And again on Wednesday evening, 12/10/2008.
==============================================
The following is one of my Bible studies. I use e-sword for these studies. But they may also contain information from other sources. That would be something for me to show sometime later - my library and a general list.
We are reminded quite often in the church we attend "to tithe" and "prove God". We are to told to study and "prove God's Word". So is there any thing else we are "to prove"? How about "are we proved"?
These are statements and questions which put a desire in me to study in depth God's Word.
These also raise other questions which may be referenced within one study for another study.
Prove all things
(Exodus 16:4) Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
(Exodus 20:20) And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
(Deuteronomy 8:2) And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
(Deuteronomy 8:16) Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
(Deuteronomy 33:8) And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
(Judges 2:22) That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
(Judges 3:1) Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
(Judges 3:4) And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
See Timothy for '-all Scripture is good for ---"
Also find: '-written of old for our example--?"
(Judges 6:39) And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
(1 Kings 10:1) And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
(2 Chronicles 9:1) And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
(Job 9:20) If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
(Psalms 26:2) Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
(Ecclesiastes 2:1) I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
Do study on 'heart'; '--it is wicked--'; '--hide in my heart--'
(Daniel 1:12) Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
See seperate study on why it is not "slave" as written in other books.
(Malachi 3:10) Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
This brings up other study topics, such as:
What is the storehouse? today? mine house?
Where is 'contentment'?
(Luke 14:19) And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
(John 6:6) And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
(Acts 24:13) Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
(Acts 25:7) And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
(Romans 12:2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
So "we don't know what God's will is today"? And where does the Scriptures tell us to pray "if it be thy will"?
(2 Corinthians 8:8) I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
(2 Corinthians 13:5) Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
(Galatians 6:4) But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
(1 Thessalonians 5:21) Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Try me
(Psalms 139:23) Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:(Psalms 139:24) And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Photo: FIRE OR THE GLORY OF GOD?
This photo was taken facing east in the front of our home. The lower storm clouds were overhead and in the west.
That brings up the subject for a study - the title of the photo.
