Erica's Reading

So as you know from the previous post, Bekki and I are wanting to read the Bible through by the end of the year. I started right before I left and got to chapter 5 in Genesis, Psalms, Proverbs and Matthew, but the first 2 days I was in Indy didn't read; however, I started up again last night, so to catch up, I read Genesis 5-10 and Psalms 5-10, and I need to catch up in Proverbs and Matthew as well. But the verse that stood out the most to me was Psalms 8:3-4 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained (4) what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Every time I read this verse I realize how true it really is... God is so big and so great and everything that He made is so incredibly awesome, yet He still thinks about us and still loves us. So much so that He actually gave Himself up on a cross, He humiliated Himself in front of the world for us... For ME. Just something to ponder!

New Direction

Erica and I have decided to take a new direction with our Random blog, as we haven't been doing ANYTHING with it recently! Both of us have made a commitment to reading the Bible through this year, and even though I am behind, I have faith in myself that I can get it done! God will help me...and so will Erica. LOL So the next few posts will be about our progress, and any scriptures that particularly stuck out to us.

I read Genesis 1-4 yesterday (YES, I really am that behind), and one of the scriptures really stuck out to me: Genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

Maybe ya'll out there in cyber space can tell me why God told them to replenish (def: to make full or complete again, as by supplying what is lacking, used up) something that previously did not exist (mankind.) Help?!
