Yes, it has been about three weeks. Terrible that I just started and have lapsed so long!! I shan't even blame it on recent events because God ought to come before events even if I am tired or not home much. I'd love to say even though I haven't posted online, I have been still doing my study, but I won't lie. I will just fess up and say I have let things slip and notice as of late I am crankier with my kids than when I was reading every day!! So here I come back to Genesis!!!! Let's see if we can finish chapter five.
Read the verse and answer the following questions: (don't forget that Bible, a pen and highlighter!! You may even start with a notebook and have these questions at the front as a reference, then throughout the book, just write your answers!! Just an idea!? :-) )
1. Summarize in a few sentences what the passage is about:
2. Is there an example for me to follow?
3. Is there an error I need to avoid?
4. Is there a command for me to obey?
5. Is there a sin I need to forsake?
6. What application of this passage can I make today?
My answers and opinion:
1. God created man in his likeness, male and female he created them. Goes through Adam's line and how long each lived (nearly 1000 years each!!! Don't know I'd want to live that long!) Says that Enoch walked with God and then was "no more", God took him away. Then Noah was born.
The rest of the chapter is a list of who bore who and how long each lived.
Quite an easy chapter, don't know why it took me so long to get back to this!! And I must say that I was reading "Bringing up Boys" by Dr. Dobson when I read that we need to take every chance we have to relate to our children or teach them about our faith. Only God knows our hours upon this earth so don't squander that time. This in a chapter directed at fathers toward their sons and yet it pierced my own heart!!
