Bible reading and notes 5/13

Psalm 60 - sometimes life is devastating, we get hit with tragedy, trauma, and unfair circumstances. Nothing is for waste, the lord takes all of my adversity and sorts it out for my good and His glory.

John 8 - Jesus demonstrates gods mercy in real time by not condemning the woman caught in adultery. Whoever is without sin should cast the first stone. Nobody is clean, not even one. No sin is above another in the kingdom, sin comparison leads to death. I pray for the kind of mercy, empathy and grace that Jesus displays when he frees this woman. I am a man of grace and mercy. Jesus leaves her with a command, leave your life of sin. That same command is given to me.

Judges 16 - Samson and Delilah, the gaslighting and manipulation on Delilah’s side. On the surface, it’s easy to look at Samsons situation and see the manipulation from her. It’s easy to judge from the outside looking in. When we are immersed in a scenario, especially with somebody we love we can lose our sense of logic and the ones we trust the most hurt us the most. I think proverbs deliberately describes wayward women as such a downfall to men because of situations just like this.
