This is a continuation of my ongoing report. I recently decided to listen to the Bible in an effort to gain a closer relationship with God. I purposefully listen not with the intent to study. I have a hard time reading the Bible I just start looking things up and I don't make much progress. I am listening to the Bible Experience (http://www.inspiredby.com/) which is a dramatized NIV version with many famous African American leaders, singers, actors and artists. (Even Samuel L. Jackson) As I listen through the Bible, hopefully I will make it all the way through, I will post notes and thoughts I have.
This book is a very interesting if you think of it as someone talking about their relationship with God. Many of the phrases are ones I have heard before.
I noticed up to this point why is Jacob called Jacob and Israel on an inconsistent basis.
Chapter 22 sounds like Jesus on the cross. Way to accurate. Crazy accurate.
One point talked about was you may think that you got away with it just because judgment was not swift. Watch out it is coming.
There is a total range of emotion covered in this book. Happy and sadness. Some of the psalms are deeply emotional.
I had notes on the following Psalms 34, 42, 46, 50, 22, 34, 26, 51, 58, 73, 78, 83, 97, 99 102, 105 & 127
