I have fallen behind in the last few days and am now catching up. The following is a hodgepodge (how is that for an ol' fashioned word? :) of thoughts I had this morning.
Matthew 21: 21-22 -- What am I believing for today? Again this concept of the level of your belief being fulfilled is so striking. It says also that the disciples were amazed...again. I wonder, if the disciples are still amazed at this point...does that mean they are still not expecting Jesus to work miracles? I would hope that if I had been walking with Jesus for...however long it had been at this point, that I would be delighted to be seeing Jesus perform miracles, but not amazed. Does that not imply some level of disbelief?
Matthew 21: 23-27 -- They did not have the courage to stand behind their question/conviction that Jesus was a fake and therefore were not rewarded with life-giving truth.
Genesis 25: 29-34 -- Proof again that we can make the dumbest decisions based on our momentary and immediate desires. Esau throws away his future and birthright based on his stomach. How easy it would be to judge that except for the fact that I know I have done variations on the same theme over and over again.
Genesis 26: 6-11 -- Isaac repeating the actions of his father in saying that Rebekah was his sister and not wife. Hmmmm....perhaps that actions of parents rub off on their children? Hence, the sins of the fathers are repeated upon their sons.
