Today is the day to begin!
As you read today let me give you some things to look for and think about.
1. Were all of Jesus ancestors pure blooded Israelites?
2. How many generations were in between Abraham to David and David to Jesus?
3. Try to find a characteristic from one of the participants in this history, that you find honorable and worthy to be emulated.
4. I see two very different moods among God's people at the coming of Christ. One mood by those who knew the Christ was born and another mood among those who did not.
I look forward to seeing your comments as we Walk through the Gospels together.
Lord, I ask for understanding as we read Your Word. I beg you, Holy Spirit to open our Spiritual eyes so that we may learn life, godliness, and how to live out holiness. Give us endurance to read everyday, faithfulness to stick to the commitment, and a mind to remember to do it. Be magnified in our lives, Oh Holy God, by the showing of Yourself to us. Jesus be real to us as we read about your descent into humanity.
In that precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
AMEN

what a great way to spend the 40 days before Easter... instead of "giving something up" as many do this time of year I am going to become closer to my Savior!
ReplyDeleteThings that strike me:
ReplyDelete1. reading that people were filled with the Holy Ghost. We are so spoiled! I want to do a better job LISTENING to Him.
2. I don't think that I had ever read Mary's prayer in Luke 1:46-55. WOW! What a woman of faith. What a high view of God. She had that "first love"
3. Joseph was made of the same stuff as Mary. What great faith. Total abandoned obedience.
GOD IS GOOD
