I’m Hungry

Exodus16

The Hebrews on the 15th day of the second month since departing Egypt are complaining. 
Big time complaining. Like:
“. . . You have taken us out into this desert to let this whole assembly starve to death!”  (verse 3)

That’s what they said. 

Interesting, they were wishing they had died in Egypt — but here the thought of starving to death was not welcomed. 
Humans. We are a messed up bunch — until JESUS is LORD of us. 

Verse 18.    . . .  each person had gathered according to his appetite.
This is speaking of the Manna that GOD sent to them each morning.
They got quail in the evening. 

This is my observation – we do the same.
We gather from the Bread of Heaven – The Word of GOD according to our appetite.
We eat the amount we want.
This is why it is so important that we pray for GOD to increase our appetite – to literally ask Him to create in us a hunger for His Word.
If we ask and keep on asking HE WILL.

Would you say, we watch television, YouTubes, listen to music, etc., etc. according to our appetite?

What are our appetites? 
What do we crave?
How can we know?
What say ye?

Sunday Evening, Monday Morning

Leave a comment

It is later on Sunday evening than I would like for it to be for me to be opening a blank page to write for Monday morning, and at this keystroke, I am wondering what can I say. What can I write that will start your day or come alongside later in the day or even the evening with a word of encouragement? 

How was your weekend? 
Did you spend it with family and/or friends?
Did you celebrate the people in your life that you love?
Did you give thanks for them?
Did you laugh? Did you cry? 
Did you watch birds and squirrels? Even a hawk or two? 

Did you pray? Did you enjoy JESUS?

If you did — you had a blessed weekend!

    for he is coming to judge the earth.

34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
35 Cry out, “Save us, O God of our salvation!
Gather and rescue us from among the nations,
so we can thank your holy name
and rejoice and praise you.” source 

Indeed our GOD is coming. 
Amen and amen.

Perfection with Skin on His Face

Luke 7

In the town of Nain there was a widow and on the day YESHUA came to town she was burying her only son. 
If my schooling is correct in the First Century a widow with no children would have no means of support. 
A terrible, tragic fate for a woman. 

As I read verses 11 – 15 of Luke 7, other verses came to mind (and yes I had to do a duck-duck-go search to locate the Biblical address but I found them) John 19:25-27.

 

25 Nearby Yeshua’s execution stake stood his mother, his mother’s sister Miryam the wife of K’lofah, and Miryam from Magdala.
26 When Yeshua saw his mother and the talmid whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Mother, this is your son.”
27 Then he said to the talmid, “This is your mother.” And from that time on, the talmid took her into his own home.  source 

Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. Talmid – Disciple

 

You see JESUS made sure He left His mother with a means of support after His death (and return to HEAVEN.)
He made sure she was taken care of. 
And for the widow of Nain? He did this: 

11 Soon afterward Jesus went with his disciples to the village of Nain, and a large crowd followed him. 
12 A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow’s only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her. 
13 When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. “Don’t cry!” he said. 
14 Then he walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped. “Young man,” he said, “I tell you, get up.” 
15 Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk! And Jesus gave him back to his mother.  source 

I don’t know about you but this is just one of the passages that let me know JESUS was/is PERFECT MAN and PERFECT GOD.
