Thought of the Day
January 16th, Monday
can't quite rem the first thing that i wanted to blog in but here's the second. was reading a passage about abraham's journey to the promised land and it set me thinking. god spoke to him a couple of times before about how his descendents would be as countless as the sand, how they would inherit the promised land and that he needed to obey and leave the land of haran. then in the later passages that follow god speaks again, this time with greater clarity, saying that the sin of the canaanites had not yet reached it's fullness. you would think that god would have told him everything at once but it seems in this case that the picture was revealed to him a bit at a time.
this is my learning point cos i would prefer maximum clarity before making a decision, i mean who wants to be unsure? but then sometimes god reveals just enough for you to get a glimpse but not be able to cling on to it so that you cling on to him instead. its gonna be "rubber meets the road" time come december when i graduate. wonder what the future holds...
theres something that i remember i wanted to write down too, but for the life of me i can't quite rem. arghh. its like the other day i'm trying to rem wad is that korean restaurant that serves free flow of food for bbq....then the next day it dawned on me. seoul garden. ahahah. you think i'm doing senile right? i can't guarantee i'm not. lol. theres another thing i forgot the other day, but i forgot what i forgot. -_-" i dun think senility sets in at the age of 25....maybe 26? haha. nah.

ok, good observations...just take note that when you are reading Gen, there is a progression - like viewing a movie. When you are entering into another chapter, it is like entering into another scene...When suddenly the writer wrote some stuffs about genealogies, it is like a scene insertion trying to introduce someone. (Gen 11:10-32 - scene introduces this grp of people but really with the purpose to progress to the character of Abraham (Gen 12))
