I knew no more about what was going to come than Isaac did.
Whoever misleads the upright into an evil way will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will have a goodly inheritance.
The one good thing about reruns is a known outcome.
This is somewhat true of the bible, that our outcome is known. So why would we read the bible every day if it is the same yesterday and today?
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Considering everything the outward has to endure in this world during these days, it is the inward that is renewed and that is not a rerun. We have to deal with the here and now without any true expectation of results. We sojourn in a land that is not our home. Our home, our true home is in Christ Jesus with God the Father.
Our physical bodies hurt and are subject to events not of our own making because of those who do not know or believe in God Almighty. Our sphere of influence is small given we serve our Lord as best we can with our limitations.
- Matthew 17:20
He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” - Luke 17:6
And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
Has anyone actually tried to use their faith to move a mountain or a tree? I doubt it because those of us who know by faith that the mountain is a very large stoney heart and the tree is a man that has been planted in the wrong place and needs to be replanted by the stream of living waters.
Not all parables are labeled as parables. Metaphor or simile matters not in our ability by faith to extract meaning from God’s Word. Read the Word and what it has for you today has purpose and in that sense it is never a rerun.
