SCRIPTURAL READING THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“And it came to pass, that, AS THE PEOPLE PRESSED UPON HIM TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the FISHERMEN were gone out of them, and were WASHING THEIR NETS. 3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and PRAYED him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, and have taken nothing: NEVERTHELESS AT THY WORD I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a GREAT MULTITUDE of fishes: and their net brake. 7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10 and so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 11 And when they had brought their ships to land, THEY FORSOOK ALL, and FOLLOWED him” Luke 5:1-11.
“David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him. 2 AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS IN DISTRESS, AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS IN DEBT, AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS DISCONTENTED, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a CAPTAIN over them: and there were with him about FOUR HUNDRED MEN. 3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me. 4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold. 5 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth” 1 Samuel 22:1-5.
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath ANOINTED me to PREACH good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to BIND UP the brokenhearted, to PROCLAIM LIBERTY to the captives, and the OPENING OF THE PRISON to them that are bound; 2 to PROCLAIM the acceptable year of the Lord, and the DAY OF VENGEANCE of our God; to COMFORT all that mourn; 3 to APPOINT unto them that MOURN in Zion, to GIVE unto them BEAUTY for ASHES, the OIL OF JOY for mourning, the GARMENT OF PRAISE for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be CALLED trees of righteousness, the PLANTING of the Lord, that he might be GLORIFIED” Isaiah 61:1-3 (Luke 4:16-22).
“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38).
“These be THE WORDS which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 2 (There are ELEVEN DAYS’ JOURNEY from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.) 3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, IN THE ELEVENTH MONTH, ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them; 4 after he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: 5 on this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 6 The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, YE HAVE DWELT LONG ENOUGH IN THIS MOUNT: 7 TURN YOU, and TAKE YOUR JOURNEY, and GO TO THE MOUNT of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND WHICH THE LORD SWARE UNTO YOUR FATHERS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, TO GIVE UNTO THEM AND TO THEIR SEED AFTER THEM” Deuteronomy 1:1-8.
