white washed walls,
four in all and students
seated on the marble floor.
that was the study room
of my Saturday class.
the group of us are still on Genesis... sadly i believe J. that we will take till 2010 to finish that chapter... (looking at their + our track record). We learn that in Ch 14 Abram rescues Lot and ch15. God's covenant with Abram..
1. Melchizedek king of Salem is an important figure in the bible but very mysterious... he paves the way for Jesus but where did he come from?
2. Abram rescues Lot despite that he can not lift 1 finger for Lot.
4. God credited Abram as righteous because Abram believe Him
5. Being righteous means you have faith... and "by grace, through faith" only will we be saved... saved from hell?
6. when God seal our pact with him... he walks between 2 parties... (side note: how does that work in a marriage?)
we had a really long discussion on Righteousness.. and even know i feel like i still have questions... (big sigh....)
i think, i have a good idea of what He wants me to do... He wants me to jump... to leap... and i guess to take the plunge blindly... i mean anything else... and it wont be called faith rite? i THINK i know that i have the prerequisite... after all, i am named thus... so now it is my end of the bargain...
please hear my prayer...
Dear God, give me a sign.. if that is not too much to ask for... please give me something to grasp... teach me to put my logic aside, teach me to use my heart to find you instead of my mind. i seat amongst your children... hearing their softly mumbled prayers, said so hurriedly as if there was no time... while i cannot make out what the prayers consist of... i can tell they are sincere and hopeful... in the room, i feel like an alien... like an outsider... yet i can feel their warmth... and i think You were with us that day, in the white washed room... watching over us.. and i know you can hear us... i know you will answer us... wont you?
