Romans 4:3 (actually quoted from Genesis 15:6) :
What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
Psalm 52:8 : "... I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever"
The two scriptures above reminded me of my current struggle to have faith in the Lord in my life, especially in certain areas. The Romans passage speaks of how Abraham's belief in God's promise despite the human impossibility of that promise (a child in old age) and how that belief was credited to him as righteousness. Paul writes how God desires trust and belief in God over our works. Psalms once again gets right to me in this simple line to trust in God's love for ever and ever. Whew! =)
I've always really enjoyed reading Psalms.. maybe it's because I can connect with the musical, direct and 'true' nature of the writing ... :)
Numbers 9:14b : You must have the same regulations for the alien and the native-born.
And on a side note... this verse struck a chord with me, on the issues of immigrants, international human trafficking, alien rights, international relations, economics and all that... It's something to think about... does it really mean that the alien and the native-born should be treated exactly the same by the government (unlike present times)? How feasible is that?

Matthew 25:1-13; Romans 8:1-17; Psalm 59; Numbers 28-30
The Matthew reading is hard:
"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour." THe kingdom of heaven is like the 10 virgins waiting for the bridegroom, and if you didnt prepare "the oil" beforehand, you might miss Him entirely when He arrives. I think this describes a lot of us where we are simply not watching out in our spiritual walk wiht Him, not being vigilant and alert..I can account myself the many times I pray and fall asleep.
in romans
"5For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.[g] And by him we cry, "Abba,[h] Father." 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. 17Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Not that we all have sufferings that we can compare to the disciples but I think it could take the form of being nice to everyone you know, and not self-serving; adopting a Jesus attitude towards trials...think about how much we complain about our homework/exams..and would Jesus ever have done that to those around him about the Cross??
In Psalms
I think about Eliza's question once more. She asked why didn't God just speak to the whole nation instead of just moses. I think the only answer I could think of was how they probably weren't ready yet. Becuase I have been seeking for this answer in my own spiritual life: why doesn't God speak to me more directly, more personally..rather than through the Bible and through my distant prayers..I think He doesn't want us to depend on the glory of His presence solely, because we need to WORK out our faith, and persevere..like Jesus Christ. I think oftentimes we seek for that mountaintop experience with Him but when we come down from the mountain (like after Urbana, etc.) we do not know what to do once more or how to pick up our faith because we had been do dependent on that .. And so the people weren't ready as well to hear God, think about how we know about Moses entire lifestory, God has been preparing Him since birth! And tested His faith many times, showing him who was God.
In Numbers, it is so interesting how everytime God wanted the people to sacrifice animals to Him and to atone for their sins, he says, DO NO WORK. And just focus on me. Don't get distracted by our work...:P We should always set time apart for Him ..

In Psalms 51, it is said that God desires a broken spirit and a contrite heart. I think that very often I have been proud before God and confident that my knowledge of Him is quite enough, thank you very much. But I think God just reminded me how ridiculous the notion of actually understanding Him is. I ask for a broken spirit and a contrite heart towards God and to all those whom God loves.

Exodus 4-6, Psalm 25, Acts 15:22-42, Matthew 11:1-19
In Exodus 4-6, when God sends Moses to tell Pharoah to let the Israelites go, Pharoah doesn't comply, and when God sends Moses to tell the Israelites of God's promise to them, they do not hearken unto Moses. I wonder why God sends Moses to speak to Pharoah and the Israelites. If God Himself came down and made a promise to the Israelites, it would be so much more assuring, and if God sent a great ball of fire down to Pharoah, it would bring him to his senses and he would be more likely to obey. Lyn-Ni's post on this passage sort of clarifies this.. it may be that God just really wants to use Moses, and in order to do so, he must first rid Moses of his insecurities.
I can relate to the psalmist in Psalm 25 when he says "Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day." Sometimes I get discouraged because I don't know how to seek God, but God is faithful and He guides us and teaches us in love and mercy.

