Gen-12
How did Abram know God was talking to him? Was it a voice? feeling? angel?
He did not have a history or background to understand who God was nor a written book to compare the message to.

Day-8
Matt-14:1-12
I never have understood why John had to be killed. I guess that gets into the disussion God allowing verses God causing, which confuses me.

Day-7
226.4 Matt11
I always like the fact that John the Baptist, at his last moments of life needed to know if what he was doing and who he was following was indeed the Messiah. I also like that this shows the frailty of humanity and how doubt is always there and can creep in.
Jesus tells John to look at the evidence, but what if we were to look at the evidence for Jesus' existence and for proof of His identity. Our final answer may then depend on which evidence we choose to look at at that moment,
Why did tell people that John was Elijah, if they were willing to accept it. What did the peoples attitude have to do with it being the truth.

Day-6
Matt-3
I thought it was strange to read the John the Baptist said Jesus had more power than he did, mainly because I have never thought about John having power. I have always just thought about him being a preacher not having power.
Why did Jesus get baptized, was there a spiritual need for His baptism or was it merely an example?

Day-5
Luke-1
The story of Elizabeth and Mary becoming pregnant.
I have never understood why Zachariah was condemned and Mary helped when they had the same response to being told they were going to have a child under strange circumstances.
v-37 says nothing will be impossible with God. I guess I struggle with this sometimes because I have seen some times when the impossible was needed and did not come, but I have also needed the impossible and it came through better than I ever expected at other times.

Day-4
Gen-9
I like seeing rainbows because it reminds me of this verse.
What did Ham really do to Noah? I believe there is more to the story than is reveled here, because it seems like a harsh reaction to do what happened to Ham.

Day-3
Day-3 225.6 Gen-8
v-20 Noah offered sacrifices, I have never understood why the death of perfect innocent creatures pleased or atoned for sin and pleased God?
v-22 I like that God promised ebb and flow of life.
