Matthew 10:24-33 ~ Do not be afraid

 












Matthew 10:24-33


"A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for the student to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebub, how much more the members of his household!

26 "So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

32 "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.



We want to protect our little flock. Give them every advantage.



We don't want dark or scary things to happen.

Jesus gave us the seed parable. 
He expected talents, seeds to germinate and bear fruit. He expected Life to test us. The Lord's Prayer tells us.

Job 23:8-10

If I go east, He is not there, and if I go west, I cannot perceive Him. 
9 When He is at work to the north, I cannot see Him; when He turns south,
 I cannot find Him. 

10 Yet He knows the way I have taken; when He has tested me, 
I will emerge as pure gold.


James 1
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trial, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”


1 Thessalonians 2:4
Just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, 
so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.


Therefore - Life is a test of our basic - soul.


And...
The next part is up to us. What do we expect of God? What we would rely upon Him for.

Jesus tells us God is our Father. 
Jesus tells Mary Magdalene on Easter, "Your Father and Mine." He adopts John on the way to the Cross and His first conversation upon Victory over Death is the adoption of Mary Magdalene.

What do we expect from our Father?

Do we truly believe ~ 'He has so many Children. He can't notice me.' How is the Universe you "Created"? Does God have limits? God - your Father - called you by name - He planned your days.

Where are you headed?

Jeremiah 1:5a
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you...

Romans 12
be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect

Acts 2
you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.




Mark 16:15
And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel 
to the whole 
creation."

This is daunting. God told us more about that.

3. Cooks, moms, food workers (1 Samuel 9:23-24)

God is using people in their lives. 
The lives He gave us. Using conversations. God is having us develop relationships.

Surely, God gives us lives, talents, people. God changes people, events, timing - for His Plan.


Continue to develop your talent. Your voice. Your way to be in hearts for His Good. 
God helps us be doing His Plan, He is not the abandoning God.  Gently Pray and care for people. Even the people you briefly meet.  If you are being confided in, and the time is right, pray for people, gently. God in His Willingness of being a Good Father will assist!


Hebrews 13
Now the God of peace, 
Who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep 
through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord

Equip you in every good thing to do His will, 
working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, 
Through Jesus Christ, 
To whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.




God does His promises. In His timing. Jesus loved the Word, "Immediately."
God says Life is in the Blood. When God of All things brings up Blood, His opinion
is saying this is serious and this is Love. Love is Life.


Luke 12:32
“Fear not, little flock, 
for it is your Father's good pleasure 
to give 
you the Kingdom."


Matthew 23:37
How often have I longed to
gather your children together,
as a hen gathers her chicks 
under her wings.



Matthew 25:40 
 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, 
as you did it to one of the least 
of these my brothers, 
you did it to Me.’




Abba, Father God,

Help us to seek and find You First.
We will have the eyes of our hearts opened
and hear more of Heaven.

With Jesus, we will see today what is true, whatever is noble,
right, pure, lovely, admirable, and find what is
excellent and praiseworthy
and here we find
Your Mercies Renew
and this is where we renew our minds
refresh our Will in Jesus Christ
and renew again in Your Willingness.


Just as we have been approved by God 
to be entrusted with the Gospel, 
so we speak, 
not to please man, 
but to please God who tests our hearts.

Live in me,
Live in All of us
Jesus Christ Savior of Your Father's good creation.
Son of Father God
begotten not made
Light of Light
True God of True God
Light of the world
Light of mankind.

Bless and fill those I love
and we will be in Recovery
and dwell in Love, faith and hope.

For all those I know
and all those who are part of our wide circle
growing closer
to Jesus Christ
we pray Your Good Will and Willing
Blessings.

For our Republic
and our Freedoms
so hard fought and hard won.
May God Himself Bless us.

Please bless especially Elliott and his family
and Janet and her family for Healing
Jesus Heals us All.


Amen for all of us
in the Highest N
ame of Jesus Christ. Amen.

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

A simple blog, scripture-for-today.blogspot

This blog is pretty simple, but for a reason. This blog isn't about agenda or me, it is for the joy and love to found by reading the Scriptures. Ultimately, it is you and the Lord.

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
