Tomorrow is the last full day in the OT. Then it's off to the NT. I can't wait.
Nahum started out with a statement that I understand more now that I'm a father. He says in 1:2 - "The Lord is a jealous God." Today Audrey was very affectionate wanting to give us hugs and kisses. I absolutely love it! But, I realize that this day will likely come to an end. There will be a day when another man (or boy in my eyes) will come along and be far more cooler, better looking, and wiser then old dad. That boy may in fact choose to marry my daughter and in some ways, thinking of these early days, my heart will break.
God is just as jealous with our love, but yet I run to things that appear to be cooler, better looking, and wiser than God. Though I cannot know what it is like to sacrifice my son for the sins of the world, I do think that now (thanks to Audrey) I know what it is like to be a jealous Father.
