THE HEAT OF THE DAY!

-





I love to sit on my porch, read 
scriptures, and look at the birds
before the heat of the day arrives.
The heat of the day can be soothing
in the spring and fall.  The intense 
heat of the day during the summer 
is nourishing for my garden plants. 
It is unhealthy for me to be in the 
heat of the day when the mercury
reads 90 degrees! I have learned 
to balance my activities with the
heat of the day.

The people in the Bible also understood
about the heat. The scriptures below 
show how it relates their daily lives. 

 




LIFE LESSON:







THE HEAT OF THE DAY


GENESIS  8:22

As long as the earth endures,
seed time and harvest, cold 
and heat, summer and winter, 
day and night will never cease.


GENESIS 18:1

The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day.


GENESIS  31:40

This was my situation: The heat consumed me in the daytime and the cold at night, and sleep fled from my eyes

2 SAMUEL  4:5

Now Rekab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out for
the house of Ish-Bosheth, and they 
arrived there in the heat of the day
while he was taking his noonday rest.

JOB 24:19

As heat and drought snatch away the melted snow, so the grave snatches 
away those who have sinned.

PSALM  32:4

For day and night  your hand was heavy 
on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.

ISAIAH  4:6

It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.

JEREMIAH  17:8

They will be like a tree planted by
the water that sends out its roots 
by the stream. It does not fear 
when heat comes; its leaves are 
always green. It has no worries in 
a year of drought and never fails 
to bear fruit.”

MATTHEW  20:12

‘These who were hired last worked 
only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you
have made them equal to us who 
have borne the burden of the work
and the heat of the day.’


LIFE LESSON:


 THE HEAT OF EMOTIONS







2 KINGS  23:26

Nevertheless, the Lord did not turn 
away from the heat of his fierce anger, which burned against Judah because of 
all that Manasseh had done to arouse his anger.

ISAIAH  21:15

They flee from the sword, from the 
drawn sword, from the bent bow and
from the heat of battle.

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

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)
