As I read through Genesis I notice more and more great stories and tales that I never knew existed. In Genesis 10:8 we learn about Nimrod, the first great warrior hero on earth. These are awesome new things that I'm learning as we go.
A few other things of note from the last two days of reading:
- I will never look at a rainbow the same way again. I never connected the fact that a rainbow comes after... rain. This isn't just a symbol, it is a sign of God's covenant to never destroy the earth by water again. (Genesis 9:12)
- When Jesus approached Peter, Andrew, James and John they immediately dropped what they were doing and followed Him. Could you do the same today? (Matthew 4:19)
- I always thought that the people who built the Tower of Babel were confused as punishment for trying to reach God in the tower. But after reading the account in the Bible I feel that it was more like God realizing there needed to be some diversity in on the earth. (Genesis 11:7)
- I never knew that Abraham gave his wife to Pharoah. I cannot imagine offering my wife to anyone, even if I thought my life was at risk. This really surprised me and was not something I had previously noticed. (Genesis 12:18)
- If anyone asks you where in the Bible it says not to curse, quote them Matthew 5:21-22. Jesus makes it pretty clear that our language is extremely important and to be kept pure.
