Today we’ll start out reading GENESIS
15-16.
Yesterday we heard the stories of Abram and Lot
separating company, and of Abram rescuing Lot in time of war. Then
we heard of the mysterious priest Melchizedek (who we will read
about in the NT in Hebrews).
Before we read JOB 8,
recall that in the preceding two chapters, Job
said some very despairing and angry words, telling God basically to
go take a walk and leave him alone. Job again wished for his own
death.
He said to God,
Job 7:19 GNT Won't you look away
long enough
for me to
swallow my spit?
20 Are
you harmed by my sin, you jailer?
Why use me for your target
practice?
Am I so great a
burden to you?
21 Can't
you ever forgive my sin?
Can't you pardon the wrong I do?
MARK 5b:
Today we read the second half of Mark 5. In the
first part of the chapter, Jesus cast a host of demons out of a man
named Mob or Legion.
