Yes, some of the OT is a little "challenging" - but looking for Jesus certainly helps!!<br /><br />The other thing I'm impressed with in the laws and the genealogies is the ORDERLINESS of them - God is a God of order, of organization, and amazing attention to details! I should remember that when I neglect to yield to Him ALL aspects of my life!<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-56026344017478951652010-09-04T04:24:53.402-07:002010-09-04T04:24:53.402-07:00Hi Sharon -

On my retreat last weekend, I shared with my friends that it's difficult to read through all the Levitical laws and the seemingly endless genealogy listings in Numbers. However, when I look at it from the perspective that everything points to Jesus, it makes everything so much clearer.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing that and have a blessed weekend.<br /><br />JoanJoan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430939897829160498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-77553765342458004082010-09-01T09:23:46.257-07:002010-09-01T09:23:46.257-07:00Dorothy,

Glad th...Debbie,<br /><br />Yours are "better" :)<br /><br />Glad that I helped with the lesson plans - as they say, great minds think alike!<br /><br />It is quite awesome, and not surprising, how God weaves His story through history - and how the OT pointed toward Jesus. I'm going to have to join in on "Jesus Hunts" - I'll share them with you from time to time!!<br /><br />Bless you, friend!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-43094374173884154762010-08-30T04:47:04.176-07:002010-08-30T04:47:04.176-07:00Love it!

Of course, He is walking all through it. <br /><br />Hubs can usually find Him even faster than I, but I like to tell him that mine are "better". <br /><br />A totally unrelated comment here: I'm in the beginning stages of teaching the Sermon on the Mount to my class and realized in reading this how nicely I can draw a parallel between it and the early instruction for the Israelites upon being delivered. Hmmm... thanks for that little lesson help!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-6807532989657534012010-08-29T17:24:42.117-07:002010-08-29T17:24:42.117-07:00Joan - I share with you a deep spirit of gratefuln...Joan - I share with you a deep spirit of gratefulness for the wonderful plan that God unfolded in the New Testament! The gift of His Son was a Love that I can barely understand - but I am SO thankful for it! Appreciate your words about the "kids" too! :)<br /><br />MTJ - Christ is INDEED the most excellent High Priest - and I love this verse about Him: "This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin."<br />The fact that He understands EVERYTHING...that brings me such comfort.<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-29269980743832191142010-08-29T10:41:47.789-07:002010-08-29T10:41:47.789-07:00Hi Sharon,

As I think about how the Levites were the substitution for every family from every tribe of Israel, Christ is the more excellent substitute as our high priest.<br /><br />This is a good explanation of foreshadowing.<br /><br />Blessings and peace.<br /><br /><a href="http://mythought-filledjourney.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">MTJ</a>MTJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694085588658653915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339391758957076684.post-87398905557318576552010-08-29T06:15:16.261-07:002010-08-29T06:15:16.261-07:00That's a great way to look at the Old Testimen...That's a great way to look at the Old Testiment. The verses held within its pages prepare us for the wonderful news that what was to come! I'm so thankful for His plan!<br /><br />Living for Him, Joan<br /><br />P.S. Thanks for stopping by by blog today. I so know what you mean about finding it difficult to release our grown children to God. I have two also (a boy and a girl)...God is teaching me each day that they are His before they are mine. He loves them and I'm clinging to that! =)Joan Davis (Jo)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02305888520649862063noreply@blogger.com
