Reading through Bible in a year, Week 12

March 19-25

Num. 28:16-Deut. 4:49; Luke 3:23- 7:10; Ps. 62:1-68:18; Pr. 11:18-28

Deuteronomy 6:4-5 calls us to worship God and love Him with our heart, soul, and might. (Deut. 4:24 implies that since God is Jealous for us and a "consuming fire.")

So how can we do that?

How about being Christocentric, in other words, "live as if Christ died yesterday, rose today, and is coming back tomorrow"?  Cf. 1 Thess. 4:15, live as if the Rapture is occurring later today!  

The Luke reading contains a miniature version of the Sermon on the Mount in Matt. 5-7.  Unique is the verse commanding us to "Give, running over . . ." in Luke 6:38.

Ps. 64 is interesting, "Boomerang Slang," a lament psalm.

Proverbs 11:18   "If You Wanna Be Happy," by Jimmy Soul, "get an ugly woman to marry you . . ."

Notes: The verse I quote from Jeremiah is Jer. 31:29-30

I quote Num. 16:49, "But those who died by the plague were 14,700, besides those who died on account of Korah."  Those were all people.

When I quote Num. 2:32 that the total of Jews were 603,550, that was only mean.  It doesn't include the women and children so there could have been between 2 and 3 million total Jews.
