Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

January 3

Genesis 8-11
It's interesting to me that here, in the first days after the flood, before the Law, God make's known His mind concerning capital punishment; and He gives, as His reason, that mankind was made in His image.  Thus, He takes murder personally.  It's almost like killing God when we take another human's life!  So, God, in His infinite wisdom, says that the murderer's life should be forfeited.  It is neither harsh, nor contradictory; it is justice!  May You be forever praised for providing your children justice!  For, without your leading, we would surely be lost.
