Hello everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying our "through the bible in a year" trek. today's readings are very interesting. As we continue through Genesis we are beginning to get a picture of Abraham. Pay attention to Abraham for it is to him that God promises to bless the nations, the entire world! Through Abraham and through the nation of Israel God will bring forth salvation for the world. Through this nation, Jesus is promised and Jesus is come! This allows us to understand Matthew and why he talks so much about Jesus "fulfilling" what the prophets said. The Bible makes sense as a whole and the more you read the more you'll understand, though we will always be learning because God's word is living. The Psalms continue to provide us with wonderful reflections on God's care for his people and the punishment of the wicked. God's justice will prevail in the end! Finally, Proverbs is a reading that will continue throughout the year and helps us to stay focused upon the quest for wisdom through the reading of God's word.
