Morning Bible Reading 10/27 & 28
10/27
2 Chronicles 26-27
I learned about how powerful pride can be. It has caused me to act coldly towards others due to wrong ideas. I also learned from the action of the priests in ch.26 who confronted Uzziah that I should not be afraid to point out what is wrong, even if Iâm alone in it. I want to be able to do this more. Similarly, learned from Jotham, that I should always do what is right even if most of the world is doing what is wrong, I should not be swayed by this.
Kanami learned about the dangers of pride. She shared that she does not like to receive praise as she sees it as an opening for her to become prideful. Whenever she does get praised/complimented, she receives it thankfully, but it honestly makes her feel awkward, so, she instead thanks God. To keep her from getting prideful, she remembers that God humbles the prideful. Therefore, she believes that always having a thankful heart will keep her from becoming so.
Our Weeks:
Kana shared how sheâs planning on doing pumpkin carving with her house church.
Kana asked me how my schoolâs going: itâs been really fun.
10/28
2 Chronicles 28
Kanami shared her confusion as to why Ahaz was so stubborn and why he wouldnât turn to God. We both talked about this for a little and came up with the conclusion that it was due to his pride. As a king, he mustâve had everything done for him: his servants would clothe him, feed him, etc. All this would have gave him the image that he was above everyone else. Therefore, he probably thought that repenting/turning to God was a sign of weakness and so he wanted to show that he could do everything himself. Kana shared that she could see this kind of attitude among her customers (瀟é·), overhearing their conversations. She learned from here that itâs important to know where your heart is and what your purpose on this earth is: to show Godâs glory.
Having this conversation with Kana, I shared how I could relate to King Ahazâs attitude of pride because I used to have the same type of attitude. Having done the same thing in the past, I can tell when people are trying to show themselves. The reason I did it was because I was insecure of who I was and therefore wanted to show other people that I wasnât who I thought I was. Therefore, I can understand Ahazâs attitude because this pride would blind me and I couldnât see when God was trying to help me (for example through Masami-san or Jun), so, I rebelled instead trying to show that I could do everything myself. I also learn from here that itâs important to know where my heart is (what I value) and understand that my purpose is to share with otherâs Godâs love.
Our Weeks:
I asked Kana about how the pumpkin carving went. She shared how she had a lot of fun and also showed me pictures of what each of them made. Katâs is the one in the middle (it is apparently based on a meme about a pig? Named Pibble saying âwash my bellyâ), Ulanâs is the one on the left, and Kanaâs is the one on the right (which took 3 hours to make).
I shared about how I got to sleep in that day bc I didnât have class in the morning.
