Okay, I can't blog about the books written by the prophets during the times of God's judgement anymore. Since they are all writing about the basic same time...but different place...I feel like I have tried to cover most of it. Basic stuff....
-God told the people to turn towards Him
-People chose evil over good
-God asked again...and again....
-People liked their evil ways too much...
-Judgement.....
It's funny b/c I am now reading books that I have never heard of before. I think I memorized all the names of the books back in Jr. High for youth group or confirmation or something.....but I now don't recognize Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah ect.... Actually I didn't even know there was a book called Jonah. I always knew the story of Jonah and the whale, but I had no idea it had it's own book in the bible.
I read Jonah today and liked it very much. There is one quote in particular that I want to take note of.
But the Lord said, "You have been concerned about the vine, though you did not tend it or make it grow.
Jonah 4:10
How often have I spent time complaining about things, worrying about things, and stewing over things....yet I do nothing to change or help the situation. Hmmmmm.... LOTS OF TIMES!
I'm still 6 days behind on my reading. I must get caught up by this weekend. I am supposed to start the New Testament on Saturday and I'm so excited about it. I will be there by Saturday!
