We woke up early for PT today… then stood around for a good half-hour plus waiting for it to start. That seems to kind up some up the situation here. Basically, we do a lot of hurry up and wait. The good news is we alternate it with slow down and wait J. Yesterday, I stopped at Isaiah 38, and was looking forward to 39 because I remembered the story.
Isaiah 39: So Hezekiah decides to show his enemies messengers all the stuff that’s in his house. There seems to be two problems with this. First, it’s tactically stupid, since they get to see all the weaknesses, and all the rewards of attacking. Second, he does it in a “yes, I am that cool” way. The worst part though is when Isaiah tells him that God is going to let his sons fall into captivity. Hezekiah’s response is “Whew, at least I’ll be dead when it happens… lets party!!!” Seriously, have some class. At least pretend that you care about your country, and your children.
Isaiah 40: This chapter is a song to the Lord about how great He is. It’s a great chapter… read it for yourself.
I Corinthians 7: O.K. so Paul is sooo a bachelor. He still strikes a blow for all men when he says that couples shouldn’t keep having sex regularly… yay!!! The confusing part is when he talks about how it is better for people to be single. Didn’t God say it was better man not to be alone? God gave certain people the gift of being single so that they could minister in a certain way (could you imagine Paul running about the whole world with a wife in tow?). Verse 25 makes things really clear, “I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion… I think that [man should stay alone].” Yeah, well you can keep your opinion thank you very much. It is true that a single person is concerned with the Lord’s work, while a married person is concerned with his family… OR, a single man in constantly concerned with not sinning… yeah, I don’t think I have the gift… sorry Paul (haha, double meaning).
