Haggai 1-2: 1- Being selfish and not humble displeases the Lord. Look what our Father wants first, then you shall be rewarded. Seek God, not self worth.

2 - Even though God's people didn't always listen, God still loves them all and gives them every chance to change. To do God's work. And HE even tells them they will be blessed. Why do we stray from God? So much good happens when we listen to our Father.

I found today’s reading and Haggai very encouraging personally :-) be strong, don’t be afraid, I am with you, my spirit remains among you, I will bless you, my glory will be upon you… All promises found in chapters 1 and two. I the Lord have spoken :-)

Haggai Was a really good read. It always amazes me how God's word speaks different things at different times. Just this time around I saw the correlation between God imploring them to build his house first before working on their own and the verse in Matthew 6:33 "seek ye first the kingdom." Obviously our perspective and priorities are important

Malachi 1-2: 1 - If you have 2 hammers and one is better than the other, and a friend asks to borrow it. Which one would you give? Remember, do not expect anything in return. Even though sacrifice is hard, it is selfless. Since we glorify God, why not give Him our best? He will bless in so many ways.

2 - Be true to God. If you do this, you will be true to yourself. Bringing shame upon yourself brings shame to God. He will then curse and punish. Live by the book. Live by the word. Give glory and honor to the Sovereign Lord.

I was surprised how many times the Lord referred to himself as “the Lord of heaven‘s armies “in the first two chapters of Malachi… 14 times… Gotta be significant :-)

I agree that there must be a reason for the repetition of the name: Lord of Heaven's armies! That is actually Yahweh Tsebaoth (Lord of Hosts).

Matthew 1 - 14 generations from Abraham to king David, 14 generations from king David to the Babylonian exile, 14 generations from the Babylonian exile to Jesus the Messiah… Seems like the number 14 has some significance :-)

Malachi 3-4: 3:7 Ever since the days of your ancestors, you have scorned my decrees and failed to obey them. Now return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “But you ask, ‘How can we return when we have never gone away?’
If you have ever turned against God, you have gone away. If you ever have turned your back on God, you have gone away. Please stay with God, for He shall protect and proper.

4:2 “But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.
I am looking forward to this day. But before I go, I will strive to do God's work and make disciples.

Matthew 2: 9 After this interview the wise men went their way. And the star they had seen in the east guided them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were filled with joy!

Filled with JOY to see the Son of God! May we be blessed that Jesus was born.

I never made the connection between John the Baptist clothing and Elijah 2kings 1:8. Both wore "hairy garments and a leather belt". Further supporting that John came in the "spirit of Elijah" interesting. I do wonder where the act of baptizing came from though. Doesn't seem to be any mention of it until now

Dan Beck

4/14/2022 03:58:31 am

Matthew 3: John didn't want to baptize Jesus. But Jesus said, “It should be done, for we must carry out all that God requires.” So John agreed to baptize him. Even though Jesus is the Son of God, He is humble enough to be cleansed from sin. And Jesus was sinless. If we could understand Jesus better. Our lives would be so much more complete.

Matt. 3:16 a glimpse of the Trinity…The Voice of the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit

Did anyone else notice the irony: Matthew 3:17 “ this is my dearly loved son who brings me great joy, then Matthew 4:1 “ then Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil“ hmm 🤔 If that was the case for Jesus then we should probably not be surprised that the fire trials are come on us

Matthew 4:23-24 “ he healed every kind of disease and illness… People begin bringing all who were sick… And whatever their sickness or disease or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed he healed them all“
I am trusting God is restoring this healing ministry of Jesus today through the church :-)

Matthew 5: Live as God intends us to live. Think before you react. Pray before you speak. Hard to do what is right when it does not benefit you. Even harder to love your enemy. But God blesses those who look at the good. The rewards are plentiful. Just need to keep the faith and believe.

Matthew 6: So much of this Scripture is so real. Being humble. Worry about all the wrong stuff. Verse 26 really puts perspective on life. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the same yesterday, today and forever. Live for God today. Plan for the future, but live today.

Matthew 6-15
Digging deeper into this verse. Jesus teaches us that there should be no compromise in our readiness or willingness to forgive the offenses of others. It was one of my sins that was hard to break because of the bitterness and destruction it was bringing in my own spirit, because it fails to reflect God's character in my life.
If we refuse to forgive others, Christ will not forgive us. He will not answer our prayers because we choose to hold on to sin. this is an important principle because God uses it as a measure for forgiving us.

Matthew 7: 13 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter.

Heavens gate is narrow. And the road can be difficult. Where do you stand?

Avoid hypocrisy. Live Gods will, don't just try and teach it.

Matthew 8: Faith can be so hard to see and keep. Even those who saw Jesus perform the casting of demons, and healing the sick, were scared a\or had their doubts. Some even asked Him to leave. What would you do? How do you keep your Faith? I question myself. And I pray i do have Faith.

Matthew 9: I truly enjoy reading this chapter. The healings Jesus did are wonderful. Verses 30 & 31 I get a little confused. 30 Then their eyes were opened, and they could see! Jesus sternly warned them, “Don’t tell anyone about this.” 31 But instead, they went out and spread his fame all over the region.

Why does Jesus ask the 2 NOT to tell anyone? Yet they tell everyone? Explanation?

Matt. 10:4 the first instruction of Jesus to those He was sending into the harvest field…into harvest ministry was “heal the sick. I can’t help but wonder what does that mean for us today as we embark on/venture out into harvest work…harvest ministry

Matthew 10: 19 When you are arrested, don’t worry about how to respond or what to say. God will give you the right words at the right time.

How often do we allow God to speak through us? We alone will not survive without God. We would be empty and not know how to explain anything. or understand the beauty God created. Dead inside. Allowing God to speak through us, shows how we trust Him. Shows others we know Christ.

Matt. 12:30 “ anyone who isn’t with me opposes me and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me“ There is no middle ground… we are either for or against him… Serving him or opposing him. That’s a word to think about 🤔

Matthew 13: 10 His disciples came and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you talk to the people?”

11 He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets[a] of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not. 12 To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.

Matthew 13:49-50 says about the end of age and the angels will come forth and take out the wicked among us and throw them in the lake of fire. 🤔 Wondering if it's a parallel to.. there is one standing in the field one will be taken and one left. Could it be the evil people will be taken out first? 🤷‍♀️

Matthew 14: Jesus healed many people. Jesus fed many people. Jesus taught many people. People from all over came to get healed, and learned from His teachings.

Matthew 15: Couple verses struck me, but this one in particular.

26 Jesus responded, “It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.”

27 She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their masters’ table.”

28 “Dear woman,” Jesus said to her, “your faith is great. Your request is granted.” And her daughter was instantly healed.

I would love to have that kind of faith and wisdom,

Matt. 15:12 I love Jesus answer when the disciples came to him and ask him if he realized he offended the pharisees by what he said. His answer was… Ignore them. That’s priceless and a good word for us because if we faithfully speak truth in these days ahead we will be offending people:-(

Mathew 20: 16 “So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last.” This is very similar to Matthew 19: 30 But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.

Daniel 1-4

While reading through this I am encouraged to pray that my children will be "fit to serve The King" by the standards set in Daniel 1!

A funny thought... I wonder how upset the rest of the guys (not Daniel and crew) were that they had the "choice foods" taken from them 🤣😂 and then they were given veggies and water.

The last few verses from King Nebuchadnezzars account in Daniel 4 gives me the good chills... insane that he grazed on grass for... (7 years?) But this is so beautiful and gives me such hope 💙
"Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble."

Praise Him. He is faithful.
