Today, there is way too much to break down. So we are just going to have the verses to meditate on till tomorrow. It is going to take us a couple of days to get through these. From the beginning God has been working on something and He is working on completing it even as we live and breath today. Where are you....what have you done?
I thank God for His Mercy and Grace..I pray you See, Turn from your ways and be saved. If you have already done this, I pray you help me cover those with Christ who prayed "Father forgive them for they know not what they do!"
Love,
Candace

27"What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
28"Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29"Are not two sparrows sold for a [a]cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.

33"But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
34"Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

36and A MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD.

46"They shall become (AX)a sign and a wonder on you and your descendants forever.
47"(AY)Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and a glad heart, for the abundance of all things;
48therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the LORD will send against you, (AZ)in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in the lack of all things; and He (BA)will put an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
49"(BB)The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, (BC)as the eagle swoops down, a nation whose language you shall not understand,
50a nation of fierce countenance who will (BD)have no respect for the old, nor show favor to the young.
51"Moreover, it shall eat the offspring of your herd and the produce of your ground until you are destroyed, who also leaves you no grain, new wine, or oil, nor the increase of your herd or the young of your flock until they have caused you to perish.
52"(BE)It shall besiege you in all your towns until your high and fortified walls in which you trusted come down throughout your land, and it shall besiege you in all your towns throughout your land which the LORD your God has given you.
53"(BF)Then you shall eat the offspring of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters whom the LORD your God has given you, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will oppress you.
54"The man who is refined and very delicate among you shall be hostile toward his brother and toward the wife he cherishes and toward the rest of his children who remain,
55so that he will not give even one of them any of the flesh of his children which he will eat, since he has nothing else left, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will oppress you in all your towns.
56"(BG)The refined and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground for delicateness and refinement, shall be hostile toward the husband she cherishes and toward her son and daughter,
57and toward her afterbirth which issues from between her legs and toward her children whom she bears; for (BH)she will eat them secretly for lack of anything else, during the siege and the distress by which your enemy will oppress you in your towns.
58"If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, to (BI)fear this honored and awesome (BJ)name, the LORD your God,
59then the LORD will bring extraordinary plagues on you and your descendants, even severe and lasting plagues, and miserable and chronic sicknesses.
60"(BK)He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid, and they will cling to you.
61"Also every sickness and every plague which, not written in the book of this law, the LORD will bring on you (BL)until you are destroyed.
62"Then you shall be left few in number, (BM)whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven, because you did not obey the LORD your God.
63"It shall come about that as the LORD (BN)delighted over you to prosper you, and multiply you, so the LORD will (BO)delight over you to make you perish and destroy you; and you will be (BP)torn from the land where you are entering to possess it.
64"Moreover, the LORD will (BQ)scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; and there you shall (BR)serve other gods, wood and stone, which you or your fathers have not known.
65"(BS)Among those nations you shall find no rest, and there will be no resting place for the sole of your foot; but there (BT)the LORD will give you a trembling heart, failing of eyes, and despair of soul.
66"So your life shall hang in doubt before you; and you will be in dread night and day, and shall have no assurance of your life.
67"In the morning you shall say, 'Would that it were evening!' And at evening you shall say, 'Would that it were morning!' because of the dread of your heart which you dread, and for the sight of your eyes which you will see.
68"The LORD will bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way about which I spoke to you, 'You will never see it again!' And there you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer."
