Leviticus 15:1-6 - 16:28 -
Mark 7:1-23 - vs.13 - Making the Word of God of none effect through your traditions. Traditions are good but when traditions move in and take over there is a problem. How many things in our lives are simply tradition and how many of them have made the Word of none effect?
- Lord please help me to be aware of traditions that have crept in and pushed you and your Word out. May the only tradition I have is Love for you and my neighbor!

Leviticus 14:1-47 -
Mark 6:30-56 - vs.52 - Sometimes we experience miracles from jesus in our lives and it actually hardens our hearts. Envy creeps in. In this case the disciples saw the food that the multitude received and the power that Christ displayed and, in my opinion, we envious and it did not open their hearts, yet, to Jesus and His plan of salvation; though their hearts would be eventually opened and they would value His plan, later.

Leviticus 11:1 - 12:8 - vs 11:45 - For I am the Lord that brought you up out of Egypt, to be your God: You shall be Holy as I am Holy. Remembering what the lord has done in our lives is so important. We can look back on where we were and be so thankful for where the Lord has brought us, it helps in remembering the Lord and not forgetting and getting lazy and slipping back into sin.
I recently talked to a woman who I have witnessed being taken care of and derived by God is huge ways I personally know of 5 or 6 ways that the Lord has taken care of her. That means there are a million other ways the He has worked that I don't know about. However, she now confesses that she doesn't believe in God. It so saddened me and may me reflect on how God has taken care of me. It reminded me to be thankful for all He has done and never to forget His provisions.
Also, when someone thinks they are not very sinful and starts to point the finger at more sinful people around them remember this verse. God commands us to be Holy as He is Holy and less than this is sin. However, God knows this and deals with us accordingly, He is long-suffering, graceful etc. We are all sinful and should not be so high minded to think that we have achieved something above that which the Lord has set out in His Word.

Leviticus 7:28 - 9:6 - vs 30 - "His own hands" - To many times we assume that by giving to our local church is the same as giving to God. Things such as tithe, for example, giving to the church is not the same as giving to God. While we cannot simply give to God as He is not physically here. But as Jesus said to give to the poor or to a brother in need this is giving to God. Simply having the church as a type of "mediator" does not dissolve us of a responsibility and right to give to God. Building up a pastors work or seeming work; building up new building funds or fancier church buildings, or church programs that claim to be works of God is not what the Lord would have for His followers. They have enough money as it is it is not our responsibility to give money to greedy pastors or to this or that but rather to give all the the Lord living simply not wasting time working for more money that only keeps us busy so as to not remember the Lord always.
vs 31 - The Lord will take care of His pastors and priests. We, the lay person, being the priest. Out portion from the sacrifice is more than enough to take care of our needs. It is only our human nature alive and thriving that drives us to materialism and the idol that rules so many. Godliness with contentment is great gain. Be satisfies with what He has provided giving all back to Him for His good pleasure!
8:6 - Moses washed Aaron and his sons in front of all the congregation. Being washed with the Word cleansed from all our old fleshly ways in front of our brothers and sisters in the Lord is fantastic. It is also what the Lord wants form us. Transparency, not holding up an image of us that is better than we really are, this is the way of Christ!
Mark 3:31 - 4:25 - vs. 3:35 - Doing the will of the Father makes you a brother, sister, and mother. To put Mary the mother of Jesus on some pedestal is not Biblical not profitable.
4:2 - The parables of the sower is one of the greatest insights into the kingdom in all scripture. We notice that not all who hear are saved not even those that show some type of immediate fruit or lasting fruit even. Salvation is evident over time after testing, after proof is born and grown. Do not assume people are saved not not saved. Examining fruit is the duty of all. Not "sin sniffing" for we are all sinners and are corrupt! Will our fruit stand the test of time and especially the thorns of "the cars of this world". The riches that creep in and choke the Word out of our souls. Beware of the deceitfulness of riches!
Psalm37:12-29 - vs 16 - A little that the righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked. Again and again the Bible says it, for wisdom is calling from the streets, please listen.

Exodus 34:1 - 35:9 - vs 20 Redeeming a donkey requires a lamb... I have found, often, that the Church, in Scripture, is typed as a donkey. I find it interesting here that a lamb is prescribed for redemption of a donkey. In the same way we are only redeemed via the sacrifice of the only Holy Lamb of God Jesus Christ.
vs 24 - I love the fact that God will be watching their land as they go to worship Him. The same is true for us as we follow Him, Worshiping, doing His Will He will be our rear-reward. In other words He will watch our back. We can walk in Faith simply following taking no thought as to consequence for our earthly possessions or physical well being because He's got our back. Thank you Lord for protecting as you lead!
Matthew 27:15-31 - vs 18 - He knew that for envy they had delivered Him... The religious were envious of Jesus, envious of the way He knew the Father, the way He talked walked and knew the Father. In the same way we must guard against envy in our own lives. Envy of some perceived aspect of religious life our friends may have. For the very people we are envious of are the very people God often uses in our own lives to bring us to Him...

Exodus 21:22 - 23:13 - The repayment for an ox goring someone is 30 pieces of silver, it is interesting that the sum of money Judas received for betraying Jesus was 30 pieces of silver, whats the connection? Psalm 22:12-13 is a Messianic Psalm describing the thoughts and feelings of Christ and He says "Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round."
I find it interesting that Jesus felt like He had been gored and it would appear so from His wounds on the cross. So a nice connection in Scripture connecting all sorts of neat things that show more and more the heart of Christ.
