Numbers, Chapter 14,
Verse 9
Only do not rebel against the LORD! You need not be afraid of the people of the land, for they are but food for us!
Their protection has left them, but the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.”
There’s a happy thought.
The Israelites were a hard people but little did they know that God would turn
that around to Him being food for us. Yes, we are all hard people. Yes, we eat
our young. Look at the recent comments coming out of Planned Parenthood about making
so much money from tissue sales they will be driving Lamborghini's.
O LORD, you have probed
me and you know me; you know when I sit and when I stand; you understand my thoughts from afar. My journeys and my rest you scrutinize, with all my ways you are familiar. Even before a word is on
my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know the whole of it.
Behind me and before, you hem me in and rest your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; too lofty for me to attain. (Ps. 139:1-6)
“Woe to you, scribes and
Pharisees, you hypocrites. You pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin,
and have neglected the weightier things of the law: judgment and mercy and fidelity. But these you should have done, without neglecting the others. Blind guides, who strain out the gnat and swallow the camel!
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You cleanse the outside of cup and dish,
but inside they are full of plunder and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup, so that the outside also may be clean.” (Mt. 23:23-26)
