Observations from reading the Bible. Not in depth study points, but scriptures that spoke to me especially, while reading.
Psalm 117 -Praise the Lord, all you nations! Praise him, all you people of the world! His mercy toward us is powerful. The Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. There was an awesome choir that sang this son. But I can’t find the version. The only thing with this one, I definitely remember how it went. Psalm …
1 Samuel 1:5 – He would also give one portion to Hannah because he loved her, even though the Lord had kept her from having children. The Lord kept her. I was honestly thinking of Yahweh preventing her from having children for a reason, but as I wrote, “The Lord kept her,” the other meaning came to …
1 Samuel 19:23 – As he went toward the pastures at Ramah, God’s Spirit came over him too. He continued his journey, prophesying until he came to the pastures at Ramah. Even though Yahweh had rejected Saul, when he came into the realm of Samuel and David, he prophesied. The Spirit of Yahweh came over …
How far should our loyalty go? Even if someone is anointed by Yahweh and we know that they are anointed, but they gave instructions that we know are morally wrong, should we still do it out of loyalty and their anointing? 2 Samuel 11:15 – In the letter he wrote, “Put Uriah on the front …
2 Samuel 22:18 – He rescued me from my strong enemy and from those who hated me, because they were too strong for me. This says a lot. So often we’re afraid to admit that someone is too strong for us so we set our faces and bear up. But Yahweh can fight for us …
1 Kings 1:2 – His officials told him, “Your Majesty, let us search for a young woman who has never been married. She can stay with you and be your servant. She can lie in your arms and keep you warm.” Straight face. So none of his million concubines could lie next to him? Why …
1 Kings 14:13 – All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one of Jeroboam’s family who will be properly buried. He was the only one in Jeroboam’s house in whom the Lord God of Israel found anything good. Wow. No one else was found good. And because Yahweh found …
1 Kings 18:35 – The water flowed around the altar, and even the trench was filled with water. So this is my totally unspiritual question. Where did they get the water from? They were in a drought! And on top of a hill. Did they talk up and down the hill how many times to …
Psalm 142:2 – I pour out my complaints in his presence and tell him my troubles. I think complaining has a bad rep. I blame the Israelites for that. All the murmuring and complaining. I think what makes one acceptable to Yahweh and the other not is the spirit in which it is done, “But …
Ezra 1:1 – The promise the Lord had spoken through Jeremiah was about to come true in Cyrus’ first year as king of Persia. The Lord inspired the king to make this announcement throughout his whole kingdom and then to put it in writing. So I’m a bit curious as to why books in the Bible were arranged …
