Verse 6- But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes ad takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood. Uh oh, hence why I speak. I am usually a really quiet busy person. I hate talking in a crowd and I do not want anyone's attention. I like helping, but I am not one that does well with being in the spotlight. I am a dope.

Verse 14- At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be equality. This is very beautiful, and I can see it with the music I am listening to. It is very important to be in fellowship with God, so we can give ourselves to others in need. Some do this and some do that, but they both love Jesus and each can help the other. One may be bolder and one may be more caring and see details. Once, a

Verse 2- Son of man, take up a lament concerning Pharoah king of Egypt and say to him: "'You are like a lion among the nations; you are like a monster in the seas thrashing about in your streams, churning the water with your feet and muddying the streams God likes His people being in clear waters. He will not stand for others mudding the stream and taking His glory. He says "YOUR" twice here, when we all should know by now, everything is God's. He calls Pharoah "YOU" because

Verse 9: Yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. Sure, I can make you sad, but I pray it is beneficial. The Bible does that to us. It is good for us. It is transforming.

Verse 9- I made it beautiful with abundant branches, the envy of all the trees in Eden in the garden of God. I understand fully that God lifts one up and brings another down. I'd much rather be down and a nobody to be frank. It is when I am a nobody and see who is around me, which is no one a few, and God, that I am learning that I need to be ready for my one shot. My shot is to glorify God and still be a nobody and serve and not be served. I think this is what God wants me t

Verse 24- I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put my sword in his hand, but I will break the arms of Pharoah, and he will groan before him like mortally wounded man. All I know is it isn't wise to not listen to God and be on His team.

Verse 12 We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are withholding yours from us. Paul was not hiding anything; he was being honest and open. He was not using anyone or getting anything out of being there. He was being sincere and a helper. He was helping them to live correctly for their benefit in their walk with the Lord.

Verse 15- It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above other nations. I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over the nations. I don't understand much, but God wasn't happy with Egypt. Egypt is a type of the world. The nation of Israel went to them for help and they were unreliable and didn't keep promises. This means that Israel was in bondage and in sin having ties with them. They were not supposed to depend on them. They were t

Verse 21- God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Jesus took the punishment that we deserve. That is, he took the separation from God. We won't ever have to experience that in eternity. It isn't fire to worry about, it is complete darkness away from our LOVE, OUR CREATOR, OUR FATHER. You know that scary feeling that creeps up every now and then? That feeling of regret and imagine if it will never go away? That WHA

Verse 26- They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety when I inflict punishment on all their neighbors who maligned them. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God. Don't be a thorn to others. Don't fight against Him either. Jesus took the prick, so we do not have to. There WILL NOT be peace in this world until AFTER JESUS COMES AGAIN. You are wasting your money trying to buy peace. Peace is free, Peace is Jesus. H

Verse 16- Therefore, we do no lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. Yes, I feel it outwardly. My body aches for whatever reason, I do not know what I did to it this time. I was busy when it happened, I am sure of that! I wasn't sitting around doin' nuthin. I do also feel renewed each morning. There is no reason to be in a ball with a white flag. Sure, I put the white flag up, but Jesus plants a new flag in place of the

Verse 3- Say to Tyre, situated at the gateway at the sea, merchant of peoples on many coasts, " This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "You say O Tyre, "I am perfect in beauty." I am not very perfect at all. Jesus is. If anyone sees a pinch of anything good it is Jesus they are seeing, not me. I am an idiot. I am just a dummy and a tool. I'm pretty useless until I am aligned with God. I hope I can be a blessing to everyone around. I take my time each day to start it off gettin

I will put an end to your noisy songs, and the music of your harps will be heard no more. -Verse 13 Tyre got in trouble especially because they said AHA about Jerusalem's walls being broken down. We do not do that. We don't laugh and mock people ever. You know how much we all love music. Well one day it will stop. All there will be left is pain to endure because of rejecting Christ. Until Christ returns the second time after the judgments happen. He will make all things new a

But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. -Verse 14 Only when we accept that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose (accepting Jesus as Savior alone and LORD of our lives) then we can be empowered to get out of bondage of sin. If we had accepted Him, but chose to live on the mountain of curses, then we are going to have to climb all the way up and go say sorry and ask for forgiveness and repent of that sin. Then we can start over and be on the mo

Verse 17 I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I take vengeance on them. It is never good to say AHA. It is good to pray for our enemies. They are in bondage to sin. They need freed, they need chastened and corrected. They need the Good News shared with them. They do not need a debate, nor do they need us to fight them. They need to be alone with God, so He can do what He needs to, to wake them up. T

verses 14-16 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? We only know because we are saved by Jesus dying on the cross for us, being buried, and rising. We then continu

This is not a celebration. This is not and was not a day to look forward to with your children. This will be a day of refining of some, taking the final impurities away of stubborn people. Yet, there will be some still stuck in doubt about Jesus dying for their sins, being buried, and rising / The Good News. At the time the nation of Isreal still did not stop fornicating spiritually; they were warned and would not listen when help came. It was not time for God to act. He was

And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. Verse-7 Just like Job, sure he was a sinner too, there are times we live to please God and yet still we must take part in Christ's suffering until the last person is saved by the Good News that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose. I have been there for quite a while now. Sure people may look at me and say it was because of sin, but I know the Bib

verses 13-14 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love. My Bible note that I wrote from a previous study in this Book says "man up" next to courage and strong. Don't get so offended. It is good to trust in the Lord with all of hearts. That is heaven's language. Get used to it if you plan to go there too.

verse 27- So I will stop to the lewdness and prostitution you began in Egypt. You will not look on these things with longing or remember Egypt anymore. This is one of those chapter that you most likely will not hear in a flowery devotional. It is about spiritual adultery. It is very common with us if we are not in the Word and fighting the giants within us, praying, and repenting (before we help others or do anything with our talent and gifts). It is a daily thing. If we get
