DEUTERONOMY 28:
Yesterday we read of the ceremony that Moses
commanded the people to perform when they entered the promised
land. The Levites were to loudly proclaim curses from Mount Ebal
over anyone who violates the laws.
PSALM 64:
If
you feel that people are looking for opportunities to slander you,
this psalm is for you.
ACTS 16b:
Yesterday in in this chapter— via the change of
pronouns, we understood that Luke joined with Paul as one of his
traveling companions. Also note that the Holy Spirit can also be
called the Spirit of Jesus. These are one and the same Spirit of
God.
NLT Translation notes:
Deut. 28:20 “The Lord himself will send on you curses, confusion, and
frustration in everything you do, until at last you are completely
destroyed for doing evil and abandoning
[him//me].
Deut. 28:51 Its armies will devour your livestock and
crops, and you will be destroyed. They will leave you no grain,
[no//new]
wine, olive oil, calves, or lambs, and you will starve to
death.
Ps. 64:9 Then
everyone will be afraid; they will proclaim the mighty acts of God
and realize all the amazing things he [has
done//does].
Acts 16:18 This went on day after day until Paul got so
exasperated that he turned and said to the demon within her, “I
command you in the name of [
Christ Jesus// Jesus Christ] to come out of her.” And instantly it left
her.
31They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and
you will be saved. [And the
same is true for//, along with everyone in your
household.”]
