LIFE LESSON FOR TODAY, 7/28/14

-





One thing I have learned from reading my Bible
is, evil has always existed.I have read about evil people from Genesis to Revelation.

This week I'll share scriptures that discuss evil behavior.  There will also be scriptures showing
the demise of evildoers in the Bible.


HERE ARE A FEW SCRIPTURES ABOUT EVIL:


LIFE LESSON:

THE LORD WARNS ADAM & EVE, DO NOT
EAT FROM THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE
OF GOOD AND EVIL.

GENESIS  2:16-17 

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;  
17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it 
you shall surely die.”




LIFE LESSON:

DAVID REALIZES THAT GOD DOESN'T LIKE
WICKEDNESS OR EVIL.

Psalm 5:4

For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You.


LIFE LESSON:

JEREMIAH ASKED THE LORD WHY DO  EVIL PEOPLE  PROSPER?

JEREMIAH 12: 1

 
1 Righteous are You, O Lord, when I plead with You;
Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments.
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?


  
LIFE LESSON

THE LORD ANSWERS JEREMIAH'S QUESTION.

 JEREMIAH 12: 6, 14-15
6 For even your brothers, the house of your father,
Even they have dealt treacherously with you;
Yes, they have called a multitude after you.
Do not believe them, Even though they speak smooth 
words to you.

 
14 Thus says the Lord: “Against all My evil neighbors who touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit—behold, I will pluck them out of their land and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.  
15 Then it shall be, after I have plucked them out, that I will return and have compassion on them and bring them back, everyone to his heritage and everyone to his land.

LIFE LESSON

 DO NOT SPEAK EVIL/CORRUPT WORDS. 

Ephesians 4:29

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. 

LIFE LESSON:

ANYONE WHO DOES EVIL TO THE ANY
RACE WILL BE PUNISHED.   ANYONE 
WHO DOES GOOD WORKS FOR ANY
RACE WILL BE BLESSED. 
 

ROMANS  2:9-11 

9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek;  
10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God.

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.

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
