Why was Jesus so good to women and God of the Old Testament was not?
Numbers 27:1-11
1 Then drew near the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, from the clans of Manasseh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2 And they stood before Moses and before Eleazar the priest and before the chiefs and all the congregation, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying, 3 "Our father died in the wilderness. He was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but died for his own sin. And he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his clan because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father's brothers." 5 Moses brought their case before the LORD. 6 And the LORD said to Moses, 7 "The daughters of Zelophehad are right. You shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father's brothers and transfer the inheritance of their father to them. 8 And you shall speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter. 9 And if he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 And if he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father's brothers. 11 And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the nearest kinsman of his clan, and he shall possess it. And it shall be for the people of Israel a statute and rule, as the LORD commanded Moses.'"
And on the same page, Moses was the workman God called Home and then Joshua was to inherit.
God gave great billing to women with Moses in Living Word of God.
This passage also applies to Mary, Mother of God. She was the parent Jesus had during His Ministry. Mary is the one Person who has rushed in to save God. Momentous.
One of the aspects of Jesus I find so beautiful. The Holy Family. Jesus has chosen Mary and Joseph. Time spent in Egypt. Jerusalem was too dangerous. Back to small Nazareth. Nazareth reports peace twice in the Gospels. The Siblings goad Jesus about showing Himself in Jerusalem. Later go with Mary to try to get Jesus home. We find in Acts 1, Mary and the Siblings have reunited. Jesus has the Victory.
Jesus allows, just like the Prodigal Son - the process of 1 Corinthians 13 - Love believes.
God has been for His People. God has supported women. Jesus has supported a very human family. We can all expect this - Thank God - for His Mercy. And His expectation of goodness. And in His expectation of Goodness - we find a path in God for each day.
How many times each day we process this:
I will fuss.
I will forgive - I understand.
I'm full - this goes in the rebuke category.
I'm compassion - I understand
I'm about change - I will rebuke.
I'm about honesty - I will communicate.
I'm diligent - I will change this in time.
I'm an adult - I will cope around this.
I'm in gratitude - for the goodness God gives me.
I'm surrounded by Love - I see blessings.
And then we get to where we process our emotions. We bolster. We accept. We prevail. We struggle. We access.
With God's Help - we ascend. We have the fight within us to go forward with Joy.
We ascend - to hope again. Finding the Grace of God carries us.
Today was a difficult day at Doctor's offices for Social Security Disability for Edward. It's difficult to strip down to the need of help when daily we work to ascend and cope. Letting all the emotions pop us and examine. To work the duties of today. Seeing the Grace of God cover and sustain, seeing His hope given. Dealing with interacting with people in a more normal time.
When we realize God is for us. We have the ability to trust God and His Grace.
Abba, Thank You. We will live the adventure all things work together for Good. In Jesus. For His Beloved. We thank You. Amen.
I might have grown up without a microwave, but my my DVD beats your DVD in size.
1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it.
So creating Heaven inside your eternity - available to you instantly - within your soul.
What do you do when you preach peace and the music stops? It's life - if you preach peace - you are going to find unpeace. Realize the wild waves of Life are told to us by Jesus walking over them and instantly in John 6.
John 6:21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
Right - it is in healing we are healed.
Peace. Finding peace on the days you are the one sitting in the chair, with crutches, raking the leaves. Jesus said His yoke is easy. Jesus is doing the hard work. Every day. Jesus is working.
What comes out of us defiles us. Good News. We get to be the ones who stop, reassess and put forth a new try. Brand new slate. A do over. We called these mornings - Anderson Do Overs.
Amazing what we can bring to life. We add to the way, truth, Life. We take away. It's a Wonderful Life. God tells us the work of mankind is to believe the one Whom He has sent. God tells us Life is what God is working. And Jesus too.
Jesus tells us His yoke is easy. Jesus tells us from His view - where HE sees all of us. He wants to save the world. We get to be the Light of Christ.
Jesus has witnessed to His own life. Telling us the Ongoing Story of Millenniums. Of Human failures. Of real people. Real flaws. And gives us REDEMPTION.
The next time someone tells you they really don't like the Old Testament God - realize this. Our Father God was interested in saving slaves. Our Father God gave a garden and way when the way fell. Our Father raised the dead. Our Father sends horses for His Workmen. Our Father fed the widow and her son. Our Father abhorred child and human sacrifice and moved His Beloved away from these wretched things. Our God abhors death for prosperity. Our God comforts the child of the slave and will bless even a wild ass. Our God goes to the slave who is abused. Our God has massive plans for goodness.
Out God invites us for Eternity.
Our God explains that forgiveness is a process in the Prodigal Son.
Our Father would run to us.
Our God speaks within our soul - Today.
Abba,
We lift up the 258 still missing in the Napa County fires. The area is bigger than Chicago. We pray Jesus to cease the wind and fire. And help the thousands without homes to be comforted and held by You. Father, in Your willing mercy take care of these people. Amen.
Abba, Abba, Abba! You have said. It is good. It is good. It is good. It is good. It is good. It is good. It is good. It is good. It is good. It is good. We thank you for the people You have given us. Our Loved Ones. Both sets. We thank You, You are still working and Your View of us is so GOOD. Thank You for today. We will work together, I look for You to immediately stretch out Your Hand. And Rejoice. Amen and Alleluia in Jesus. Amen.
1 Oh sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD,
all the earth!
2 Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised
One of the greatest purposes of Loving Father God is to find ~ Joy.
We know about putting on a pleasant expression leads to an inner joy.
We are told in the Bible, singing to God makes a happy heart. Hearing all the generations belting out "How Great that Art" in hyper loud Joy - is to participate in re-singing all week. Finding the Joy and Strength and Verve of singing this inside all week.
