I try to sit down with some profound thought everytime I start one of these. But they rarely happen. Today two thought on my mind...I am beyond blessed. I actually have this thought everyday. I am amazed at just how happy God allows me to be. I have my dream job. My boss is great. My coworkers are great. I love that I work with my husband day in and day out. I just love my life. My second thought is: I read Ruth again today and I want to see it in movie form. Like a good movie. Someone invest a large sum of money and make this happen. I beautiful love story that proves that God cares where you end up, who you end up with, and He does it all in His perfect timing.
Mark 11:
Verse 6: They didn't question who was "the Lord" they just let them have it.
Verse 8-10: What a parade!! I hope there is a parade everyday in Heaven!
Verse 11: He was looking around at everything. Taking it all in. Getting more outraged by the minute. I think He tried to calm himself. He left. He tried to make sense of it all. Probably trying to give the people the benefit of the doubt. But He couldn't get over it. It bothered Him and stuck with Him and when they came back, He unleashed. He ran people out and knocked over tables. I bet the disciples almost fainted. This man who loved so many and was so compassionate, He got angry. They always saw him being gentle and then BAM! He is turning over some tables!
Verse 23: "and does not doubt in his heart." How often do I ask for something and go.."I wonder if He will." Verse 24 says if I ask and believe that I have it, it is mine. We do not pray that way now. How often are we selling ourselves short? How often are we doubting ourselves out of the very miracle we want/need?
Verse 27-33: Makes me laugh everytime. It was the "talk to the hand" moment between them. I imagine Jesus just shaking his head and walking away like BOOYAH!
Mark 12:
Verse 14: They state they knew he was true, didn't care what people said, didn't treat people differently based on appearances, and taught the way of God. Knowing all of that, why would they try to trap or kill him?
Verse 18-27: Sadducees do not believe in the resurrection, but they were asking questions concerning what would happen to them during the resurrection. They strongly underestimated Jesus here.
Verses 28-34: I want to be this scribe! He had a conversation with Jesus and Jesus thought the scribe answered wisely. I want Jesus to think I am wise!!
Verse 44: How often do I give out of poverty? Giving out of abundance is great, but I need to give to the point that it is a sacrifice.
Mark 13:
Verse 1-2: Just another example that Jesus is not impressed "pretty."
Verse 32: I know that the Father and Son are one. But here it says Jesus doesn't know, only God. I do not know how to reconcile that. The book The Shack did the best job helping me with this, but I will never fully understand it until Heaven. I am learning more and more that even though I study so much more...and I learn more...I also begin not understanding more. Reconciling certain things is probably impossible this side of Heaven, even though I know that I do not believe it is an excuse to not research them, question God about them, and try to get to the very bottom of them.
