Judges 4:1-5:31
Luke 22:35-53
Psalm 94:1-23
Proverbs 14:3-4
Judges 4:8 – Barak is refusing a command of the LORD if Deborah won’t go with him. In contrast, Daniel stood alone (Daniel 6:13).
Luke 22:36, 38, 49, 51. What is the normally peaceful Jesus doing telling his people to buy swords and then finally tells his people to put down their sword. In Matthew Jesus comes across anti-sword (Matthew 26:51-52), so why the contrast here in Luke 22?
Jesus, the omniscient, knew they would be coming with swords (Luke 22:52) and was demonstrating that his followers had weapons, not to mention his twelve legions of angels had weapons (Matthew 26:53). It is clear that no man took Jesus life from Him (John 10:18), but He laid it down, just as He told Peter to lay down the weapons (Luke 22:51, Matthew 26:52).
Psalm 94:7 – What does God call those who think He cannot see or regard something? Psalm 94:8 says “brutish and fools.”
Proverbs 14:4 – The verse of encouragement to young mothers who are discouraged over their house being a mess because of their toddlers.
