10 Father of Faith

(2007-01-09 21:49:43) 下一个
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. "

神为亚伯拉罕儿子以撒预备了合适的妻子--利百加,也看见那仆人是何等忠心地完成亚伯拉罕的吩咐。 耶和华神所预备的一切何其美好,很感动!

马太福音 8:1-8:17
耶稣充满爱和怜悯之心在百姓中行医病赶鬼的神迹。领受医治神迹的人因信得救。其中百夫长信心非常大,耶稣就照他的信心成全了。
--感谢耶稣基督,“他代替我们的软弱,担当我们的疾病"。

诗篇 9:13-9:20
耶和华已将自己显明了,他已施行审判。
感谢神,你是从死门把我提拔起来的,我当永远地感谢你!

箴言 3:1-3:6
感谢主,我要专心仰赖你,跟随你!今天的箴言要铭记在心----
-不可使慈爱诚实离开你。要系在你颈项上,刻在你心版上。
-你要专心仰赖耶和华,不可倚靠自己的聪明。 在你一切所行的事上,都要认定他,他必指引你的路。

在你没有清楚圣灵的指引之先,你应当继续站在你原来的路上。“神的灵阿,我把选择的责任完全交托给你,求你封闭左道,不让我的脚步走在一切不是神命定的路上。当我偏左倾右的时侯,求你让我听见你的声音。”--- 等候神,单单跟从圣灵的引导。阿门!
寒江雪~ 回复 悄悄话 Thank you for sharing!
~蓑笠翁 回复 悄悄话 Genesis: Agree with Timothy, that is why Abraham is called father of faith. From today's reading, I see how God answer prayers, we should pray more because I think Lord love to hear our voices.

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!
寒江雪~ 回复 悄悄话 Thanks!!
提摩太 回复 悄悄话 Q1. my lord = sir?
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.
寒江雪~ 回复 悄悄话 Genesis 23

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?
寒江雪~ 回复 悄悄话 没关系,知道提摩太也是人不是神:)。谢谢更正.
提摩太 回复 悄悄话 made a terrible mistake, when i said "Poor Isaac didn't know how many seven years ahead of him, yet. :))", it really should have been Isaac's son Jacob. :( that's exactly why i need to read through bible.
