Today I caught up on my Bible study for the week so far; I love Bible study but I often find it too time-consuming to complete. I'd rather do one thirty minute session than three ten minute sessions. The first verses read:
"Lest there be any fornicator or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright...when he would have inherited he was rejected, for he found no place of repentance though he sought it carefully with tears." As we see here, you can try and repent but you need to be successful and work hard at it, something I find quite easy to do.
The other Bible question asked: "Abraham lied to the Pharaoh about Sarah being his wife; he did not repent for this. Did he get punished for his deception? I thought and prayed about this and realized that Abraham's descendants had no luck: his grandson's separated from each other and his great grandsons struggled with the start of Egyptian rule. Abraham's descendants were punished for some of his hymns.
Today my task is quite simple: pray Psalm 51 to the Lord. I'll do it right before I go to bed.
As for completing my goals, I was on time for my work in the Church Office but I seem to have stepped on somebody's toes regarding work. I try to do too much and make other people feel unimportant unintentionally. I have got out about ten books for my dissertation and have researched the reading age of books too; a great start. I was successful in cleaning the house too: I washed the upstairs windows, did a quick pick up of all our rubbish, sorted the bins out (our outside bin was overfull), wiped the surfaces in my bedroom, did a load of washing and cleaned our toilet and sink. All in twenty-six minutes. Me and my housemate also spent ten minutes going through our inventory to make sure nothing was missing from the kitchen - nothing is, but I'm glad we've done it now.
Tomorrow my goals are as follows:
- To work through my checklist which includes languages, typing practice, maths practice and cleaning; I haven't managed to work through it in a while successfully
- To be punctual for my conference and to take pens and paper
- To not feel like I have to share my grades if I've done badly and not boast if I'm done well
God Bless,
