After praying hard today I got this sudden feeling I needed to open my Bible. I then closed my eyes and opened it up to 5 different parts, and with my eyes still closed moved my finger across the pages to land on 5 random passages. Here's what I landed on:
-
2 Maccabees, 3: 29-30 "While he lay speechless and deprived of all hope of aid, due to an act of God's power, the Jews praised the Lord who had marvelously glorified his holy Place; and the temple, charged so shortly before with fear and commotion, was filled with joy and gladness, now that the almighty Lord had manifested himself."
-
Psalms, 91: II: 14-16 "Whoever clings to me I will deliver; whoever knows my name I will set on high. All who call upon me I will answer; I will be with them in distress; I will deliver them and give them honor. With length of days I will satisfy them and show them my saving power."
-
Ezekiel, 36: 13-15 "Thus says the Lord God: Because they have said of you, 'You are a land that devours men, and you rob your people of their children'; therefore, never again shall you devour men or rob your people of their children, says the Lord God. No more will I permit you to hear the reproach of nations, or bear insults from peoples, or rob your people of their children, says the Lord God."
-
This was a weird one. I landed on a footnotes section instead of a verse, but here it is (it's located around Numbers 15: 16 or so): "The evidence seems to show that there were two distinct rebellions: one of Korah and his band and the other of Dathan and Abiram [...] The Rebellion of the Reubenites, Dathan and Abiram, was of political nature, against Moses alone as the civil leader; these rebels were punished by being swallowed alive in an earthquake. The rebellion of Korah was of a religious nature, against the religious leadership of Moses and Aaron; about two hundred and fifty malcontents joined Korah's band; they were punished by fire"
-
2 Corinthians 6: 14-16 "Do not be yoked with those who are different, with unbelievers. For what partnership do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? What accord has Christ with Beliar? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said: 'I will live with them and move among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people.'"
-----I hope this helps all of you as it helped me. Pray, never stop praying.
It's the Bible bro, give it a rest.
