Day 9's theme was "Red." The first verse I thought of was this.
"The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of
the great and glorious day of the Lord." - Acts 2:20 (NIV)
It doesn't actually have the word "red" in it, so I also found this one.
"Then another sign
appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and
seven crowns on his heads." - Revelation 12:3 (NIV)
Then today's theme is "Emotion." There are so many I could choose for this topic. The Bible can be a very emotional book. :) The obvious choice for today's verse is the shortest verse in the Bible.
"Jesus wept." - John 11:35
Sometimes, I think we tend to portray Jesus as an un-emotional person, and we treat emotions almost like they are sin. I've even heard people say "You know, the Bible doesn't ever say that Jesus laughed..." I don't think they're trying to say that Jesus didn't laugh, but it came across as if they thought of Jesus as a very serious person. I don't agree. Laughter is a gift from God. Of course, it can be used in the wrong way, to make others feel bad, but true, joyful laughter is beautiful. I believe that Jesus laughed with His friends, just as much as I believe He wept for them. We also know that Jesus got angry. He drove money-changers out of the temple with a whip! Jesus understands our emotions, because He experienced them too. Interesting thought. Well, that's it for now. :)
