Today is Friday, February 6th, 2004; Karen's Korner #235

I heard a speaker say the other day that God has given us 7,474 promises which are written in the Bible. Don't know if that is accurate or not, because I haven't counted them!

 

Sometimes the Bible reads like today's newspaper, because it is that personal to us as individuals. And it is better than the news, always.....instead of focusing on bad news and negative happenings........God focuses on good news and positive things, which are happening right now, and way, way off into the future.......

 

Right now I am trudging through reading the book Psalms; not looking for anything special.....just reading some verses and chapters now and again. Here is yesterday's.....remember Luke was born yesterday; making Jamie a mom; and Jim and I grandma and grandpa:

 

PSALMS 113 (in part):  "Hallelujah! O servants of Jehovah, praise His Name. Blessed is His Name forever and forever. Praise Him from sunrise to sunset!....He stoops to look and lifts the poor from the dirt, and the hungry from the garbage dump, and sets them among princes! He gives children to the childless wife, so that she becomes a happy mother......."

 

In the margin of my Bible, I wrote on May 17, 1978, "God gives us what we don't have!" 

 

Same is true in February 2004........
