Hebrews 13:15-25 Luke 8:19-25
☀️ A.M. Hebrews 13:15-25
15 - Through him then - let us at all times, in all seasons, offer up a *sacrifice of praise*. (A note for prophecy, esp. Dn.12:11)
A sacrifice of praise to God! The fruit of lips that speak [homologeó - speak the same, agree upon] the name [onoma - name, authority, cause] of him.
16 Don’t neglect to do good {including attitude? begins with attitude?} and to share what you have. For such sacrifices are pleasing to God. 17 Listen to your leaders, following their lead, for they watch over your souls [psyxḗ - from psyxō - breath, wind, blow which is the root of the English words psyche, psychology, soul, psyche, a person's distinct identity, unique personhood, i.e. individual personality] as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for of what advantage is that? {Teachers will give account.}
18 Pray for us! For a good conscience, wanting always to conduct ourselves well toward all. 19 And pray too that I be restored to you the sooner!
20 Now may the God of peace - who raised out of death our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep - by the very blood of the enduring covenant, 21 equip you with all that’s necessary, for you to do his will.
HE - is working in us - that which is pleasing in his sight. Through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever, amen! 22 I encourage you, to bear with my words of encouragement [paraklésis - a calling to one's aid, i.e. encouragement, comfort] which is why I’ve written to you briefly. {Lol.} 23 You know our brother Timothy has been released! And so, with him I too shall see you, if he comes soon. 24 Greet all your elders and all the saints [hagios - holy, sacred, set apart] {believers}. And those who are in Italy send you their greetings. 25 Grace be with you all!
🌙 P.M. LUKE 8:19-25
19 - Jesus’ mother and brothers came looking for him, but couldn’t get to him because of the crowd. 20 So some there told Jesus, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.” 21 But he answered, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 Then on yet another day he got into a boat with his disciples, and said, “Let’s go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, 23 and as they were sailing he fell asleep. But a windstorm soon bore down upon them, the boat was filling with water. And they were in danger. 24 So they woke him, saying, “Master! We’re perishing!” And then he rebuked the wind and the pounding waves. And all was calm.
25 He said to them, “Where is your faith!?” And they wondered with awe and marveled! Saying to one another, “Who is this? That he even commands the wind and the sea, and they obey him!”
