Matthew: 6:21 ~
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Pharaoh:
An Unbelieving heart (part 1 of 4)
14 Then the Lord said to
Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go
to Pharaoh in the morning as he goes out to the river. Confront him on the bank
of the Nile, and take in your hand the staff that was changed into a
snake. 16 Then say to him, ‘The Lord, the God
of the Hebrews, has sent me to say to you: Let my people go, so that they may
worship me in the wilderness. But until now you have not listened. 17 This
is what the Lord says: By this you will know that I am
the Lord: With the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water
of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood. 18 The
fish in the Nile will die, and the river will stink; the Egyptians will not be able to
drink its water.’” (Exodus
7:14-18)
Points:
* A hardened heart
refuses to receive God’s instruction. (verse 14)
* A hardened heart
refuses to accept the confrontation of God (verse 15)
* The hardened heart
receives correction for refusing to heed God’s warnings. (verses 17)
Life lesson: A heart
that refuses to listen to God’s warning sets itself up for correction.

up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and
release from darkness for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim
the year of the Lord’s favor and
the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn, 3and
provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead
of ashes, the

will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the
display of his splendor. (Isaiah 61:1-3)

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan

was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days,
and at the end of them he was hungry. 3 The devil said
to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” 4 Jesus
answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.” 5 The
devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms
of the world. 6 And he said to him, “I will give
you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and
I can give it to anyone I want to.7 If you worship me,
it will all be yours.” 8 Jesus answered, “It is
written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.”

1 Samuel 17:3-11NLT 3 So the
Philistines and Israelites faced each other on opposite hills, with the valley
between them. 4 Then Goliath, a Philistine champion from
Gath, came out of the Philistine ranks to face the forces of Israel. He was
over nine feet[a] tall! 5 He
wore a bronze helmet, and his bronze coat of mail weighed 125 pounds.[b] 6 He
also wore bronze leg armor, and he carried a bronze javelin on his
shoulder. 7 The shaft of his spear was as heavy and
thick as a weaver’s beam, tipped with an iron spearhead that weighed 15 pounds.[c] His armor bearer walked ahead of
him carrying a shield.

8 Goliath stood and shouted a taunt across to the Israelites.
“Why are you all coming out to fight?” he called. “I am the Philistine
champion, but you are only the servants of Saul. Choose one man to come down
here and fight me! 9 If he kills me, then we will
be your slaves. But if I kill him, you will be our slaves! 10 I
defy the armies of Israel today! Send me a man who will fight me!”11 When
Saul and the Israelites heard this, they were terrified and deeply shaken.

for only he will release my feet from the snare.
Job 42:7-11 - After the Lord had said
these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and
your two friends, because you have not spoken the truth about me, as my
servant Job has. 8 So now take seven bulls and
seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for
yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and
not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken the truth
about me, as my servant Job has.” 9 So Eliphaz the
Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what
the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer. 10 After
Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his
fortunes and gave him twice as much as he had before. 11 All
his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before came and
ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble
the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of
silver[a] and a gold ring.

12 The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more
than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a
thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. 13 And
he also had seven sons and three daughters. 14 The
first daughter he named Jemimah, the
second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. 15 Nowhere
in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and
their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers. 16 After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his
children and their children to the fourth generation. 17 And
so Job died, an old man and full of years.

6When
they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began
to break. 7So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come
and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to
sink.
8When
Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me,
Lord; I am a sinful man!" 9For he and all his companions were
astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10and so were James
and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners. Then Jesus said to
Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men." 11So
they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.

Psalm 25:15 NIV ~ My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare.
Job 2:1-11 - On another day the angels[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them to present himself before him. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?” Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.” 3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.” 4 “Skin for skin!” Satan replied. “A man will give all he has for his own life.5 But now stretch out your hand and strike his flesh and bones, and he will surely curse you to your face.” 6 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, he is in your hands; but you must spare his life.” 7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord and afflicted Job with painful sores from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head. 8 Then Job took a piece of broken pottery and scraped himself with it as he sat among the ashes. 9 His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!” 10 He replied, “You are talking like a foolish[b] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?” In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.
