Sarcastic Definition of the Day: Cyber Monday

I just got 6 airline tickets for December to January for 30 dollars round trip from Orlando to Indianapolis. 180 dollars total for something that typically can cost a thousand. I absolutely love cyber Monday. It is on Frontier but still.......We are just ready to get on a flight now back to Orlando but these tickets were about 600 dollars for all of us. We left our luggage at my sister’s so we won’t have any extra costs for Christmas.

Also, FYI, Monday (the second day) is the only day of the seven days of the week that God didn’t bless at creation (Gen 1:6-8). Howbouthat?

So, in creation, in the natural, Monday can be a dreary day. But in the redemption of Jesus Christ, every day is blessed (Ps 118:24; Eph 1:3).

So, have a BLESSED day. :)

I don't see that in your Bible quote.

I have received no less than 35 emails from 10 different retailers over the last two weeks. Five of those only sent one email! I will give all of them none of my business!

Exactly. No blessing there. But look at each of the other seven days - God blessed each other one calling them “good” or “very good”. But not the second day, Monday.

However, if you’re a believer in Jesus Christ, you’re above creation and are instead in the mighty realm of redemption where you are blessed every day.

[Talisker]

...look at each of the other seven days - God blessed each other one calling them “good” or “very good”.

I don't know where the other days are, but this second day is an act of creation - a major act. So at the end of creating the world, when God pronounces creation "good," that includes all of it, including the second day.

Interesting.

And although I wouldn’t want to build a theology on that interpretation, it would make for an interesting sermon on The Unblessed Monday or something like that..

[Jim W N]

God’s Word blesses every individual day calling it “good” except for the second day.

1st Day 1:4
2nd Day -
3rd Day 1:12
4th Day 1:18
5th Day 1:21
6th Day 1:31
7th Day 2:3

In verse 31 it says God saw everything he had made and it was very good. But on the second day, he didn’t make anything, he divided the waters that were already there.

It’s more for fun than anything, but it is kind of interesting. Anyway, if you are a believer, EVERY day including Monday is a blessed day.

[Jim W N]

Well, it is just what’s in the text of the creation account in Genesis Chapter One and I think it’s kind of funny and kind of interesting. May explain why the worst day for the natural man might be Monday.

But redemption is better and more powerful than creation, so for the Redeemed of Jesus Christ, every day is a blessed day.

[Talisker]

In verse 31 it says God saw everything he had made and it was very good. But on the second day, he didn't make anything, he divided the waters that were already there.

Clever. But actually, by dividing the waters, in doing so He created the space between them (and that was clearly His intent, because otherwise the waters would not have to be divided). Your Gen 1:6-8 calls this space the "vault" of the "sky." So, on Monday, God created the sky.

Fairly big chunk of creation, the sky.

No argument from me on the redemption story.

It’s just that in all the times I’ve read those words I never noted that little item. But it IS something that will get filed in the trivia section for a possible future use. (Not to mean that anything in the Word is trivial..!)

An example of what I’m looking at in that ‘trivia’ section.. What did David do with the head of Goliath? Since that bit of info is only mentioned once in the Scriptures is there any significance to it being mentioned at all? (Just a thought question.. ;-)

[Jim W N]

I guess. Apparently, God wasn’t impressed.

[Jim W N]

The name “Golgotha”, where Jesus was crucified, is thought to be a possible derivative of the name “Goliath” and it is possible that is where Goliath’s head was buried. Kinda goes with the enmity between the serpent and his seed (Goliath) who will bruise his (Christ’s) heel and the woman and her seed (Jesus Christ) who will bruise his (Goliath’s) head (Gen 3:15).

More trivia for holiday parties...

Also, maybe because Satan is also called “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph 2:2).
