14 Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But that is not what God desires; rather, he devises ways so that a banished person does not remain banished from him.
I didn't discover any particular nugget today to follow or work on personally. I did notice the reference here to God's desire for us to be with him. It seems to reference his plan to have Jesus come and reconcile us with him. Its always interesting seeing these references tucked throughout the Old Testament, illustrating his plan so long before Jesus came to fulfill it. Its a great illustration of his total control of the world and why we need to no worry about tomorrow--he has a plan for us.
have a great day
i really like this part...it reminds me of myself
ReplyDelete25 In all Israel there was not a man so highly praised for his handsome appearance as Absalom. From the top of his head to the sole of his foot there was no blemish in him. 26 Whenever he cut the hair of his head—he used to cut his hair once a year because it became too heavy for him—he would weigh it, and its weight was two hundred shekels[b] by the royal standard.
Hahahahah....awesome!
I really liked the line you picked out......

This really speaks to God's love for us. Jesus was his ultimate plan to keep us from being banished. I just love the picture that he loves us so much, that he can't stand to have us judged according to what we really deserve.
have a good one!
