First here is a friend of Job, Eliphaz giving his friend who has lost so much some advice: Receive the law from His mouth and store them in your heart.

The pear tree and the lilac tree
Here is a conversation between Jesus and a Father of a devil possessed boy. Jesus first wants to know how long he has been like this and hears that it came to him as a child. Jesus: If you can believe, all things are possible to those (him) that believe. Father: I believe, help myContinue reading “The pear tree and the lilac tree”

The meadow and the garden
And this is I believe: God speaking: ‘ Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear:’ and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering of the waters He called Seas: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:Continue reading “The meadow and the garden”

Paul frequently prays for believers to grow spiritually. This is what he says in Philippians 1: 9-10. I pray that your love will exist in large amounts, more and more with knowledge and with how you judge.

The crocuses and the hedgehog
First I want to see this word tempt used in two different contexts by Jesus: Jesus speaks to Satan: ” It is written again, ‘ You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ Matthew 4:7 Jesus did not throw Himself down from the top of the temple as Satan had asked Him to do. JesusContinue reading “The crocuses and the hedgehog”

There is a garden adjacent to the Mount of Olives outside of Jerusalem. Its name means oil press and it is the place where Jesus experienced such mental pain that blood drops formed with the sweat on His forhead. These were His words to His Father God. They were said three times: ‘Oh my FatherContinue reading “Another garden and then chives”
