Oops! I got to the patio a little late this morning, due to the cuddly covers on my bed and soft cushioning pillow under my head. I hit the hay with hip pain last night and couldn’t get comfortable. Seconds after I closed my eyes I got a text from Hubs informing me that it was too dangerous to be outside at night. His alone spot to use the internet is outside at a pavillion. This was a delayed message from earlier in the day. Between tossing and praying, I closed my lids for good a little past 1am. So due to my lack of “get up and go” this morning I missed that “perfect” morning sunrise and cool breeze.
Reading my bible under the umbrella, my upper lip beaded with sweat I gave the Lord a quick call out in prayer then gathered my stuff and headed indoors. I brought God with me 🙂 continuing our talk.
Turning the pages of my bible NIV version, while soaking up the AC can’t get any better than this. Today I read the story of Noah. Pondering and reflecting on Chp6 titled The Flood. I look at verse 5 where the Lord saw how wicked man had become, he found EVERY thought in mans heart to be evil ALL the time. It was so bad that God grieved that he had even made man on earth, his heart was filled with pain.
My first thought, I’m shocked that every man, except for Noah vs 8&9 had let evil consume them to the point where there was NO good found in them. My second thought, God’s heart was broken and he destroyed them and not just them but the earth and animals too! My third thought, begins with Way to Go Noah! which ends in how on earth did Noah stay cooped up in that Ark for almost a year with his family and stinky animals!!!
I have deeper thoughts on all of this to share in a later blog, but as you read you see I am no theological scholar, just a simple girl with a HUGE love and desire to know my God better and to follow HIM.
I encourage you to pick up a bible and read Genesis 6 and share your thoughts on this chapter with me.
