My Bible thoughts for 11Sep24

In The Bible Hub, you have easy access to multiple versions, and can read the verse with slight variances.

KJV – The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
NIV – The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
NLT – The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”
ESV – The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”

The Amplified combines them:
The LORD will fight for you while you [only need to] keep silent and remain calm.”

Yahweh will fight for me, if and when I –
Hold my peace
be still
stay calm
be silent

1 Peter 5:6-7 – after some admonitions to everyone in the church, and before more admonitions to everyone in the church, Peter says this:
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

My battles are often with anxiety.

I wrote a series, or I started a series, about Giants in my Land.

I haven’t written about the giant anxiety.

Today, I was asking the Lord why I was just feeling off.
Because I have things I’m worrying about, that are not things that I can do anything about.

I AM WORRYING ABOUT THINGS THAT I CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT.

These are the battles that I need the Lord to fight in my place.
These are the battles where I need to apply my faith.
These are the battles where I need to fall upon grace.
These are the the battles where I need to be still and know HE is God.

I’ve written about faith – In Advent day 18 – but it’s needed all the time.

I’ve written about grace – so much about grace – but here’s one from a study for Lent – Lent day 20. Grace has been a concept that a friend of mine has pointed out to me for many many (decades?) years.

I’ve written about ‘be still’ – in Be still – wait upon the Lord and in my Marching into Mark – chapter 4

Why do I still need reminded? Because I am human.
The more often that I remind myself, the more often it comes naturally.
I am building habits of taking thoughts captive.

2 Corinthians verse about taking thoughts captive (https://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/10-5.htm) follows this one:
2 Cor 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

I am starting to think about the angels given charge over us to guard us in all of our ways! Psalm 91:11

I’m reminded of the prophet Elisha, in 2 Kings 6 – when his servant was worried.
“Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

So, as I think on these battles with anxiety that I am having – I will meditate on Ex 14:14 – The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
and
Romans 8:31 – What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

And if that’s not enough – we always have Psalm 23 and Jesus’ words – Peace I leave with you – John 14:27.

May I be able to remember to be calm, quiet, and at peace while I allow God to fight my battles – and calm me in the storm.

Mark 13 (Parallel Stories in Matthew 24)
- Mk 13:1-2 The Temple
- As He was going out of the temple complex, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look! What massive stones! What impressive buildings!”
- Mk 13²Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here on another that will not be thrown down!”
- Mk 13:3-13 The End Times
  - Mk 13⁶Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and they will deceive many.
  - Mk 13⁸For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines.^[a] These are the beginning of birth pains.
  - ⁹“But you, be on your guard! They will hand you over to sanhedrins,^[b] and you will be flogged in the synagogues. You will stand before governors and kings because of Me, as a witness to them.
  - ¹¹So when they arrest you and hand you over, don’t worry beforehand what you will say. On the contrary, whatever is given to you in that hour—say it. For it isn’t you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
  - ¹³And you will be hated by everyone because of My name. But the one who endures to the end will be delivered.
- Mk 13:14-22 Great Tribulation
- Mk 13 ¹⁴“When you see the abomination that causes desolation^[e] standing where it should not” (let the reader understand^[f]), “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains! ¹⁵A man on the housetop must not come down or go in to get anything out of his house. ¹⁶And a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes. ¹⁷Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days!
- Mk 13¹⁹For those will be days of tribulation, the kind that hasn’t been from the beginning of the world,^[h] which God created, until now and never will be again!
- Mk 13²⁰Unless the Lord limited those days, no one would survive.^[i] But He limited those days because of the elect, whom He chose.
- Mk 13²²For false messiahs^[j] and false prophets will rise up and will perform signs and wonders to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
- Mk 13:24-27 AFTER THE TRIBULATION
- Mk 13²⁴“But in those days, after that tribulation:
- Mk 13:24 The sun will be darkened,
  and the moon will not shed its light;
- Mk 13:25 the stars will be falling from the sky,
  and the celestial powers will be shaken.
- Mk 13²⁶Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
- Mk 13 ²⁷He will send out the angels and gather His elect from the four winds, from the end of the earth to the end of the sky.
- Mk 13:28-31 Parable of the Fig Tree
- Mk 13²⁹In the same way, when you see these things happening, know^[k] that He^[l] is near—at the door!
- Mk 13³¹Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
- Mk 13:32-37 No One Knows
- Mk 13³²“Now concerning that day or hour no one knows—neither the angels in heaven nor the Son—except the Father.
- Mk 13³³Watch! Be alert!^[m] For you don’t know when the time is coming.
- Mk 13³⁵Therefore be alert, since you don’t know when the master of the house is coming—whether in the evening or at midnight or at the crowing of the rooster or early in the morning. ³⁶Otherwise, he might come suddenly and find you sleeping. (Remember the 10 Virgin Parable)
- Mk 13³⁷And what I say to you, I say to everyone: Be alert!”
- WATCH AND BE ALERT!

