Who Is This God?

If anyone's been keeping up with reading through Luke, you may be further than this, but I'm now in chapter 9... sorry about not posting anything -- no internet access for over a week now.

Here's some of the highlights for me from the last few chapters:

Blessings and Woes
It is comforting to know that having needs (being poor, hungry, sad -- not necessarily because of physical needs) is a good thing... only because we know we can and will have something greater that will satisfy those needs. And can you fully appreciate being satisfied if you haven't really experienced hunger? So woe to those that don't "need" anything...
This passage also helps me see the wider view and not get so wrapped up in the present.

Judging Others
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged."
"Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned."
Enough said. But He says even more wonderful truths... read more.

Wise Builder
He practiced what he heard...

Soil
Pray for good soil!

This Little Light
Not really clear on all of it, but this part jumped out at me: "Therefore consider carefully how you listen."

And then there's all the wonderful stories of Jesus' miracles... I found myself repeating the disciple's reaction to Jesus calming the storm: "Who is this?"

There was nothing He couldn't do... the limitations of the natural world, and our thinking, were blown to bits...

"For nothing" -- NOTHING -- "is impossible with God." Praise Him!!!
