Job 11-13 Zophar adds that, not only must Job be guilty of something, but that God must be going easy on him! Job’s friends refuse to consider that Job might indeed be innocent, because they ...
Day 12 – Job 8-10; Matt 9:1-17Day 12 – Job 8-10; Matt 9:1-17
Job 8-10 Bildad is making some hard assumptions about how God works – He will do this and He won’t do that – but who are we to assume we know the ways of God? ...
Day 11 – Job 5-7; Matt 8:18-34Day 11 – Job 5-7; Matt 8:18-34
Job 5-7 I am beginning to think that the purpose for the book of Job is so that we will not speak to our friends who are suffering in the way that Job’s friends spoke ...
Day 10 – Job 3-4; Matt 8:1-17Day 10 – Job 3-4; Matt 8:1-17
Job 3-4 Job is a difficult book…and it’s hard to find application in the bits and pieces of it (rather than the whole). Knowing the end of this story, I will say that one thing ...
Day 9 – Job 1-2; Matt 7Day 9 – Job 1-2; Matt 7
Job 1-2 Evidently, we are moving through the Bible chronologically, because we have jumped to Job (which they believe was written sometime during this period in Genesis). And yeah, wow – in one single hour, ...
Day 8 – Gen 20-22; Matt 6:19-34Day 8 – Gen 20-22; Matt 6:19-34
Gen. 20-22 Sometimes I just have questions! Did Abimelech know who God was? Why did he consider taking another man’s wife a sin? How long had this gone on (how would they know all the ...
Day 7 – Gen 18-19; Matt 6:1-18Day 7 – Gen 18-19; Matt 6:1-18
Gen. 18-19 So much to note here! First, Abraham and Sarah waited an additional 13 years (at least 23 now) before Sarah became pregnant – patience!!! Another thing about God – He loves to wait ...
Day 6 – Gen 16-17; Matt 5:27-48Day 6 – Gen 16-17; Matt 5:27-48
Gen. 16-17 Ten years Abram and Sarai waited for God to fulfill His promise of a son to them. Ten years…and they grew impatient – or perhaps just anxious and confused. Either way, they began ...
Day 5 – Gen 13-15; Matt 5:1-26Day 5 – Gen 13-15; Matt 5:1-26
Gen. 13-15 In Gen 9:25-26, God cursed Canaan (Ham’s descendants) and blessed Shem, giving his descendants rule over Ham’s descendants. In the last part of Gen 15, God makes a covenant with one of Shem’s ...
Day 4 – Gen 10-12; Matt 4Day 4 – Gen 10-12; Matt 4
Genesis 10-12 and Matthew 4 – It seems all I have from today’s reading is a bunch of questions! Among them, did Noah’s sons have children before boarding the Ark (they were almost 100 years ...
Day 3 – Gen 7-9; Matt 3Day 3 – Gen 7-9; Matt 3
Today’s reading: Gen. 7-9 and Matt 3. God’s design is so evident in the story of the flood! All the creatures came onto the Ark by twos – male and female – and they departed ...
Day 2 – Gen 4-6; Matt 2Day 2 – Gen 4-6; Matt 2
Today was Gen. 4-6 and Matt. 2. Again with the trusting obedience! Did Noah even know what rain was, let alone a flood? Makes me think of Colton Dixon’s song, “Build a Boat” – ” ...
DAY 1 – Gen 1-3; Matt 1DAY 1 – Gen 1-3; Matt 1
I read the first 3 chapters of Genesis and Matthew Ch. 1 today (I am using the ESV version). I guess if I have to pin down something impressed upon me from it, it would ...
