"Son"day 12/06/09 Matthew Chapter 14

The weeks are flying by!!  The Christmas Season is definately here.  I am so struggling with getting in the spirit of things.  This is a very hard time for me usually.  I love to celebrate the birth of Christ although I think the commercial things get so out of hand.  Plus as I unpack all of my decorations I am reminded of Christmas Past.  This is especially hard for me with so many people that were so dear to me being gone:(  So I guess I am going through the motions with my holiday spirit.  I need to get to the More Than The Motions with that too...

Chapter 14

1-14 are you kidding me??  Requesting that your daughter bring you someones head on a platter.  I am sure she will need some counseling when she is older.!!  This is some crazy stuff I am learning!!

13-21  I find it interesting in Matthew how there is no mention of where the fishes and loaves came about... Although the mention of how much leftovers their was?? 

22-36  Is really one of my favorite stories in the bible it is so me!!  First off I am shocked that He walked on water so He must be the Son of God.  Then I want to believe so bad and test the waters (no pun intended)  That I ask Jesus to prove it to me.  Like what I have witnessed is not enough...  Then once I am there I loose sight of who I am with and start to sink and Jesus has to save me again.  Then when that journey is over people are still so consumed with themselves they bring their sick to be healed.  Sound simular to our lives.  We tell of how Jesus has saved us and all the things He has healed us from, and all we do is push for more miracles instead of praising all the time.  Everyone wants a piece of the actions when it is good.
