3.23.10

Numbers 36:1-13
Deuteronomy 1:1-46

Luke 5:29-6:11

6:³ But Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: ⁴ how he went into the house of God, took and ate the showbread, and also gave some to those with him, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat?”

John - Jesus always pointed them back to the truth, connecting it with what they knew was in the word. God still connects us to the truth this is one reason its so important to take in His word..

Psalm 66:1-20

66: ¹³ I will go into Your house with burnt offerings;
I will pay You my vows,
¹⁴ Which my lips have uttered
And my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.


John - When we are in trouble we promise God all kind of things, don't be quick to utter things to God because He will expect you to follow through them, if you do make a vow...DO IT!

Proverbs 11:24-26

11:²⁴ There is one who scatters, yet increases more;
And there is one who withholds more than is right,
But it leads to poverty.
²⁵ The generous soul will be made rich,
And he who waters will also be watered himself.
²⁶ The people will curse him who withholds grain,
But blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.

John - WOW, scattering you INCREASE, withholding more than right leads you to poverty. You can see Gods system is exactly opposite of the thought process of the main stream.
