“Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop”

“A holiday reading list,” is one column in our local paper called. (The Northland Age, Tuesday, December 3, 2019) I am also very much interested in reading and I am continuing to read the column.

In the column the writer tells us about the papers she is going to read during the holiday period and the purpose, the reason for reading the papers.

That makes me also tell you about the books on my holiday reading list and the reason for reading them.

MY HOLIDAY READING LIST:

The first book on my list is the Bible. The second book I want to read again is called THE CROSS and the author of the book is D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones.

MY REASON FOR READING THE ABOVE MENTIONED BOOKS:

The Bible is “THE BOOK OF BOOKS” and the book called THE CROSS contains sermons on “God’s Way of Salvation.” And I want to learn more about “God’s Way of Salvation.”

I hope you are now also encouraged to compile your holiday reading list.

“BE FISHERS OF MEN: YOU CATCH – HE CLEANS”

“‘We saw clearly that the LORD was with you,'” said the king of the Philistines Abimelech to Isaac, when he came to him with his personal adviser Ahuzzath and Phicol, the commander of his forces, from Gerar.

Please read the verses 26-28 in Genesis chapter 26. (First book of the Bible.)

But before Abimelech said to Isaac, “‘We saw clearly that the LORD was with you,'” he said, “‘Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us.'”

You find that in verse 16 of Genesis chapter 26.

I hope that you are now encouraged to read the whole of chapter 26 of Genesis, the verses 1-35!

Now, what do people see when they look at us, especially when we are going through a hard time?

Let us also remember that Abimelech, Ahuzzath and Phicol saw not only that the LORD was with Isaac, but that they saw CLEARLY that the LORD was with Isaac.