Matthew 10:21-42, Acts 15:22-42, Exodus 1-3, Psalm 24
Matthew 10 is a bit difficult..
It talks about families rising up against one another (man against father, daughter against mother) for Jesus' sake. He also says "I came not to send peace, but a sword." I'm having a hard time finding how this aspect of Jesus fits in with him as the "Prince of Peace."

Matthew 24:36-51, Romans 7:13-25, Psalms 58, Numbers 26-27:
Romans 7:
21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.
The battle against sin, is really a daily one, which I think Paul speaks of here. And it's so easy to be discouraged everytime we sin again, feeling guilty, but it really is human nature to sin, and we should view it as God can overcome all this if we wanted to really overcome our sin..does that make sense?

Matthew 24:15-35; Romans 7:1-12; Psalm 57; Numbers 23-25
I am really trying to take in what Paul says in Roman about being alive in the spiritual realm but dead to the material things around us. And I know that I csn never be like that but I do yearn for wht he is trying to say : which is give me YOUR desires, God, give me YOUR vision, and not let my own short-term impatient vision rule over my path...I read Utmost for His Highest today and it struck me that in order to be fully submissive to God we must accept spiritual certainty and uncertainty everywhere else in the aspects of our life..we must be like children..not knowing what will be in front of us. I pray God will enlargen that spiritual EYE for me, and also here's a quote from Psalms that I like:
Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.

In Matthew 21:33-46, Jesus tells the parable of the tenants, where tenants of a vineyard kill the owner's servants sent to collect the rent and finally kill the owner's son. Jesus pronounces the fate of those who have rejected the Son, saying (v.43) "Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit." I ask myself if I'm the one from whom the kingdom will be taken or the ones who will produce its fruit. It's kinda scary, but God is graceful and the giver of hope.

Matt 21:23-32, Romans 1:1-17, Psalm 48 , Numbers 1-2
In Romans, Paul reminds us of the power of salvation for all those who believe. The faces of some of my friends whom I care for very much but may not know Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour floated before my mind's eye. My heart feels a burden for them, but I'm not sure what to do about it. I'll pray, sure, but should I take some sort of action too? God, give me wisdom.
Psalm 48 : 1 - Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy mountain.

Hey I'm enlightened by new posts! We will all start on different pages, which is great! Just make a new post everytime, instead of commenting this time around, so people can tell right away which dates you are on! And if any lucky person is actually on the same date as someone, then they can just comment. Okie?
In Numbers, the story about Balak and Balaam strikes me as really odd, when his donkey started to speak to Balaam, I would have realized that something is really odd, and supernatural. But do you think we do this all the time? Earthquakes occur and we take it as "nature", but what if is the sign of God's anger, or the result of so much evil? Have we become blind/passive to the disturbances of this world/our life?
AND as I just finished writing the above statement, I read this in Matthews:
Memory verse: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

See that you are not troubled; for all[a]these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences,[b] and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Hosanna To the Highest
This was one of the songs we sang daily in the Hillsong's Women conference I attended last weekend in London. It's simply powerful, just medidate on the lyrics. I miss and love you all, hope you feel blessed by this song!
longtime
Dear ALL,
I feel sad that this has sorta died down, which is understandable, we get run over by work , by mabuhay, by things we signed up to that just preoccupies us. I just hope that we all do take the time to seek His face daily not just through that wonderful group we are all involved in WESCF or our supporting friends around us but to PICK up our faith daily with HIM and wrestle the WHYS, HOWS, WHATS in our life that plague us but never seem to be answered. If we don't ASK of God something, how are we going to RECEIVE? OR let our faith grow?
I have to admit I got my latest inspiration from the Hillsong conference I attended, but it's so easy to forget that wonderful weekend right? It's time to get off the Mount and be real about our faith.
Some resources I suscribe to:
I receive RansomedHeartMinistries' email everyday to my inbox (Joann you asked me about that quote)
There is Godtv.com and Joyce Meyer's online tvcasts/website (reading her 'Battlefields of the Mind' is really encouraging me right now)
I recently heard Lisa Bevere as well, who spoke truth that pierces..two of my friends who I invited to hear her on Sunday left after she spoke her first sentences and I was worried that they were bitterly opposed to what she said about the correlation of earthquakes and Muslim oppression of women, and I was right; they were. But I am glad to say at this point now that nothing can shake my faith, it only pains me how to educate myself to make others understand it better.
Have a blessed day, ya'll!
MEMORY VERSE of the day Proverbs 16:24: PLeasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body

