SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR 04/13/2006
My Worship Time Focus: Where we all came from
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Genesis 9:18-19
Message of the verse: “18 Now the sons of Noah who came out of the
ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan. 19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth
was populated.”
These two
verses are very important in that they tell the reader where he came from, or
at least give three possibilities of which of Noah’s sons they descended from.
Verse 18 tells that Ham had a son named Canaan, but that is
the only son that is mentioned in these two verses. It seems that Ham was the first homosexual
that the Bible speaks of and the story will unfold in the next verses, but when
you dig into history it can be seen that those who descended from Canaan were
the worst when it came to the sin of homosexuality.
Verse 19
tells me that all of the population that is on the earth today came from one of
the three sons of Noah, and there are many who live today who would not believe
this statement. There are some believers
today who do not believe that the flood was world wide and that the days of
creation were many thousands or even millions of years instead of twenty-four
days. It takes faith to believe what the
Bible records, it takes faith to believe exactly what the Bible records when
some so called scientist of our day have greatly influenced many believers into
believing that its okay to believe the Bible, but please figure a way that will
fit the Bible into the science of the day.
To this I say HOGWASH! As for me
I believe that the earth was made in six twenty-four hour days, there was a
worldwide flood, where water covered the entire earth, and that I am a
descendant of one of Noah’s sons, which is probably Shem. It takes less faith to believe the Biblical
account than evolution. Evolutionist
believe that the world began with a big bang, that some place in outer space there
was something like a little ball which exploded and thus our universe came into
existence.
I have one
question for those evolutionists and that is where did that little ball come
from. “Ex nihilo is a Latin phrase meaning "out of
nothing": when phrased as ex nihilo nihil fit it means that the universe
was formed from eternal matter, as in "nothing comes from nothing";
when phrased as creatio ex nihilo, in contrast, it means that God created the
cosmos out of nothing. Wikipedia.” 4/14/2020 10:45 AM
Spiritual meaning for my life today: As stated above, I do believe the
Scriptures, and I am thankful to God who is the One who gives me faith to
believe His Word.
The Word of God was refreshing to me as I read and studied
it this morning.
My Steps of Faith
Today: To continue to trust the Lord
to direct my path everyday, and also to trust the Lord to continue to teach me
contentment, so that I can say with Paul that I have learned to be content with
every situation that God has placed me in.
Memory verse for the week:
Philippians 2:14-15
1. Do all things
without grumbling or disputing, so that you will prove yourselves to be
blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a
crocked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,
