Day 4

Gen
When the rain stopped and the wind started, I wonder what was happening from a meterological standpoint. I've read/heard lots of explanations for lots of Bible stuff, but not this one. Wonder about the germination time of an olive.

Honest confession: I did a bit of speed reading through the "begat"s. It says the world was divided during Peleg's life. Wonder if that was when the major plate shifts caused the continents.

Matt
"I will make you fishers of men" I've been around some powerful spiritual people. I wonder if the spiritual power of Jesus made it not weird for Him to say such a weird? dumb? thing to these rough, blue collar working men OR if there is some sort of Jewish idiom I don't know.

James and John, sons of Thunder. Anger management issues? Complete with a pushy mom. It's encouraging to me that John became known as the beloved. Hope for trasformation of my pushy broad, big-mouth self.

Wow, no wonder they brought sick people to Jesus. Can you imagine being healed of epilepsy or paralysis in that backward medical day?

Ps
I've quoted v8 for years to help me get to sleep. Nice to see an old friend.
V1..I appreciate seeing this dilemma I often feel. ..the request to answer me when I call [am I hearing some panic here?] although you can give evidence of being rescued before. I know it helps me to remember when God has rescued me before, but it still takes the decision to remember. I'm embarrassed that I don't have the unshakable, automatic confidence that God will either teach me or rescue me. I know what color my hair will be when I look in the mirror. I want that sort of confidence. I've proven to myself that I'll seek Him out. I have only "quote the verse" confidence not "heart confidence" that I'll be rescued. Isn't that the way this Christian walk is supposed to be?

Once again, these readings all tie in together. V23 ties it all up. Well, I AM seeking Wisdom. Please, make your words KNOWN to me.
