Hey folks,
Now I should like to go with you to a place, where, most propably, you have never been in the bible.
In my life I have heard 10.000 preaches and that sort of stuff and never...never ever a pastor was speaking about this. But now I read from 1 Chronickles 27 v 1- 15 which begins as follows: "This is the list of the Isrealites - heads of families- , commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and their officers, who served the king in all that concerned the army divisions that were on duty month by month throughout the year. Each division consisted of 24.000 men.
In charge of the first division for the first month was Jashobeam , son of Zabdiel . There were 24.000 men in his divison ...".
And so it goes on and on 12 times in the same words.....
And in my biblestudy, ( one in two days) I came in my regular way all through the bible, to these textes and I prayed in a sort of struggling way: "Oh Lord....I believe that the bible is your word...and that all things in the bible are useful to us.
But please Lord; give me an insight , what is the use of this place for ME AND FOR ALL MY FRIENDS and for NOW and for HERE. I know that big gold veins are on some places, for instance , where you are answering Thomas: (John 14 v 6): "I am the way and the truth and the life. no one comes to the Father exept through me". Oh Lord...that is a big gold vein. I am not asking for such a thick gold vein. But is there perhaps a very, very thin as such up here ???
And then there came a thought in my heart....and I could say: "Thank you Lord".
But do you agree, when I say that only next week I show you that little gold vein up here.... till next week then.
Ger
