Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?ħ:7-8 - Ask and it will be given to you seek and you will find knock and the door will be opened to you. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. It also discusses things like turning the other cheek, loving your enemies, and not judging others.Ħ:25-27 - Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink or about your body, what you will wear. This covers all sorts about Jesus' life - his birth, being tempted by Satan, feeding the starving, healing the sick, being killed, coming back from the dead.
I really enjoyed reading the Gospel of Matthew. So far, it reflects my view on life and how we should behave towards others more closely. Already, I'm enjoying the New Testament much more than the Old Testament. 16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.After not picking up the Bible in many months, I'm pleased to say I've finally started the New Testament. 15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. 12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well. 11 And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber. 10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king’s house. 9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. 7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves and they said, The LORD is righteous. 5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. 4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 2 And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD, 3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. 12 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.
