Genesis 50
Well this took longer than I thought…I stared reading reading through the Bible, to get a little context on th e whole thing on August 25,2009. And now five months later I have made it through one whole book.
At this pace I am going to have to live as long as Methuselah to make it through to Revelation.
The good (and bad, I guess) news about Genesis is that is have some of the greatest hits of the Bible:
- Creation
- Adam and Eve
- The fall of Man
- Cain and Abel
- Noah
- The flood
- Abraham
- Issac
- Jacob
- Joseph
So what have I learned in my very poky parade through Genesis:
- God is patient
- God has limits (not in what he can do, but in what he will tolerate.)
- God is very loving
- God is very creative.
- The Bible is interesting
- And sometimes weird
- And sometime confusing
- And every now and then seems to not make sense.
- God has a pretty strong opinion of what needs to happen.
- God did not make us all robots.
- God did make us to be very messy.
And perhaps most importantly, i have learned some things I did not know before August 25.
Exodus here I come…
