Well the first week of my Facebook fast went very well. Today though was a little harder then I had expected. I wanted to get on Facebook more today then any of the other days combined. I wanted to check up on the world... but... I couldn't. Which actually made me sad a few times throughout the day. I am still glad that I decided to go on this fast, it is going to get harder from here on out though. Overall I had a great day, because it was Wednesday I went to my Churches evening Bible study, which is always one of the highlights of my week. Wednesday's in general are a highlight because that means the week is half over! Friday is coming! Woohoo!!!!!! Keep it up we can all make it too the weekend :).
This morning I read Matthew 21:12-17, in this portion of scripture Jesus drove the men who buying, selling and cheating people out of their money in the Temple. What was supposed to be a place of worship they had turned into a business. Jesus cleared them out and when he did, people who were truly hurting came to him to be healed. They finally had the opportunity to meet with God. While he was there the children started dancing around and cheering him on in excitement. I love the way Jesus treated children, he loved them and always welcomed them when they came to him which was not usual in that day and age.
Jesus loved people of all ages and no matter what social status they were. The religious leaders again were angry at Jesus about what he did. Everything he did made them angry. This time they were mad that Jesus was allowing the Children to praise him as the son of David. Jesus then quotes to them out of Psalm, but he doesn't just quote them he starts out by saying haven't you read this section of scripture? Jesus was so cool. He knew how to get too religious leaders, they were so proud of their knowledge yet they were missing everything that was in front of their face. Again Jesus point out that he is the person that had been prophesied to come save the world since the beginning of time. Yet the religious leaders still did not believe the truth. Then Jesus just walked away. I love how Jesus always spoke his mind, he was never afraid because he had the truth on his side. I hope that I can be like Jesus one day in not only caring for those who are hurting around me but being able to speak the truth, even if it makes me unpopular.
