Numbers 20:1-13

The Israelites, the whole community, arrived in the first month at the desert of Zin. The people settled at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
There was no water for the community, so they banded together against Moses and Aaron.
The people laid the blame on Moses. 'We would rather have died', they said, 'as our brothers died before Yahweh!
Why have you brought Yahweh's community into this desert, for us and our livestock to die here?
Why did you lead us out of Egypt, only to bring us to this wretched place? It is a place unfit for sowing, it has no figs, no vines, no pomegranates, and there is not even water to drink!'

Leaving the assembly, Moses and Aaron went to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. They threw themselves on their faces, and the glory of Yahweh appeared to them.
Yahweh then spoke to Moses and said,
'Take the branch and call the community together, you and your brother Aaron. Then, in full view of them, order this rock to release its water. You will release water from the rock for them and provide drink for the community and their livestock.'
Moses took up the branch from before Yahweh, as he had directed him.

Moses and Aaron then called the assembly together in front of the rock. He then said to them, 'Listen now, you rebels. Shall we make water gush from this rock for you?'
Moses then raised his hand and struck the rock twice with the branch; water gushed out in abundance, and the community and their livestock drank.
Yahweh then said to Moses and Aaron, 'Because you did not believe that I could assert my holiness before the Israelites' eyes, you will not lead this assembly into the country which I am giving them.'
These were the Waters of Meribah, where the Israelites laid the blame on Yahweh and where, by their means, he asserted his holiness.
 
Job 7 1-2

Does not man have hard service on earth?
Are not his days like those of a hired man?
Like a slave longing for the evening shadows,
Or a hired man waiting eagerly for his wages
 
John 8:44

“He was a murderer from the beginning; not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him.
When he lies he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
 
Philippians 1:3-6

I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers,
because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus.
I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding of every good thing we share for the sake of Christ.
Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.
 
Matthew 12:31

"Those Who Persecute The Holy Spirit Will Not Be Forgiven."
 
Philippians 2


2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
 
Leviticus 17:11 - For the life of the flesh is in the blood:
and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls
 
Philippians 3:8

I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things; I consider them rubbish that I may gain Christ.
 
1 Peter 4:4

They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
 
Ephesians 1 : 9-10
God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfil his own good pleasure, and this is the plan. At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ, everything in heaven and everything on earth.
 
Romans 8: 1-10


There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness
 
Issaiah 55:12

You will go out with joy and be led forth in peace
The mountains and hills will burst into song before you
And the trees of the field will clap their hands
 
Psalm 91:4

He will cover you with his feathers,
And under his wings you will find refuge
 
James 1:16

Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
 

Revelation 12:1-6, 10​


Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
She was pregnant, and in labor, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet.
Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born.
The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron scepter, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne,
while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.
Then I heard a voice shout from heaven, 'Salvation and power and empire for ever have been won by our God, and all authority for his Christ, now that the accuser, who accused our brothers day and night before our God, has been brought down.
 
Ecclesiastes 12 JPS 1985

12:1 So appreciate your vigor in the days of your youth, before those days of sorrow come and those years arrive of which you will say, "I have no pleasure in them";
12:2 before sun and light and moon and stars grow dark, and the clouds come back again after the rain:
12:3 When the guards of the house become shaky, And the men of valor are bent, And the maids that grind, grown few, are idle, And the ladies that peer through the windows grow dim,
12:4 And the doors to the street are shut -- With the noise of the hand mill growing fainter, And the song of the bird growing feebler, And all the strains of music dying down;
12:5 When one is afraid of heights And there is terror on the road. -- For the almond tree may blossom, The grasshopper be burdened, And the caper bush may bud again; But man sets out for his eternal abode, With mourners all around in the street. --
12:6 Before the silver cord snaps And the golden bowl crashes, The jar is shattered at the spring, And the jug is smashed at the cistern.
12:7 And the dust returns to the ground As it was, And the lifebreath returns to God Who bestowed it.
12:8 Utter futility -- said Koheleth -- All is futile!

12:9 A further word: Because Koheleth was a sage, he continued to instruct the people. He listened to and tested the soundness of many maxims.
12:10 Koheleth sought to discover useful sayings and recorded genuinely truthful sayings.
12:11 The sayings of the wise are like goads, like nails fixed in prodding sticks. They were given by one Shepherd.
12:12 A further word: Against them, my son, be warned! The making of many books is without limit And much study is a wearying of the flesh.
12:13 The sum of the matter, when all is said and done: Revere God and observe His commandments! For this applies to all mankind:
12:14 that God will call every creature to account for everything unknown, be it good or bad. The sum of the matter, when all is said and done: Revere God and observe His commandments! For this applies to all mankind.
 
Philippians 2: 1-2

Imitating Christ’s Humility

1 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love,
if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,
2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded,
having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
 
John 9:21

He replied, ‘Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see.’
