LIFE LESSON FOR TODAY, 5/7/14

-








I heard a sermon on Sunday discussing how 
we should be a blessing to others. The Lord
blesses us so, we  should  bless  others.The
Bible even tells the rich how to bless others.  

It is easy to become self-centered when you
are jobless due to your company lay off.  I 
know a person with Lupus and she is in pain 
daily.  Financial  problems  and experiencing
constant physical and  emotional pain  may 
cause a person to only dwell on their needs.


During Bible  times,  the  scriptures mentions
two classes of people. The rich with abundant  
land and cattle. The poor who worked the land
and had limited resources. The Lord's message
to His people was, love one another regardless
of your circumstances.

This week I'll share scriptures which I am 
studying to help me  learn to be a blessing 
to others. 
 

 Today's Scriptures:





2 CORINTHIANS  1:3-4



Comfort in Suffering



3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
 

4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which  we  ourselves are comforted 
by God.

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 ...

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 ...

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 u...