The Cavern

On March 8th, some things happened that really shook me, in the middle of my shook life. It was like a straw that threatened to break this camel’s back. But with the prayers of friends, and the voices from a mental health group I am part of, I got through it.

Here’s my poem, The Cavern

They say don’t move.
They say we’re going to turn out the lights
They say everything will be alright
Just don’t move.

Darkness hits.
Darkness that surrounds and envelopes your flesh
Darkness that can be felt
Just don’t move.

This is a cavern.
This is a cave.
This is a place so deep and down
Just don’t move.

No one is near,
or that is my fear.
Or am I afraid I might spin out and fall
Where was that edge after all?

Cold seeping in
It envelopes my skin
The screams I screamed in the night
Are pushed down within.

The lights will come back
The day will arise
But right now, I can’t trust my eyes
Just don’t move.

Where is that rail?
Where is that edge?
Did I place myself in the center of
This death defying ledge?

I hear someone
“Turn on the light’
We have seen what we came for,
Now just stop this fright.”

But the tour guide is gone
He’s left us alone
We realize that we are now on our own.

Where is that switch?
Where can it be?
And do I risk death to move, try to see?

Someone starts to cry
Someone else says “I’m cold”
We reach out to touch each other, to give us some hope.

Where is the light?
Where is the guide?
Why is this tour turning into a fright?

What did I do?
What did I say
That made the tour guide leave us that day?

“I have the rail” says someone in dark,
I think this is where we can get a spark.”
“I’m right behind you, I’ll hold you on land”
“We’ll do this together, and move hand by hand.”

Single file
We walked slowly along
Then someone broke into a song

But it’s dark!
It’s so damp and cold.
Being afraid to move is getting very old.

We know we are here
Together as one
The song lifted up, and
Marching on, one by one.

“I feel wires behind the rail”
The excitement caused a rustle,
“Maybe we will get out of this jail!
And some began to tussle

“The thing we need to remember,
Is we are in this all together.
Calm down, and steady on.”
While the one continued song.

It’s so dark
It’s so damp,
You can’t see your hand,
not even where you should stand.

The guide let us down.
In the cavern alone
Deep down in the ground
No idea if we’ll be found.

The tension is rising,
The hope to despair
With each adding moment
Doubts that we’ll be spared.

“Wait! I think I’ve got it,”
Says the one in the front,
And with that we hear a click,
And the light is on

The guide stood there
Looking proud as could be
“You took on the challenge
From your fears you are free.”

I stood in amazement
Full of anger, and dread
What was he saying,
Did he get in my head.

I didn’t ask for a challenge
I just paid for a tour
What is this freedom he speaks of
Terror du jour?

But wait, all those people.
Where are they, I said.
“You were the one walking
This valley of death.”

I was alone the whole time,
So who did I hear?
Did the dark point out parts of me t
That i didn’t know near?

What is this valley,
This cavern of death?
Where I could hear every heart beat
And taste every breath.