His Mercies Renew and Renew and Renew.
Houston has KSBJ - God Listens - Christian Radio. God bless the radio we have here. Let me tell you. God gives us a song for our heart. And a timely song that can increase joy, hold on to hope. strengthen resolve. We find a firm foundation in the Love Father God provides here. Marvelous.
One week I had a serious health issue in 2003 and one song kept playing inside me "My Jesus Who Loves me" and all week I could have hope. All was well.
Music inside of us - is a Gift of God.
Love

JESUS IS SO GOOD
Abba,
You have gifted us all in many ways.
Radio. Old Hymns. New Hymns.
Good and Bountiful Blessings.
White knuckle times needing Your Help.
Days when songs singing "I need a Miracle" happens.
We all need a Miracle.
12 Open Gates of Heaven. WE have the gift of Jesus, Who gives us access to Father God Almighty.
Does Van Gogh mind when I do 3D tilt images and photoshop? We will have to ask. Someday.
John 3:8
"The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."
God Buries His Workmen, but carries on His Work. Charles Wesley. Now he had a friend with an amazing parish.
John Wesley said, "I look upon all the World as my Parish."
I bet John Wesley knew the heart of God to all of creation. Let all of creation sing with me now.
Yesterday at The Woodland's United Methodist Harvest, we were encouraged never to let the opportunity for giving Hope pass you by.
Let's say that again:
We were encouraged never to let the opportunity for giving Hope pass you by
We were encouraged never to let the opportunity for giving Hope pass you by
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty!!!
And I was completely astonished to find the guest singer (Mike Romero) sang so very sincerely and touchingly - he was the twin of Father Jerry Hill from Dallas who ran the largest homeless shelter in Dallas called Austin Street Shelter for decades and decades. The enthusiasm - the love - the very look was the same. A PROFOUND Blessing to me, coming back from my teenage years.
Live Long Enough and your blessings - float back to you.
Cast Your Bread upon the waters, after many days, this will return to you. Ecclesiastes 11:1
And that reminded me of a sermon from Bishop Chuck Murphy, III of Pawleys Island, S.C. From 2001.
Chuck Murphy was an attorney in Charleston. His newlywed wife asked him to volunteer with her to do a stint in Nursery Sunday School. He declined soundly. His wife asked him with joy if he ever wanted to have children because this would be a good time to visit little children. He decided immediately to volunteer with her. As he shaved and dressed that morning he decided he would shop the children to put in an order with the Lord. (Not a bad plan really. God is our font of every blessing. Sing. Get overcome.)
And he picked one out. Allen. Because with this kindergarten child - "There was a 'Brightness'.' As they got home, Chuck decided He Really Liked Allen - age 5. He told his wife they could do that again. In fact, in a month the Church rang back and asked them to take on the first grade Sunday School. Chuck said he would if they got Allen. And so this went for 12 years. Allen and Chuck did Sunday School and Jr High Youth Group. And Sr High Youth Group.. Allen went on to college - Chuck had his law practice. They bumped into one another. Rejoicing.
One day, Chuck decided he'd had enough of law practice in his late 40's and went to Suwanee for Theology. Everyone was in their 20s. Bummer. Bummer. Great Big Bummer. And one of the students had a "Brightness"!!! They graduated together. The two men who had done 12 years of Youth Group and Sunday School.
And their careers took them across the vast Continent of the United States. And unknowingly, they changed denominations. Time went on. Allen Hughes became a first rate Pastor, became a father, three then four times. Chuck became a Bishop.
And one day the "Brightness" connected the Bishop and the Pastor to be working together across the Continent. And then they worked in the same SC Church another decade later.
Chuck Murphy said to live the adventure of life is to find God repeats our blessings like a beautiful rug. Look forward with hope. The best is yet to be.
Amazing what Philippians 2 does. Setting the Love of God on Fire!!!
This is why God gave His Commandment to Love.
John the Baptist is compared to Elijah. And they were seen as separate.
The Waters parted for Joshua - just as they did for Moses.
Elijah and Elisha found God alone could raise the dead.
The Bible is alive. Active. Responding to Your Life. Your Soul. Your Heart.
This is why the Bible Repeats. And comes into Your Life. To warm and stir your soul just as Jesus did for His beloved friends on the road to Emmaus.
I have had two amazing widowed women as my grandmothers. They were part of my life daily. And my thoughts. Daily. And I was provided with a neighbor who was about 15 years younger than my grandmothers as my first newlywed neighbor. Teaching me that at 80 years old - pecans are harvested and sold for Christmas money. Seeing fresh paint applied continually. Walking the dog. Teaching me what Chess Pie is. Making my new to the neighborhood gift a Cherry Pie. Well, ok, it is pie.
What was given to you? What has God provided to you - that you KNOW was a gift of God. To you. His beloved. His Child. You are the one He loves. What has HE given you? Pass this along. Be the repeat. Be the blessing. Become you as the blessing.
It is in healing - we are healed.
Abba, We welcome Jesus to pray with us. Who strengthened Peter to walk with Him in amazing ways. Let the Holy Spirit increase in us and around us to step forward in astonishing memories and hope in the days to come. You give us the opportunity to be the Blessing. The Word of God exists to create Love. Thank You.
The Best of All is, God is with us.
The Best of All is, God is within us.
The Best of All is, God is within His God Creation. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.
Our father God says this is Good. We are part of His Creation. We Bless the Lord God for His Love.
How Great Thou Art.
How Great Thou Art.
How Great Thou Art.
Help us to walk with You Jesus. Agape for all of our loved ones.
Amen for the Love of God in us, around us, through us, My Savior God to THEE. Amen.

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. <><
