1. Abraham, father of the faith, promised to be father of nations, didn't even have a piece of land to bury his wife. I asked myself if I could still walk with the LORD if I were Abraham. It just seemed hopeless after so many years, none of the covenant was realized. Yet Abraham kept walking with the LORD, no matter what. Everything went perfectly for Isaac and Rebekah today. :) Poor Isaac didn't know how many seven years ahead of him, yet. :))
2. There was a secret disclosed by Jesus today. The secret was that many pagans will join Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the kingdom of heaven. The bad news was many Isralites by birth will be thrown out. What a firm and encouraging message!
3. Rejoice in your salvation, o LORD!
4. I'd like to join Mike in memorizing Prov. 3:5-6:
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. "
神為亞伯拉罕兒子以撒預備了合適的妻子--利百加,也看見那仆人是何等忠心地完成亞伯拉罕的吩咐。 耶和華神所預備的一切何其美好,很感動!
馬太福音 8:1-8:17
耶穌充滿愛和憐憫之心在百姓中行醫病趕鬼的神跡。領受醫治神跡的人因信得救。其中百夫長信心非常大,耶穌就照他的信心成全了。
--感謝耶穌基督,“他代替我們的軟弱,擔當我們的疾病"。
詩篇 9:13-9:20
耶和華已將自己顯明了,他已施行審判。
感謝神,你是從死門把我提拔起來的,我當永遠地感謝你!
箴言 3:1-3:6
感謝主,我要專心仰賴你,跟隨你!今天的箴言要銘記在心----
-不可使慈愛誠實離開你。要係在你頸項上,刻在你心版上。
-你要專心仰賴耶和華,不可倚靠自己的聰明。 在你一切所行的事上,都要認定他,他必指引你的路。

在你沒有清楚聖靈的指引之先,你應當繼續站在你原來的路上。“神的靈阿,我把選擇的責任完全交托給你,求你封閉左道,不讓我的腳步走在一切不是神命定的路上。當我偏左傾右的時侯,求你讓我聽見你的聲音。”--- 等候神,單單跟從聖靈的引導。阿門!
Matthew: Faith is the BINGO word! Also, Jesus came to the earth to HEAL people...I am one of them.
Proverbs: Really really like this paragraph! Very good reading today!
Q2. canaanites worship their own gods
Q3. well, do you still remember the 1st day reading? In the beginning... And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light... God can create the universe with his words. And we also read "Is anything so hard for God?". hope this helps.
5 The Hittites replied to Abraham, 6 "Sir, listen to us.
11 "No, my lord," he said. "Listen to me;
14 Ephron answered Abraham, 15 "Listen to me, my lord;
Q: Why they call Abraham "my lord"?
Genesis 24
Q:Why Abraham didn't want to get a wife from his son from the daughters of the Canaanites.
Proverbs 3
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
- I always try to understand first but always have something couldn't understand. i.e. in today's reading, Matthew 8, it talked about Jesus healed someone by his words only... How do you accept these?
