Notice on a slight format change:

Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.

July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).

QT 29 Jan 2020, Luke 4:41, God has proved his existence by visiting us in human form


Luke 4:41 (ESV) — And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

NOTE: Clearly, Luke was intent on communicating the fact that Jesus was the Son of God, the Christ. If the demons had been wrong, would he had bother to mention it (more than once as we have already seen)? Jesus was the Son of God. He was not a son of God, but the Son of God. However that can be, he was God and he was a man at the same time. We cannot wrap our heads around the concept and it is certainly an issue for other religions, but in God's amazing complexity, he took the form of a man. God is one and yet also three persons. The second person in the trinity took human form. There is an argument that you cannot prove God, so therefore "God-solutions" should not be a part of science. But God proved himself to the world by actually coming down in human form. That is a whole lot better proof than the existence of dark matter or multi-universes (both ideas intended to fill the gap that science can't).

PRAYER: Father, the more I study, the more I am convinced of your proof. The world is a dark place and it is getting darker. It is hard to see your hand in such a sin-filled creation. But I am convinced. The end is coming -- how close, I do not know -- but you are coming to execute judgment soon.
