(Christ is speaking to people in the province of Galilee in the old region of Palestine. In those days Palestine was divided into three provinces, Judea, Samaria and Galilee. Galilee was the scene of some of the most memorable events of Jewish history.) Matthew 11:28-29 -"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Christ makes some pretty tall claims...

An Old Favorite

Posted 04-30-2012 at 09:19 AM by snowduck

Psalm 23:1-3 - 1.The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2.He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3. he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.The word "Psalms" comes from the Septuagint (the pre-Christian Greek translation of the Old Testament) meaning a poem accompanied by a musical instrument, and the 23rd Psalm has been a favorite with people for many years. I think that even those who don't read the...

Bring It On

2 Corinthians 12:10 - I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong - Like a lot of the Bible this verse says something totally opposite of what "the world" teaches. The author the Apostle Paul doesn't seem to be making any sense here. When the Lord chose Paul as an apostle, a servant of the Lord named Ananias questioned God's choosing of him, because prior to becoming a Christian Paul was known for persecuting...

Take Out The Trash

1 Peter 5:7 - Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.- 1 Peter was written by the Apostle Peter, one of Christ's original disciples to Christians in the northern provinces of Asia Minor to encourage them during a persecution. In 5:7 Peter invites them to "take out the trash" by putting ALL their troubles, concerns and worries on Jesus Christ and letting him take care of them. And it's no different today. We all have "trash" we'd like to get rid of, and Jesus will...

Big Plans

Posted 01-30-2012 at 11:38 AM by snowduck
Updated 01-30-2012 at 12:24 PM by snowduck

Proverbs 19:21- Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.- This happens to us all, we plan something but things come out differently. When this happens it might be because God has something else in mind for us. We may not agree with him and think that our idea is better, but he will always have his way. He made the plan to save us from all our sins by sending his son Jesus to "give his life as a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45.) at the time of Adam...
