Daily Bible Study -- Jan 1

Well, I hope to use this group (cafemom group) to STUDY God's Word more than just read it, so I have my notebook & I'm ready. I got to thinking about how many times we have all read this scripture. We sometimes skim over it b/c it is familiar. I miss so much thinking that it is familiar so I want to dig a little deeper... so here I go! Y'all might have to throw me a rope in at some point! LOL
GENESIS - - As I read Genesis 1:16 about the two great lights I pondered on being the LIGHT of the world. God made the sun to shine during the day. He made the SON so that we may have light in darkness. The world is a dark place and the Son is not "out" so we must be the MOON and REFLECT the Sonlight. We are the STARS that twinkle. The bible states that stars are small lights in the heavens and they give light upon the earth too. Not all the stars twinkle at the same time. Some are falling stars. We must lift up those fallen stars so they may twinkle again! Our twinkle may diminish & I know I want someone right there to take my hand and lift me up! My twinkle has "twinkled out" at times - I have fallen and am so thankful for my Christian friends that lifted me up again. I hope my little star is the brightest in the sky b/c I've been there and know that this is a much better place. It is a dark world out there - so twinkle on and reflect the SON that shines in you. When Jesus returns the SON will shine on that great DAY! What a day that will be!
MATTHEW - - Yeah - how well I love to skip over the begats...but look at Christ... Everyone is "begat" until you see that" Mary, of whom was BORN Jesus, who is called Christ." There is something different about this baby...oh what a difference this Savior made!! I agree...what if just one person disobeyed the will of God? I know God's Will will be done but look at the blessing they would've missed.
Are you missing a blessing because of disobedience? If Lori would've disobeyed, I know I would be missing a blessing. Are you letting others miss a blessing because of your disobedience? How is your twinkle? Do you know a fallen star that needs to be lifted up??
