3.6.10

Numbers 6-7:89

Mark 12:38-13:13

13: ⁷ But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. ⁸ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.

John – Jesus said when you hear of these things DO NOT BE TROUBLED, for such things must happen…

Psalm 49:1-20

49: ¹⁶ Do not be afraid when one becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;
¹⁷ For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descend after him.
¹⁸ Though while he lives he blesses himself
(For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),

John – So often the desire to be rich, or do well for your self is the DESIRE to be praise by others more than the desire for STUFF, we all want to be valuable in the eyes of others.

Proverbs 10:27-28

10: ²⁸ The hope of the righteous will be gladness,
But the expectation of the wicked will perish.

John – This is comforting, that our HOPE “will be” gladness, not could be, would be, should be, but WILL BE!
