Seeing God in all of Life

After a very long and difficult school semester and even year, I am taking the summer off.  During this time off Ashley and I will be attempting to read through the Bible in 90 days.  We started yesterday and today ended in Genesis 28.  I believe this will be a powerful and meaningful experience for the both of us and I hope that the Word begins to penetrate deep in our souls.  I hope to share observations that we make during this process.  Below are a few of my first observations.

In the first few chapters of Genesis, it isn't until people are banished from something that they decide to conceive children.  Not sure what this means, I only found it interesting.

Gen 28.3 - "The child grew and was weaned, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast."  I found it interesting that they would celebrate such an insignificant event.   This reminds me of Jeremiah 33 when there is great celebration over everyday mundane activities, as if to say that ordinary life is spiritual, meaningful and a significant gift from God.

The above are rather odd observations but they are just a few things that have stuck out to me.  I hope you will join us for more insightful thoughts as we, Ashley and I, move forward into this 90 day challenging journey.
