John 1.35-51-Here is the Lamb of God!-you are the Son of God and the King of Israel!
1 Chronicles 9-Jerusalem-worship- the temple- all focused on God
Haggai 1-2-you hurry off to build your own houses while my temple lies in ruins
Luke 1.46-55-my soul magnifies the Lord
Colossians 1.15-20-all things have been created through him and for him
Psalm 100-Worship the LORD with gladness
"That child is so strange."—A comment yesterday- I don’t think intended for harm- just a comment—well it could have been about me- that’s for sure- and it could have been about Jesus too—when he came into the world- Jesus wasn’t what was expected—but early on some of the disciples got it—later I think maybe they forgot it – but early some seemed to have realized that Jesus was special- so special they left everything and followed him- they focused on God—they hurried to build the temple that needed to be built- they didn’t worry about their own houses like people earlier had done—even Mary – she got it – my soul magnifies the Lord—wow- what a statement! – she got it- then the realization the all things were created through Jesus for Jesus—what a God to worship with gladness---- I wonder if Mary thought – this child is so strange—yea- strange- peculiar- set apart – unique- God – and so are Christians—all strange children—Thanks be to God!
Prayer- Thanks for making me strange, peculiar, unique, loved and one of a kind!—You are God! – and all I have is yours. -- Amen
