...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Holy Scriptures have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases.

Offerings Without the Beg and Plead

And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, and Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.-Luke 8:1-3***Many of the women identified throughout the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible are described as being diligent workers and good stewards. Rebekah willingly served water to a stranger and his camels before she became the wife of Isaac and daughter-in-law of Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai). Rachel herded her father Laban's sheep before she became the 2nd wife of Isaac and Rebekah's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). Before Zipporah became the wife of Moses, she worked with her sisters drawing water for their father's sheep. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, months after Moses and his older brother Aaron led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, numerous Israelite women spun the animal hair needed for the transportable tabernacle that was to be made according to the commands of the Lord. In Canaan, the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants, Deborah was a prophetess, wife and judge. Ruth, a widow, began working in the fields to provide for herself and her mother-in-law Naomi. Soon thereafter, Ruth married Naomi's relative Boaz. Abigail used her intelligence, household goods, and gracious words to save the lives of her husband Nabal and others. After Nabal died, Abigail became the wife of David, the Israelite from the tribe of Judah who became the 2nd king to reign over all of the Israelites in the Promised Land. A woman in Shunem fed Elisha the prophet and arranged with her husband to have a permanent room added to their home for Elisha. Over 800 years after Elisha prayed to the Lord God and the Shunnamite woman's dead son began living again, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. On the 8th day after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was circumcised. When Mary was purified according to the laws that the Lord God gave to Moses for the Israelites, Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Jerusalem. Righteous and devout Simeon held Jesus in his arms, and blessed the Lord God, and blessed the family. Anna the prophetess praised the Lord God and spoke of Jesus to others. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born and circumcised, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. The Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus, and the Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. For 40 days Jesus fasted and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna and other women financially helped the ministry of Jesus the Christ. Less than 3 1/2 years after Jesus was baptized, Jesus was betrayed and arrested. Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, and other women were not far away when Jesus was crucified, and several of the women went to anoint the body of Jesus after the body of Jesus was buried in a tomb. On the 3rd day after Jesus was crucified, Jesus was resurrected. Mary Magdalene was the 1st of over 500 people to see Jesus after Jesus was resurrected. Forty days after Jesus was resurrected, Jesus was returned to heaven.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-5:31, Ruth, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings 1:1-8:6, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 10:1-29:30,  Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
