Thursday

We talked about how the wicked recognize "the finger of God" (we were reading Ex. 8) and how they are unable to BELIEVE apart from regeneration during our Thursday Bible study this morning. It was an insightful nuance related to the spiritual condition of Pharaoh's sorcerers and lost people in general. The lost have some recognition (the light of nature) of the goodness of God and yet they are unwilling to believe in Him. They believe in miracles (of unknown causality) but not in the Omnipotent God who has all power and authority.

I am already looking forward to worship and fellowship on Sunday.

I am reading volumes of good theology this week. It seems the Lord has re-energized my reading by providing greater mental stamina. I find thinking deeply is much more physically demanding than exercising or physical labor. When you labor hard physically, mental exercises seem refreshing. Conversely, after much study I find physical activity to be invigorating. I was unable to exercise this morning so I will have to endure the dreaded 5:30 p.m. workout. It is a less productive time of day but it will be a testament to duty if not delight.
