As I started the journey, I am already one day behind. :) Some thoughts on 1st day's reading: - The book of Genesis is the foundation of the whole bible: it described the relationship between God and his creation, God and humans, humans themselves. - 5 women mentioned in Jesus's genealogy are amzaing, especially 3 of them were considered bad :) - Paslms is the only book in all 66 books in which we speak to God. In all other books, God speaks to us. - Proverbs will give me wisdom, dicipline, righteousness, and purpose of my life. Never thought about the rest except wisdom. Great first day reading!
****** - Quite disappointing reading the fall of man on the second day! - Really amazed by Joseph's obedience and challenged. - The annointed one will save us after all - The fear of the God is the beginning of knowledge.
To: 提摩太 Thanks for sharing. 15minutes? That is for a glance only! How can we get better understanding and remember what we read? But you are right. It’s hard to keep reading if we spend too much time on it everyday. I will give a try:).

Glad to see I have fellow followers.
1. Enoch is mentioned to walk with God and God took him away. You can imagine he was obedient.
2. God blessed seventh day and made it holy. Holy means to make that day belong to God.
3. Tarmah tricked her father-in-law Judah to sleep with her and gave birth to twins (of course Judah confessed Tarmah was more righteous), Rahab was a prostitute, and Bathsheba worked with King David to get her husband killed. "bad" was inapproapriate, "blameful" maybe better.
4. The holy Bible is not one single book. It is a collection of 66 books over 1500 years span. there are 39 books in old testament and 27 books in new testament. Easier to remember if you think about 3-9-27. psalms is a book of peoms, written mostly by King David. Most of the psalms can be used as personal prayers.
5. Always remember there are two factors in the relationship between God and humans: God's creation and human's free will. God is holy, He will never design murder.
=========================================================
It would be impossible to read through bible in one year if you spend too much time. Probably you will give up after a few weeks. Genesis is not too bad, once you start Leviticus, you will be lost. :) 15min to half an hour is good.

一月二日:
Genesis 3 The Fall of ManGenesis 4 Cain and Abel
-这是一段非常熟悉的故事。只是有点疑问。既然神是造物主,神通晓并设计一切。那么伊甸园所发生的一切以及Cain杀Abel应该都是神预先安排的。历史在成为历史之前就应该是神的设计蓝图。
Matthew 2/Matthew 3 - Done not long ago.
Psalm 2
11 Serve the LORD with fear
and rejoice with trembling.
- 对神心存敬畏,以神的话为行为规范,时时事事都要在神的注视下,是不是给基督徒造成一种不自由的约束感?这样会不会影响个人潜能的发挥?因为总觉得有只眼睛看着你。。。:)
Proverbs 1:7-9
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools [a] despise wisdom and discipline.
-这个大概能部分回答我上面的问题:)

一月一日:
Genesis 2
2:And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy
Q:怎样理解“made it holy”。
Matthew 1
Q:你说:- 5 women mentioned in Jesus's genealogy are amzaing, especially 3 of them were considered bad :)。我只发现其中一个“David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife”
Matthew 1/Matthew 2:前些日子读过了。
Psalm 1
Q:这是“圣诗”吗?我从没接触过?我查了一下是旧约里的“诗篇”吧?Psalm是一本怎样的书,主要讲什么?
Q:你说- Paslms is the only book in all 66 books in which we speak to God. In all other books, God speaks to us. - 这里66本指哪些书?
BOOK I : Psalms 1-41
--我觉得读Psalm有点难度,不大好懂。
Proverbs 1:- 很精辟!

读了今天的作业,随想几点:
1。不知以诺怎样与神同行?
2。感慨诺亚的年代与当今的时代有相似之处!
3。really like one sentence in the comment: What we do matters to God!
4. like this comment too:
It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'” This is such a powerful spiritual truth that Jesus is conveying - we will not live full and true lives if we live simply on bread alone. ---YES, GOD'S WORD IS MY DAILY BREAD.
5。喜欢诗篇3中:
But you are a shield around me, O LORD;
you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.