“Your heart that is wounded,
Your thoughts of the end.
You are stronger together
And over darkness you’ve won.”

“I’ll guide you and teach you,
But I’ll test you to see
If you have been listening
And following me.”

“I know where you are healed,
I know where you are strong.
You were never near the edge
You were in front of me all along.”

“I sent you those voices
To encourage your walk
And I timed the tests specifically,
So alone you won’t walk.”

“Now rest, my little one
Enjoy the sun
I’m always with you,
Even when I seem gone.”

“The cavern is your heart
With the wounds oh so deep,
But I have built a path
That will, with time, set you free.”

It was me that walked bravely
It was me that held strong
It was me that spoke encouragement
And from my mouth was the song.

I have written about suicide, but here’s my thoughts on what’s the big deal.

Mindful Meditating

choose a verse,
set a timer for 5 minutes, or whatever works for you.

example:

¹³But the one who endures to the end will be delivered.
NIV but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
BUT the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
But THE one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
But the ONE who stands firm to the end will be saved.
But the one WHO stands firm to the end will be saved.
But the one who STANDS firm to the end will be saved.
But the one who stands FIRM to the end will be saved.

…and so on. This will cause you to look at the verse more intently, and may have you memorize it before your five minutes are done.

  - Itty Bitty Bible Study on Jonah
- Mt 16:5-12 Yeast discussions
  - ⁵When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. ⁶“Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
  - ⁹Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? ¹⁰Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
  - ¹²Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
- Mt 16:13-17 The Son of Man
  - ¹³When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
  - ¹⁶Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
  - ¹⁷Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.
- Mt 16:18-20 Peter and keys to kingdom

    - see question below
  - ⁹I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be^[d] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be^[e] loosed in heaven.”
- Mt 16:21-23 – Jesus reveals Jerusalem events
  - Jesus is going to be killed
  - Peter says no, never
  - ²³Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
  - Poor Peter!
- Mt 16:24-28
  - ²⁴Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. ²⁵For whoever wants to save their life^[f] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. ²⁶What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? ²⁷For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.

It doesn’t matter which version you choose. It can be digital or paper. You can use one of those fancy coloring bibles and do a page or coloring along with the passage.

I will mostly do Holman Christian Standard Bible because of their copyright freedoms.

Matthew 15
- Mt 15:1-20 Clean hands or clean hearts?
  - 1-9 Reprimanding the Pharisees
    - make rulings to undermine the point of the law and benefit themselves.
    - “‘These people honor me with their lips,
      but their hearts are far from me.
      ⁹They worship me in vain;
      their teachings are merely human rules.’^[c]”
  - 10-20what washing hands was a foreshadowing of:
    - ¹⁰Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. ¹¹What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”
    - ¹⁸But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. ¹⁹For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. ²⁰These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
- Mt 15:21-28 The Faith of the Canaanite Woman – how to press in for answers
  - Came to Jesus – request #1
    - ²²A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
  - Ignored
    - ²³Jesus did not answer a word.
    - So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
    - ²⁴He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
  - Request #2
    - ²⁵The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
  - Rebuked – potentially a denial
    - ²⁶He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
  - Request/Response #3
    - ²⁷“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
  - Rewarded for persistent Faith
    - ²⁸Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
- Mt 15:29-31 Jesus Healing multitudes
  - ³¹The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.
- Mt 15:32 – 38 Feeding the Four Thousand
  - Jesus’ practical compassion
    - ³²Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”
  - disciples forget previous miracles
    - ³³His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”
  - What DO you have?
    - “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
  - Prayer of Thanksgiving
    - ³⁶Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people.
  - How many ate?
    - ⁷They all ate and were satisfied.
    - ³⁸The number of those who ate was four thousand men, besides women and children.
  - Exceedingly Abundantly above what you ask or think:
    - Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
    - NO WASTE – LEFTOVERS!
- Mt 15:39 – Moving on to the next place
  - - ³⁹After Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of Magadan.
- Here is an excellent comparison between the feeding of the five thousand and the feeding of the four thousand.
