Matthew 8 (Part 2)

Matthew 8:26

²⁶ He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

I feel as if it was speaking to each and every one of us personally (well to me anyways). Asking us "Why are you so afraid?" and yet telling us "Do not worry, I am in control" and it brings much needed relief to a busy and worry-filled life.

Matthew 8 (Part 1)

Once again, I decided to split up a chapter because it (slightly) exceeded 30 verses.

Matthew 8:7-8

⁷ Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?” ⁸ The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

To have faith such as this would be amazing.. to trust Him make anything happen with just a word, no physical presence required.

Matthew 7

Matthew 7:24-25

²⁴ “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵ The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

A reminder that we should root our foundations in Christ (instead of worldly things).

Matthew 6 (Part 2)

Matthew 6:26-27

²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

A constant reminder that worrying about our life produces no fruits, rather, rely on God because He knows what we need and He will provide.

Matthew 5

Sunday school lessons!!!
This chapter is quite condensed...
so i will separate it as it is in the Bible.

I just wanted to sneak in this verse above!!!
I just really love it.
Even when i hate myself to death
God still loves me
i think i will never understand this.

Matthew 4

verse 2:

"And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry."

Jesus is a human being after all...
But even when he was faced with Satan...being hungry and tired and all
He still "fought" back
(im not sure if "fighthing" is the appropriate word here)
I know that when i am hungry and especially tired...
I get really grouchy and mean and i can really become a b...
imagine me hungry and tired
and then satan temps me...
i think the result will be very ugly...

Matthew 3

verse 11:

"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."

sandals....hahaha!
