When God asks

As I began reading Genesis 12, the first two verses talk about when God asks Moses to "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you." Stop right there. How many of us would just jump on the offer to leave everything and everyone we know to somewhere, just somewhere, no details. Umm, not me! Now thankfully the next verse goes on to tell Moses that if He follows these frightening instructions, "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing". When you tag all that on, the offer sounds a little bit more encouraging, but STILL, leave everything and go SOMEWHERE!

This brings to mind a new resolution for myself. Be willing to leave whatever behind and go wherever and do whatever God ask. He deserves my obedience no matter how frightening the idea may be.

How about you? Any New Years resolutions you've got going?

My three major ones are
1. Get into nursing school and pass the first semester.
2. Be healthier
3. Read the Bible through. A big one for me, I've tried many times and always failed.

Think about it

As I begin another year of trying to read through the Bible entirely (every attempt has failed), the thought comes to mind about how much it irritates me when someone says God can't do anything bad. I think we have some definitions mixed up. To be clear, God CANNOT do anything EVIL. Evil: against the law of God. However, per our definition of bad (something unpleasant, uncomfortable, or inconvenient for us), I dare say He can do bad (only by that definition).

My opinion is backed by stories such as Cain's curse, the flood, etc. these were a result of evil, not evil themselves. However, at the time, I'm sure they seemed Bad!

Happy 2013 y'all
