In the Word Daily - Day 4 (09/01/2011)

Today's reading (day 4):

Genesis 4:17-5:32
  • The lines of Cain and Seth.
  • The rise of keeping flocks, music, the bronze and the iron ages.
  • From Seth through Enoch who got a private rapture, through Methusaleh, through the birth of Noah.
1 Chronicles 4
  • Judah's descendants - there was a guy named Bethlehem?
  • Jabez was a real pain for his mom - God still answered his seemingly self-focused prayer.
  • Simeon's descendants - a whole bunch of 'em. Is there going to be a test in heaven on all of these?
John 2
  • Jesus listens to his mother and performs the first miracle of his ministry.
  • His disciples believed in him, but it doesn't say about his family.
  • Jesus took real action against people distorting and defaming his Father's character.
  • His authority would be demonstrated by his resurrection.
  • People trusted Jesus because of the signs, but he didn't trust the people because he knew their hearts.
James 2:1-13
  • Judging by wealth and treating people differently shows our evil thoughts.
  • Rich people tend to misuse power, and those who are poor God often gifts with more faith.
  • Favoritism breaks the law of loving our neighbor; breaking the law at one point makes law-breakers.
Psalm 4
  • David calls upon the Lord as he has seen Him answer in the past.
  • God has set apart his people for His glory.
  • Remember God's goodness - it's better than material wealth!
