LIFE LESSON FOR TODAY, 7/10/14

DEPICTION OF ISRAELITES GATHERING MANNA FROM HEAVEN







This week I'll share scriptures in the Old Testament that described some of the Miracles performed by God. 
Moses was appointed by God to take the Israelites
to the Promised Land  flowing with milk and honey. 
A lot of miracles were performed during their travels. On 7/9/14 I looked at the miracle of the burning bush and miracles God performed on Moses.  Today,  I will reveal more miracles that happened concerningMoses and the Israelites. 

LIFE LESSON:

 GOD'S MIRACLE:  BREAD FROM HEAVEN FOR THE ISRAELITES.
EXODUS 16: 11-13, 15-16, 31

11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 
12   “I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘At twilight you shall
eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread. And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’”
13 So it was that quails came up at evening and covered the camp, and in the morning the dew
lay all around the camp.

 15 So when the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was.
And Moses said to them, “This is the bread which the Lord has given you to eat.
16   This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: ‘Let every man gather it according to each one’s need, one omer for each person, according to the number of persons;   let every man take for those who are in his tent.’”

31 And the house of Israel called its name Manna.  And it was like white coriander seed, and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.


LIFE LESSON:

 GOD'S MIRACLE: STAFF TURNS INTO A SNAKE

EXODUS  4:3

3 The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”
Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it.


 EXODUS 7: 8-13
8 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 
9 “When Pharaoh says to you, ‘Perform a miracle,’
then say to Aaron,  ‘Take your staff and throw it
down before Pharaoh,’ and it will become a snake.”
10 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the Lord commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake.  
11 Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts: 
12 Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. 
 13 Yet Pharaoh’s heart became hard and he would 
not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.

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
