Question...

I'm only up to Genesis 12 with this lens as of now... but one thing I was wondering is, is it legit to say that God did not create the world to have poverty in it? It's not like it's in the creation account but also not explicitly stated or anything...

Thanksgiving!

In reflection, there is sooooo much to be thankful for, even in just this year alone. Above all else though, I am soooooo thankful for my relationship with Jesus. Coming from a non-Christian family, there really is no reason I should have been called out by God. The odds were saying that I shouldn't have become a Christ-follower, but by His grace and His crazy pursuit after me, here I am, saved and redeemed, by Jesus alone!

I realize day in and day out that we are the ones who are poor without Jesus... so thank you, Jesus, for giving your life for us on the cross, that we may have life to the full and have eternal life with you.

I pray for this study, that we may be in pursuit of and experience your amazing heart for the poor, O God. They are precious to you and you love them so much. And we want to be more like you and reflect more of your heart to this world. We love you.
