Continuation

Continuation.... So I posted that blog last night. Then I started reading more scripture after that Jeremiah one came into my mind. I wrote an email to a friend. Here is what I said.... I was reading when I was sitting in the kitchen since that is where I left my Bible this morning. So I was reading something... then I was reading something else which lead me to Isaiah 45 (continuing reference scripture lists suck me in for ever... it's a never ending chain somedays). Anyways... vs. 2.. there is the bronze and iron again. Vs.5- "I have strengthened you though you have not acknowledged ME" WOW... that reminds me of what I just wrote in my blog tonight. Which in that I used Jeremiah 29:11 which is the first in the chain that lead me to this chapter. Here is what I wrote... "In retrospect......... (see yesterday's blog)" Anyways.... then vs 6. Talking about the sun rising and setting. I still think there is something to where it rises and where it sets... as far as directionally. Then vs 7... "I bring prosperity and create disaster". That made me think of what you were saying a couple of months ago about forces of nature and that being God touching the earth. That just blows a person away to think about. But also then for our wimpy human minds to wrap itself around the fact He does this... yet somehow we aren't all just mindless pawns in all of this. Otherwise what would be the point of ever praying?? Then vs 9 He lays it on the line and tells us to sit down, shut up and trust Him. Yet... Jude 1:20, III John 1:2, I Peter 4:7-8, James 5:13-19, Hebrews 13:18-19, I Thes 5:16-18, Romans 12:11-13, John 17:20-21 and Luke 22:45-46.... and that barely scratches the surface in the New Testiment. Try 365 (in the NIV--- 362 in the NASB) references total to pray, prayer etc. Yeah... explain that one in laymans terms right after you explain the Trinity to someone. Ok.. there is like a ton more in this chapter but I have to go get ready for bed now. Oh and vs 23-24 are like one of the well known ones too... also interesting to really mentally digest. ------------------------------------------------- The Bible is so cool. there is soooooo much in there that you can never digest it all in a lifetime. How many other books could you say that about???!!!
