened to Jesus. :) Nice idea, here's my elaboration on it (better say mine, cos i cant totally remember 100% what he say about it)... Well Jesus saves everything in Him, everything outside Him perishes. :) But God's provision of that salvation is just amazing... :) Thoughts thoughts? :) This can be daybreak scratching the surface first lesson (Fall of man and salvation...) but taken to a deeper level. :)
Of course, when i reached Matthew 3 i smiled widely. :) John the Baptist. :) Haha... remember one of our focus this year is really to be the prophetic voice... to prepare for the way of Jesus and to usher the revival in this year. To point the way to Jesus for others, by being an example in our living and proclamations to them. To say "change your life, God's Kingdom is here!". Hah oki enough about this... i can really talk about it a lot, but probably the long elaboration would come in the chapter that records John the Baptist's death. :) Today my thoughts were more about water baptism... wheee... oki i remember hearing a sermon about that before... well, i have one whole entire day to try to catch that sermon about water baptism... i'll take down notes and then come comment back here k! :)
-- Your happy overseer cos God is good (Psalm 84:1-2, "What a beautiful home, God of the Angel Armies! I've always longed to live in a place like this, always dreamed of a room in your house, where i could sing for joy to God-alive!")
