Mark 3:10 . . . that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch Him. [the phrase, 'pushing froward to touch Him", can be translated: to fall upon, come eagerly to, to embrace (like the father ran to embrace his prodigal son in Luke 15:20), threw himself on, threw his arms around him, (also conveys a context of being gripped with fear or in awe of)]
Mark 3:21 . . . they (Jesus’ family) went to take charge of Him for they said, ”He is out of His mind.”. [The phrase 'went to take charge of Him" can mean: to arrest, take into custody, seize, hold back, not forgive]
Both those with disease and Jesus’ family wanted to take hold of Him but with very different motivations. One group wanted to receive His help and healing and the other group wanted to control Him because He wasn’t doing want they wanted Him to do and they didn’t understand that what He was doing was good for them.
I want to embrace what God is doing in my life and with the people I’m close to even when it’s not at all what I want and I don’t understand it. I trust that He is acting out of love for me and I am in awe of Him. -

I hate sin. I hate it! We watched the movie Iron Man last night and I hate that I viewed immorality right in my own house. I hate that all the 10 year old boys, who will think that Iron Man is the coolest thing ever, will watch God’s beautiful gift of sex being degraded as they also become defiled. Is it any wonder that there is no difference between the failures of believers and unbelievers in the area of purity. I hate our sensual culture and the sensual entertainment to which we continually subject ourselves. I want to be more careful to lead a blameless life and set no vile thing before my eyes.
I wish we could return to the days of ”Leave It to Beaver” and ”Father Knows Best” when the family could sit around and watch a show that was innocent!!

God is constantly standing at our side to defend us from the attacks of the Accuser. May we learn to discern (and believe!) His calm and reassuring voice above the lies.

Not all seeds that are sown take root, grow and bear fruit. As we are in God’s Word, we are showered with seeds of light (wisdom, direction, answers) and joy (gladness, happiness, enjoyment). I pray our hearts are good soil and yield 100x what was sown.
Yea!! A post on Biblefox! This is a good thought. Sometimes, I feel that there is much of God’s word that I have read and that I can’t grasp it all. I can ’t remember to apply it. For the amount of times that I have read the Bible, I should have it down by now!!

Rest, Liz. Just rest for now:) I’m confident God will reveal His next step for you in His good timing. “In Your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed.” (Exodus 15:13)
Can’t wait to see y’all!! -

Such unspeakable evil! I have to find refuge in the sovereignty of God. “The Lord works out everything for His own ends – even the wicked for a day of disaster.” (Prov. 16:4) I think of my favorite line in the LOTR movies, “‘What can we do in the face of overwhelming evil?’ We ride [...]
