FISH - Scripture reflections
I hope you are still pursuing reading the Bible through this year. Sorry that I have been behind in my sharing insights with you!
Exodus 19-21: We often are dazzled by God’s appearance on the mountain, but blip past the laws that begin to be laid out in Ex. 21. But think about this: God knows us well. He could have given an edict “DO RIGHT!” and expected us to figure it out. The law was given as an act of mercy - to provide clarity. It teaches us the right thing to do in given situations - even when an ox gores a slave. God was protecting His community from needless squabbling.
Psalm 30: Give God thanks for all His favor!
Matthew 13: The parable of the sower. I pray God will help me deepen my roots of faith so I will produce much fruit.
Acts 18:18- 19: Paul excelled at developing leaders and trusting them. He then went on to the next assignment.
The riot at Ephesus: Whenever there is money to make in religion, truth always comes in second.
