Mar 29 - I Am Legion

Moses continues on today reiterating that they must obey the Lord and obey all his requirements, decrees, regulations and commands. "Show love to the Lord your God by walking in his ways and holding tightly to him. Then the Lord will drive out all the nations ahead of you, though they are much greater and stronger than you, and you will take over their land." Sounds like a fair deal to me:) Moses tells them they can eat their meat in any town whenever they want whether they are ceremonially clean or unclean but they must not eat the blood. But they cannot eat their offerings in their hometowns. They are to take their sacred gifts and offerings given to fulfill a vow to the place the Lord chooses and eat them in the presence of the Lord. Ultimately Moses finishes with "So be careful to obey all the commands I give you. You must not add anything to them or subtract anything form them." I would be getting an outline of the commands, I can't remember what I'm doing this weekend let alone offerings, sacrifices...etc:)

Today in Luke it's the day when Jesus and the disciples are in a boat to cross the lake when a storm starts kicking the boat around like crazy and Jesus is taking a siesta while the disciples are freaking out. They wake him up and with one command he rebukes the wind and waves and everything goes calm. He asks the disciples "Where is your faith?" I think I would have to side with the disciples on this one. I wouldn't know if God was trying to wash all of us out of the boat and just keep his son aboard? Plus how could he sleep through that.....OH, uuhhh just checking to see if you were still alive but hey while your up you mind killing these winds.

When the arrive to the region of Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee. Jesus is climbing out of the boat and a man possessed by demons falls down in front of him. "Why are you interfering with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please I beg you, don't torture me!"
Jesus demanded, "What is your name?"
"Legion" he replied, for he was filled with many demons. The demons begged Jesus to give them permission to enter the herd of pigs near by. Jesus gave them the thumbs up and they left them man, entered the pigs then ran down the steep hillside and plunged into the lake and drowned.
All the people in the region begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, for a great wave of fear swpt over them.

I definitely think Proverbs is worth mentioning today being that my wife fits into the crown catagory 110%! Proverbs 12:4 A worthy wife is a crown for her husband, but a discraceful woman is liek cance in his bones.

Love you Boo;)
