Hindrances to Entering My Promised Land:
– Ingratitude (v.2)
– Unbelief (v.11)
– Disobedience (v.43)
Lord, let me have the faith that Joshua and Caleb had! A faith that pleases you and sets me apart! A faith that leads me to be Grateful no matter what, and to Obey whatever the cost! The kind of faith that will lead me to where you want me to be.. in Jesus name. Amen.
Jesus is the True and better Moses, interceding on behalf of wayward Israel. He is the one who went into the wilderness and remained faithful to God (and not complaining!) in our place. Love how these passages parallel today!! =)
See Christina’s response above…“feeling or showing anger because of something that is unfair or wrong.” Jesus knows that the result of a fallen world from sins entrance was both physical (disease, destruction & death)and emotional (disappointment, doubt, discouragement & despair). That was not His desire or intent when He created the world. Redemption is near! Come Lord Jesus!
It seems very random that the Israelites found a man gathering wood and then God commanded them to stone him to death. It just seems out of place! Anyone have any ideas on why that was included?
I thought the same thing Jessica, so I checked out what my study guide had to say. The punishment was so severe because the sin was so deliberate. The man knew that he was defying God by working on the sabbath. I think it’s in there because the verses before (22-30) are talking about sacrifice for unintentional sin and this man breaking the sabbath was punished for his intentional sin.
I am going in for an emergent doctors appointment on Wednesday morning. I have had three surgeries in my back and am 23. I would love prayers from you all to help decrease my anxiety for the appointment and that my pain can improve without another surgery. Thank you sweet sisters
Of course we will pray! He is faithful to complete a good work in you once begun (Philippians 1). May the truths of God which have been spoken over you continue to bring you peace as the Holy Spirit abounds where you are.
Praying!
Job 15 But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering;
he speaks to them in their affliction. Romans 8:26-28 is also a great reminder that this is all in God’s hands!
11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
Dear Father how I hope that there are days when you look down on me and say the same words to your daughter. I will never be the perfection of Jesus, but I strive to please you in all I do each day. Thank you for the example and sacrifice of Your Son so that I know Your ways. Thank you for the blessings of every day.
First off, I wanted to say, I’m so happy to be caught up with everyone. I started this plan at the beginning of lent and I’m really excited to be doing this, especially with this great group of ladies. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed everyone’s comments. Secondly, I loved how mark verse 44 ties back to Leviticus and numbers. I’ve never fully understood why Jesus tells the man to show himself to the priests and offer sacrifice. I love how the New Testament is becoming so much clearer each day!! SUCH A BLESSING

Does anyone know why some versions say “indignant” and others say “filled with compassion” in Mark 1:41?

Thank you, Heidi (and Christina)! This makes more sense now. :) The Spirit and the Bride say, “come!”

That makes sense! I totally missed the part where it was on the sabbath. Thank you!

Today I saw an example of:
HUMILITY (Mark 1:7)
OBEDIENCE (Mark 1:20)
JESUS’ AUTHORITY (Mark 1:27)
JESUS’ COMPASSION (Mark 1:34, 41)
DEPENDENCE ON THE FATHER (Mark 1:35)
I’m sure there is more, but my heart has enough to ponder for now :) Thanks, Jesus! I love you!
Amen!
