10.5.09 Ex24, Jn3

Exodus 24:
Moses told the israelites the laws and regulations. They all said they'd obey him because they've seen God's power. and Moses made a convenant with them. God called moses and aaron along with some other elders to to foot of the mountain, and Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain top and the rest of the people waited at the foot. to the people, God's presence was like consuming fire. and Moses was in that fire for 40 days and 40 nights.

John 3:
So in this chapter, Jesus taught Nicodemus, and John the baptists testified about Jesus.
I feel like Jesus was speaking right to me when he was teaching Nicodemus. I always tell God to work, yet, I ignore the fact that I'm always ignoring or not believing that he is constantly working. I think I pray enough, but in fact, I don't lift up everything to him. only the ones I cannot handle, i lift it up, and for the ones i can handle, I tell god to get out of my plan. and when the plans don't work, I start doubting. yet, Jesus said that if you don't believe int he earthly things, how can you believe the heavenly things. being unobservant shouldn't be my excuse for not seeing God's work. It should never be. So opne your eyes, Jean, and talk to God where ever you see him
When John testified about Jesus, he said " He mus become greater, and I must become less." I need to have that mind set. instead of always putting myself as my priority, and take God's place. Just like what Jesus said about caesar's money. Give caesar what belongs to him and God what belongs to God. the praises and honor don't belong to me but I am so consumed in it. it's like kissing an award and treating it mine, when it belongs to someone else who actually deserve it.
