We had our first regular schedule Bible class today. It was awesome. We briefly looked over the Pentateuch themes and I just realized so many things that I have overlooked/ taken for granted.
1. People back then had to sacrifice animals to even come before the Father... all I have to do is have the desire. He loves me even in my weakness
2. Adam and Eve were promised a Savior to take the sin... one that would crush the head of Satan... little did they know that they would have to wait 4000 years. How long did Grace Cowart have to wait? 0... It's almost like it switched around.. The Lord was waiting. Waiting for me to realize that I have a Savior.
3. People back then didn't have Bibles, devotionals.. .OR THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVING IN THEM! haha.. ummm I'd for sure be long gone with out that. Well maybe.. yeah I think so.
4. Last thing. People back then lived for extremely long times.. 900 years. No big. And they had a LOT of kids. God told them to "be fruitful and multiply" (we pull out that verse a lot in the Cowart family :)... hehe just playing Daddy) So there had to have been TONSSSSSS of people living on the earth. Billions. Time comes around for the flood and howww many righteous people did God find? One. Noah. That's insane. I can't wait to meet him in Heaven! I can't ever complain about not having enough spiritual influences around me. ... I have the biggest, bestest Spirit living IN me.. along with this huge Body that I'm apart of, the Bible... music, books, internet. Everything is so easily accessible... and when those tangible influences are lost... the intangible remains.
