LIFE LESSON FOR TODAY, 4/25/14

-










The Bible  mentions the names 
of many plants, trees,and herbs
used for medicinal purposes.Oils
were extracted from several trees 
like the sandalwood, the myrrh,the
frankincense, the  cassia, and the 
cinnamon.  The aloe mentioned in
the Bible is the sane as the sandal
wood  tree.  This tree should not
be confused with aloe vera plant.

The fruit from olive trees are used 
to extract oil for food and medicine.
I have discovered several scriptures
in the Bible that describe when and 
how these trees were used.   

I found these subject of herbs and
oils very informative. I have found
extensive information in the Bible
on the internet about it.  For the 
past few years I have been trying
to use herbal remedies .

This week I'll give scriptures that 
show how these herbs and plants
were used for treating the people's 
wounds, scars, and other trauma.

I have included pictures of the trees 
used for medicinal purposes.  Some 
of the oils were used by  the  Levite 
priest for anointing the people.A lot
of the tree resin was used to make 
incense  to burn in the temples and 
tabernacles.  They have a pleasant
aroma.

The Lord healed many people and
cured many diseases. This subject
has already been discussed in my
other blogs. The Bible shows that
the people relied on healing from
the Lord and herbal medicine.



Here are some scriptures I discovered that
shows that there were physicians present
during Bible days.




GENESIS 50:2

 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. 
 
2 CHRONICLES 16:12
And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians. 


JOB 13:l4
But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
JEREMIAH  8:22 
Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
 MATTHEW 9:12
But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
