Days 4 and 5 (by Luke)

Day 4: It took me a while to read day 4. I was reading it out loud with my dad and there were a bunch of strange names that I struggled to pronounce. But it was still a great experience to be in and reading the Word, and seeing all the descendants of Adam and Eve.

Day 5: Day five was a very interesting passage and gave me a lot to think about. It was about how Satan wanted to see if something bad happened to Job, Job would turn against God. Many terrible things happened to Job including the death of his children, but Job still praised God. It reminded me of the movie, "Facing the Giants," when the coach says "we will praise Him when we win and we will praise Him when we lose." But Satan didn't stop there, He brought physical changes to Job but Job still praised God. That is amazing and a very interesting scripture.

Reflection on Day 3

Today Luke and I read the assigned passages aloud to each other, taking turns reading a page at a time. Here is his reflection:

Noah is one of my favorite Bible characters. Out of every man on the whole earth at that time, God found favor in him. He was a very old man but did something amazing in the Lord's eyes and my eyes.

And here's my thinking...

I liked the picture in my mind of Noah holding out his hand for the Dove to return to when there was no place to land. When the dove could find no safety, he knew he could return to Noah. It reminds me that when the world seems like a scary place, God is right there and I can land on him.
