4 Many examples of Jesus performing miracles

5 Jesus says He does not seek to do His own will but seeks to do the will of God

Application

This group of scriptures is a re-telling of some of the stories we all ready heard. I think they are placed in the Bible again because Gid wants to remind us that every word in the Bible is important and we must pay attention to what God is trying to teach us.

Prayer

Bible in 90 Days Day 76 Using the SOAP Method

Scripture

Luke 10 to Luke 20: 1 - 19

Observations

10 Even though Jesus sent His workers forward as sheep among wolves, he still gave them power to conquer and be successful in their endeavors

11 The Lord’s prayer

12 We are told to be afraid only of what can cast us into hell

13 Jesus prophesies about his rising on the third day

14 We must give up all to follow Christ

15 Heaven rejoices over one lost child coming home as anyone rejoices when a lost thing is found

16 Hell is so horrific, those who are condemned to hell would want warning to go out to those left behind to warn them to change their ways

17 When the rapture happens, people will be called from where they are, and those not called to God will be left behind

18 An interesting verse, number 19, Jesus asks why He is called good when only God is good. It is interesting because Jesus is God. This is an idea I will have to study later.

19 A reminder again that Christ came to save the lost

20 Jesus acted upon God’s authority

Application

This group of scriptures reminds me that we are part of the family of God. We are His children. This means that we have the authority and permission to go to God and talk to Him as we do to our earthly parents. It is nice to know that the God we serve thinks of us as those who belong, as family.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for being my Father, my saviour, a person whom I know personally and who is real in my life. Please continue to help me to be a better wife and mother. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Matthew 16 to Matthew 26: 1-56

Observations

15 Jesus told His disciples of the problems, persecution and death he would face

16 Jesus asks, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?"

17 Faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains

18 We have power on earth to make commitments that are honored by God in heaven

19 Divorce was allowed under the law because people have hard hearts

20 It is good to know what you want from God and to ask for it as James’ and John’s mother did, but it is better to ask for God’s will to be done

21 Jesus continued to discuss the importance of faith

22 "Many are called, but few are chosen"

23 Jesus talks about how the greatest shall be least and the least the greatest

24 The power of the church is not in the building, but the spirit of God that inhibits it

25 One should always be ready for the call of God

26 Jesus tells Peter that Peter will betray Jesus

　

Application

　

My favorite portion of these scriptures is the part that says mustard seed faith can move mountains. This is one portion of the Bible that I know I live, I constantly look for miracles and expect the impossible because I know my God can deliver. I have faith, I cannot see how He will deliver and protect me, but my mustard seed faith makes all these things happen.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I thank You and praise You for your many blessings. I am so grateful and happy that you are my Lord and saviour. I pray that you continue to help my faith to grow and develop so that I can be stronger in my relationship with you. In Jesus name I pray, Amen

14 John the Baptist is killed and beheaded

15 Jesus says that the things going into the mouth do not defile, but the things that come out do

Application

What this section of the Bible reminds me of is how Jesus talks in parables and that the parables are not designed to be understood by everyone, but instead are revealed to different people at different times.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for waking me up clothed in my right mind with my family. Thank you for keeping me safe and for being my Lord. Lord I thank you because you have given me too many blessings to remember. I ask that you continue tohelp me be what you want me to be and I will give you the glory, honor and praise.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for being my God. Thank you for being my saviour. Thank you for your many blessings. Lord please help me to stay on the path you have set for me so that I do not fall away from the center of your will and your love. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Bible in 90 days day 62

Bible in 90 Days Day 62 Using the SOAP Method

Observations

Application

This group of scriptures again describes in detail the great amount of punishment and suffering that will befall those who fail to follow the precepts of God. It is truly scary just how much pain comes from not following the word of God. It is incredible to me that the Israelites who saw God directly and experienced the plagues of the Egyptians and the parting of the Red Sea still could turn from God to false idols!

　

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for waking me up safe and secure with my family. Lord please help me to be a better wife and mother. Help me to be what you want me to be. Help me to be a better wife and mother. Lord I want to stay in your will and to stay away from iniquity. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. (Jeremiah 1:8,9). I have always thought it was wonderful that God would put the words in your mouth. With God doing that your words will always be proper, well tempered and correct. So often it is our mouths that get us into trouble and bring destruction upon us. If we could learn to harness our mouths, our lives would be better. Perhaps this is a lesson to harness our mouths and seek wasys to get closer to God.
