I realized today that I'm on page 7 of 1034 in my bible. Probably not going to look at the page numbers again for awhile.
Nov 2: Gen 5-8
We've all heard pastors speak about Noah and the ark but it was still refreshing to read over his story again. The first thing I noticed is God's grief over the state of humanity up til that point. He was so upset about the wickedness of man that "his heart was filled with pain." It wasn't that God was pissed, or just straight up angry. He was more grieved about it than anything and that says a lot to me about his love for us.
The other thing that I've heard of before and noticed again is Noah's faith. If God told me to build a huge boat, what would I do? Probably not what Noah did which was make the boat no questions asked. There's no argument, questioning or indecisiveness. God tells him what to do, and Noah does it. I want to get to that point where I just absolutely trust God with everything. There are so many insecurities in my life and they'll continue to be just that until I can let go and completely trust him. God has provided and blessed me more than I can ask up til this point, why should I think that it'll be any different moving forward?
Random sidenote of the day:
For those of you that don't know, my pops moved to China indefinitely for work. I felt kinda bad that I moved out when I realized that my mom would be home alone and she further reinforced that feeling for me today.
Reason #1 I feel bad about moving out:
Mom has been watching TV on SAP the past 3 days and didn't know why they were speaking spanish.

ReplyDeleteLOL hilarious and sad at the same time about your mom.
ReplyDeleteWhen you read or think about Noah, everyone always remembers the rainbow. But in reality thats just a part of it the grief and justice of God is so much more powerful, but we always want to just see the lovey dovey stuff.
omg... WOW your mom
