Genesis 24:52-27:46
Matthew 8:18-9:17
Psalms 10:1-18
Proverbs 3:7-10
I love days like today when I hear God speak to me...It is hard to explain how I hear him. It is not like he is an audible voice but more like a thought that runs through my mind over and over till I hear Him. (He is patient with me cause he knows I'm a little slow) I use to doubt if it was Him or just me wanting to think God was speaking to. Now I know...It is Him. He has wisdom beyond what my poor mind could ever imagine. I am so blessed that I all I have to do is ask Him to share with me and He does. Just like if Tyler or Logan were to ask me to share what I know with them. He wants to help me just like I have the desire to help my children.
Genesis 25:18
Poor Ishmael. He did not ask to be born the way he was but yet he must suffer the mistakes of his father. He lived such a hostile life and it continues through his blood line.
Genesis 26:7
See a common theme here? His father, Abraham, said the same thing of his wife Sarah.
I thought I have had during reading today is "like father like son".
Matthew 8:22
When I first read this it bothered me. It seemed like Jesus was being a bit heartless about this man who had just lost his father. The disciple ask could he bury his father and Jesus said "Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead" In the Jewish faith burying your father was very important...But Jesus denied him this comfort...I read it several times with the same result...I was upset with Jesus. I KNOW!! PLEASE BEAR WITH ME....I had to stop and really pray about this. I'm sure the Bible shouldn't evoke feelings of anger towards the only Man who has walked sinless on this earth and gave HIS life for ME. (THIS IS WHERE HE SPOKE TO ME)
You must pick, NOW... do what is the "norm" and makes you feel good or to follow ME and know it is not the path of ease.
He demands so much from me and demands it NOW. Not after I do what the world says brings comfort, but NOW! When I feel like I should be turning somewhere else, NOW, TURN and follow Him. He just keeps saying NOW to me. " I know it is hard, I know it is not what all your friends are doing, I know it will bring you pain but NOW is the time!"
He needs me to follow Him now, just like he needed that disciple right that SECOND to follow Him. What is being lost because I wait? Is my place being filled by someone else who doesn't hesitate? I understand now...He is not heartless but doesn't want me to wait ONE MORE SECOND!!
Matthew 8:29
Demons KNOW the Son of God and of his powers!!! I LOVE THIS!!!
Matthew 9:2
Take heart son, your sins are forgiven
He said this first instead of Get up and walk so people would question his authority to forgive sins like the Father. He was showing that He is His Father and His Father is Him.
I don't want anyone to read what I write and be offended. I would never want that...when I write I don't stop until the words stop. Here is where I sort it out...The love I have for my Father is amazing and unfaltering BUT he is different with me than he is with you. What I mean by that is he will make me feel anger, where he might make you cry. He knows me well enough to know if he makes me mad during reading His Word, than he has hit a nerve and I am open to hear what He needs for me to know. If I have offended you please accept my apologies from here on out.
LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Heather
