yesterday and today's devotion..

hey guys, here are my devotions for today and yesterday...

yesterday:
what i read: 2 Chronicles 7-8
what i learned: well it is interesting to see how God gives the reminder the Solomon again to tell him if he follows in the same way his father DAvid had followed, that things will turn out alright, and he were to fall away, then there would be repercussions of what his falling out. now it doesn't say where Solomon was at in his relationship with God, it does not mention whether or not he had taken steps to follow or not, but it is evident from 2 kings that Solomon chooses not to follow God in all his decisions and the relationship that he had was broken because of Solomon's pride and his selfishness in all that he had.
what i am going to do: well i got to constantly remember there is always repercussions of sin, it does not mean that God does not forgive us, He does forgive us, but there are repercussions of the wrongs that we do. just like how if we lie, we can be forgiven, but the trust that we had with the person that we lied to could be broken. so i got to always remember that i am a sinner, and possibly take some more time in my life to take the time to reflect and see how i have been sinning.

today:
what i read: 2 Chronicles 9
What i learned: well this is the end of Solomon's reign, and by this time, Solomon's fame has travelled far and wide because of the wisdom that he possessed. as his fame grew, so did his wealth as there were many people who would come seeking after wisdom and willing to pay whatever for it. He was so rich, silver was not even considered worth anything to him because he had so much gold and ivory. it is funny to see how he had all these riches, he actually was so rich, it was like he didn't know what to do with all that wealth, i guess it is a bill gates moment or something, but he was filthy rich and so he had so much, and the question was, what did he ever do for his people with all the wealth? you know it is funny to see in later sections of the Bible how there is a moment where God gets upset because the rich do not help those who are need, could it be because they took the model of Solomon where when they have a lot, to keep it for themselves? interesting...
what i am going to do: i got to remember that with all that i have, that i need to continue to give and continue to be giving not only in money, but in time, in my everything!

Genesis 10

This chapter basically lists off the generations of people after Noah. I didn't really learn much, but I did realize that God blesses us in every situation everywhere. Even after the flood, God continuously blessed Noah's family with more children.

i wonder why these time lines are in the bible. any care to take a crack?
But like Denise I didnt learn much from this chapter. Not much to learn except new baby names.
Today was fun! I really needed to vent out and chilllll (meaning i enjoyed fondling Hannah's hair)
E-Sak oUT

E-Sak. You're such a creeper.

A big fat 'agreed' with Isaac and Dennis in regards to today's passage. I like what Denise brought about bc that hadn't occurred to me.
I enjoyed reading the different names too. All in one breath. Hahaha.
"after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations." What does that part mean? I think I'm missing something..Haha.

Have a great Saturday guys!
