1. Abraham, father of the faith, promised to be father of nations, didn't even have a piece of land to bury his wife. I asked myself if I could still walk with the LORD if I were Abraham. It just seemed hopeless after so many years, none of the covenant was realized. Yet Abraham kept walking with the LORD, no matter what. Everything went perfectly for Isaac and Rebekah today. :) Poor Isaac didn't know how many seven years ahead of him, yet. :))
2. There was a secret disclosed by Jesus today. The secret was that many pagans will join Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the feast in the kingdom of heaven. The bad news was many Isralites by birth will be thrown out. What a firm and encouraging message!
3. Rejoice in your salvation, o LORD!
4. I'd like to join Mike in memorizing Prov. 3:5-6: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. "
Genesis: Agree with Timothy, that is why Abraham is called father of faith. From today's reading, I see how God answer prayers, we should pray more because I think Lord love to hear our voices.
Matthew: Faith is the BINGO word! Also, Jesus came to the earth to HEAL people...I am one of them.
Proverbs: Really really like this paragraph! Very good reading today!

Q1. my lord = sir?
Q2. canaanites worship their own gods
Q3. well, do you still remember the 1st day reading? In the beginning... And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light... God can create the universe with his words. And we also read "Is anything so hard for God?". hope this helps.

Q: Why they call Abraham "my lord"?
Genesis 24

Proverbs 3
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
- I always try to understand first but always have something couldn't understand. i.e. in today's reading, Matthew 8, it talked about Jesus healed someone by his words only... How do you accept these?

made a terrible mistake, when i said "Poor Isaac didn't know how many seven years ahead of him, yet. :))", it really should have been Isaac's son Jacob. :( that's exactly why i need to read through bible.
