Thoughts on the Old Testament

 I've been reading the old testament these past few months. If I had to describe the old testament, I'd use the word Rich. There's the Law (the Torah), there's God's people (the Jews), there's the psalms, Ruth, Deborah, miracles, waters being parted, celebrations of the Passover, Moses, David, kings who fail God's law and future kings who honor it. The angel of the Lord appears and the Holy Spirit moves. There are prophecies for the future. The Old Testament makes up two thirds of the Bible. But one of the most important things- the biggest thing that moves me- is that God's love for the Jews is revealed. He wins battles; he calls them back to himself constantly. God moves for them. There's so much richness and value in the Old Testament. There's hope.
