Today Dr. McGee spoke of how God provided a place of refuge for people who sinned in the Old Testament. More specifically, today he was speaking about the story of Saul and David. How a general of Saul was tricked into leaving Hebron, a city of refuge.
2 Samuel 2, 3 http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/thru-the-bible-with-j-vernon-mcgee/listen/
God had provided a place where people could go and be safe while they waited for a judge that would hear their case - the city of refuge. Which sounds a whole lot like what we do now. We are safe in the refuge of Christ.
Every day I am more and more amazed on how much the Old Testament points to Jesus. Every single verse speaks of Christ. This is something a person might never know if they leaned on their own wisdom. I certainly didn't know - til now.
On this day the Lord has made . . .
As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.
So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Prayer List
- Thank you Father thank you.
- Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
- O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

- God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian.

Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
