Psalms 100

• No particular insight today. The passage summarizes what, why, and how of a Christian’s life. This is how my life should be.

Amen.

• God comforts us in our affliction (trouble) so that we too may comfort others.
• Christians will have, in abundance, both Christ’s suffering and comfort.
• These happen so that we will learn to rely not on our own strength, but on God’s.
• Testimony of Paul’s conscience: a life that is simple, sincere, relying on God’s grace.

Isaiah 3-4

• There may be times when life seems unfair, but good will prevail. Have faith in the goodness and sovereignty of God.

Psalms 99
Leviticus 5:14-19, 6:1-7

• An awesome, effective idea: Songs that remind us of specific times of God’s love and faithfulness. Songs not only are easier to remember, they also are capable of carrying emotion more than just the written word.
• There’s a good deal of commandments on unintentional sin – maybe because we do it more often than we think. That is a good prayer, that God exposes those unintentional sins and that we will act in repentance.
