Every year I pick a new translation or version to use as my "read-through-in-a-year" Bible.

It dawned on me that Jesus didn't need to touch the leper in order to heal him; He could've just spokenthe words. Touching the man showed compassion and love. That realization affected my perception ofSusanne Dietzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710634601407161821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-5478597905283988862009-12-06T10:50:36.058-05:002009-12-06T10:50:36.058-05:00Good Morning D'Ann and all,

I've often wondered after skimming past it many times in the past(John 5:6), what Jesus meant when he asked the invalid at the healing pool, "Do you want to get well?"<br /><br />I don't know if I read more into that than I'm supposed to, but working as a counselor I sometimes now think that this verse is much Jillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-47547354600585549522009-12-06T10:39:20.185-05:002009-12-06T10:39:20.185-05:00Yes, be wise and beware would be good studies, Lis...Yes, be wise and beware would be good studies, Lisa!

I could probably write a whole book about that sentence.<br /><br />I was thinking about the word "meditations" in the scripture you mentioned. For some reason for many years I only thought "meditation" applied to my conscious rational thoughts. Probably the more important application, though,Dina Sleimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214446103057806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-11832876612534277312009-12-06T08:15:51.657-05:002009-12-06T08:15:51.657-05:00Good morning, D'Ann.

But by doing that, I'm robbing myself of a blessing.<br /><br />Two phrases/words I want to do a lesson on are Be wise, and beware. They are used over and over again, and whatever follows is sure to be some good advice.Lisa Karon Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175430876079208723noreply@blogger.com
