A Chronological Bible Reading 16 Entering the Ark

 Genesis 6:22-7:9

Some observations:

• When God saw Noah, he saw righteousness.
• Lamech was Noah's father.
• He died 5 years before Noah entered the ark
• Noah was when born when Adam was still alive.
• Noah lived about 126 years before Adam died. 

I just have to stop and think about what Noah could have learned from Adam. It did not seem like anyone was paying any attention to the things of God, except Noah.

I think this is so fascinating!

God's Wrath - Day 57

 

Jeremiah 33:23 - Jeremiah 47:7

 

          Israel is provoking God to anger.

 

"Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers." Jeremiah 44:3

 

 

          With the works of their hands they are provoking God to wrath.

 

"In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?"

Jeremiah 44:8

 

 

          God will correct his people over time.

 

 

"Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished." Jeremiah 46:28

 

 

          I am just overwhelmed with the immensity of God's power and his wrath on his own people. It just makes me so thankful that I will not have to face it myself. I am glad I am on the winning side.



Thanks to Calvary - Day 54

 

Isaiah 66:19 - Jeremiah 10:13

 

          The people are just purposely walking around doing their own thing.

 

"The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit." Jeremiah 2:8

 

          They didn't believe the Lord was going to punish them for their sins.

 

"They have belied the Lord, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:" Jeremiah 5:12

 

 

          They loved sin.

 

"The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?" Jeremiah 5:31

 

          Even the pastors did not care enough to tell the truth and guide people in the way of the Lord.

 

"For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the Lord: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered." Jeremiah 10:21

 

 

 

          I do not know God's wrath. We do not know God's wrath. We have been under grace and mercy because of Jesus. They had seen his wrath but they did not care. I want to serve God even though I will never see his wrath. Thanks to Calvary.

 

 

 

 

 



God Is In Control ~ Day 40

Today's reading Psalms 25:1 - 45:14

"But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me." Palms 40:17 KJB

There are different men writing the psalms at the point. Psalms 25-40 are written by David. He was pleading a lot for deliverance from his enemies. He did not want them to have the last laugh on his life. David spoke about betrayal from men he once thought of as friends (41:9). He wants the wicked punished. He also saw how frail he was (39:4). If the Lord did not deliver him he was going to be in trouble.

The song, I Need Thee, comes to my mind. I am lost with out God. I need to rely on the Lord for everything. I need to allow God to work in my life when others do me wrong, let God take care of it.

Such Victories, Such Sorrows~Day 18

Today's reading Judges 3:28-Judges 15:12

"...didn't I deliver you?" Judges 10:11 KJB

Up to a hilltop victory, down to the valley of sorrow. Up to a victory, down to sorrow. On and on. They did not get it. Obeying the Lord was in their best interest but they kept forsaking God.

The Lord has promised never to leave us or forsake us and I am very thankful that he keeps his word. I never have to wonder where my Lord is.

I am just like the Israelites when I stray. I need to very quickly get back to where the Lord needs me to be. That is where the blessings are. That is where the true comfort lies.