I made it to march, maybe by myself:)
But the verse that impacted me was by Romans where Paul emphasised that one has to live by faith. And its true, I have been feeling a high and excitement from God throughot the whole week but for some reason its dissipated now and I knw that it's only by faith, not by our momentary pledges of fidelity or enthusiasm that keeps us going..and by faith, we have to work it out and be constant in our walk with God and responsibilities to His people

I decided to add to the reading you guys already have to do: this is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman: Hope you find it as reassuring as I did:
These are the places I was so sure I'd find him
I looked in the pages and I looked down on my knees
I lifted my eyes in expectation
To see the sun still refusing to shine, But
CHORUS:
Sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face can not be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and gray
But some things can only be known
And sometimes are faith can only grow
When we can't see
So sometimes he comes in the clouds
Sometimes I see me, a sailor out on the ocean
So brave and so sure, as long as the skies are clear
But when the clouds to gather
I watch my faith turn to fear, But...
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Sometimes he comes in the rain
And we question the pain
And wonder why God can seem so far away
But time will show us, he was right there with us, and

Remember to look at the first post of this blog (archives) and then you can view the bible reading plan. You can choose to start on the same day as me :) despite Exodus being the middle of things etc, but it'll be nice to exchange thoughts OR you can start posting new posts to wherever you'd like to start.

Dear friends,
I just want to say how this has been such a blessing to me, to be able to keep in touch with you all through this site, it's really been giving me encouragement in my walk here in Paris, I urge you to continue walking with me in these scriptures, it'll be amazing to finish the bible after one and a bit year together. As David sings to the King, I want to seek this state of happiness with God:
Psalm 21:6 For you have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence.

The second day (January No.2)
Genesis 3-4, Psalms 2, Acts 1: 12-26, Matt 1:18-25
P.S. it's been really encouraging for me to see the comments and to think that this is actually working and although i have fears when wesleyan actually starts, I know I will feel motivated to keep on going.
Note: I think we should put in the title always-what the number and month it is so people can find the post for that day much easier ok? :)

my dearests:)
You dont realize what you've 'got till it's gone' Janet Jackson sang that once.
Anyway since it is a New Year, I think it is time to carry out some of our resolutions :)
Eliza and Gloria have committed so far...I don't know who else will but here's a start and an introduction in case you don't know what I'm babbling on about.
During this last semester in Wesleyan, Joel Pratt printed out a daily reading plan for the Bible in one year while we were in STLab. I thought it would be an excellent idea to actually commit to it with friends who I will not be seeing while studying in Paris, or rather WesCFers in particular.
If you do decide to, it means you have to first download and print this out .
(P.S. It can be downloaded for free through either formats)
Since it is January, it is an excellent time to start reading and we shall start as soon as people reply and set up their accounts.
The idea is that after reading every day, we will say something about what we have read after reflection and prayer. I know this is an idealized version because I myself will not have access to internet everyday but the idea is that we will be consistent and keeping each other accountable. Furthermore it will be great to keep in touch (for me!) and track our spiritual growth on this blog. We shall eventually improvise and this reading plan is flexible enough.
So if you have decided you would like to join the three of us, please do comment asap, and I'll email you to set up your accounts.
Sincerely,
and with much affection and love from Paris,
Lyn-ni Lee
