I had started the continuous Bible reading a couple of months ago but due to laziness and a vacation I lost track. I began today and decided to start Psalms and Mathew. I will write a brief about what I read and I may put in my thoughts on it.
Psalms 1
True happiness
Happy are those who reject the company of evil men,their advice and their examples.
They obey the Lord and enjoy it. They study it daily. They flourish like trees beside a stream and give fruit. They do not dry up like leaves. They succeed in everything they do.
Evil men are like straw easily blown away.
Righteous men will be guided and protected by the Lord.
Both will be separated from each other by the Lord.
Mathew
I read Matthew Chapter 1 verses 18 onwards.
It talks about the Birth of Jesus.
Mary and Joseph were engaged .but she came to know by the Holy Spirit that the Lord had blessed her to be pregnant. Joseph was an honest ,upright person but was scared of social disgrace. So he decided to break the engagement privately.
The Lord,Almighty and ever observing,through his angel changed his mind. The angel said ' Joesph,Mary is blessed with a child and is conceived by the Holy Spirit. He will be named Jesus. He will save the people from sins.'
Thus God, at the very beginning, explains his plans to Joseph. God knew that his son was born to love ,to rule , to serve and to die for others. He died for our redemption.
All this was prohesised and thus had to come true. He said ' A virgin will be pregnant and have a son to be called Immanuel (God is with us)'.
