Do It Properly!

'Do It Properly.'
Mark 12:17. 
a)  Then Jesus said to them,
b)  "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's
c)  "And to God what is God's."
d)  And they were amazed at Him.
(This QT reminds me that, when handling what is ours, we should Do It Properly)
PRAY: For our personal stewardship, that we will Do It Properly.

'A Declaration From God.'
Acts 2:17.
a)  "And in the Last Days it shall be,"
b)  God declares,
c)  "That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh,
d)  "And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
e)  "And your young men shall see visions,
f)  "And your old men shall dream dreams."
(Through this Second one I find A Declaration From God)
PRAY: For an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our Churches.
-----------
Chris.
The Study of the Gospels can be a wise and fruitful thing to do. If you have come to the end of a Bible Study Plan and you do not know what to do next, I suggest that you Study the Gospels: Mark, John, Luke, Matthew. This may take some time but can have a fruitful effect on our lives. 

All According To God's Word!

'All According To God's Word.'
Acts 2:16.
a)  But this is
b)  What was spoken
c)  By the Prophet Joel.
(Through this QT I understand that the Pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Spirit was All According To God's Word)
PRAY: For our Faith to be grounded All According To God's Word.
----------
'Complainers.'
Numbers 21:5.
a)  And the people 
b)  Spoke against God and against Moses:
c)  "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt
d)  "To die in the wilderness?
e)  "For there is no food
f)  "And no water,
g)  "And our soul loathes this worthless bread."
(This Second one reminds me that God's Old Testament People were Complainers)
PRAY: That we shall not be Complainers.
----------
Chris.
The Word of God is always True, this is why we should read it, or have it read to us if we cannot read. The Spoken Message, whether it be live in Church, or through a TV program, or a recording, is not always 100% true and must be measured by the Bible. If we are True Believers, our own personal Bible Reading, in our first and natural language, is always best. All of us can test the spoken Message with the Word of God. 

Cinnamon!

'Cinnamon.'
a)  Song of Solomon 4:14; Proverbs 7:17. Has a romantic fragrance.
b)  Revelation 18:12-14. Can be found in the market (for culinary use).
c)  Exodus 30:22-24. Was an ingredient of the anointing oil.
(This QT shows me the uses of one of my favorite spices - Cinnamon)
PRAY: For skill in discovering uses of Cinnamon.
---------
'A Prophet.'
a)  1 Samuel 9:9. A Seer, who had the Word of the Lord. 
b)  Deuteronomy 18:18; 1 Kings 13:20; 14:18. Have God's Words in their mouth. 
c)  Exodus 15:20; Luke 2:36. May be female. 
d)  Deuteronomy 18:15 & 18; 1 Samuel 3:20. Is raised up in their ministry by the Lord God.
e)  Deuteronomy 18:20 & 22. Must never be presumptuous in their ministry. 
f)  Judges 6:8. Is sent by the Lord.
g)  1 Samuel 10:10-11. May serve as a part of a "team ministry".
h)  2 Samuel 12:25. Sometimes give names for children.
i)  1 Kings 18:4. Sometimes lives a hazardous life.
j)  1 Kings 18:13. At times need to be hidden and protected.
k)  1 Kings 18:36. Prays with spiritual authority. 
l)  2 Kings 17:13; Nehemiah 9:30. May be used by the Lord to warn God's People. 
m)  Jeremiah 14:15. Must be sent by the Lord. 
n)  Jeremiah 27:18; 42:2. Are Intercessors. 
o)  Jeremiah 36:8. Turn to the Word of the Lord. 
p)  Jeremiah 37:2. Need to be heard when they have the Word of the Lord. 
q)  Ezekiel 13:3. Must not be foolish. 
r)  Micah 3:11. Should not act like "fortune tellers".
s)  Matthew 5:12. Is sometimes persecuted. 
t)  Luke 1:70. Are holy people. 
u)  John 9:17. Jesus Christ was sometimes (mistakenly) seen as a "prophet who heals".
v)  Acts 11:27. Sometimes ministered as a team. 
w)  1 John 4:1. Beware of false prophets.
(This Second one gives me more understanding about the life of A Prophet)
---------
Chris.
Especially, the Ministry of the New Testament Prophet is a gift from the Lord for God's People (the Church). The Message of the New Testament Gift of Prophecy is for edification, exhortation and comfort. There is a Ministry Gift Prophet, who is given to the Church, telling forth the Word of God. There should be absolutely no similarity between the Biblical New Testament Prophet and the "fortune teller"!

Jesus Taught With Illustrations!

'Jesus Taught With Illustrations.'
Mark 12:16. 
a)  They handed Jesus a coin.
b)  Jesus said: "This engraving - 
c)  "Who does it look like?
d)  "And whose name is on it?"
e)  "Caesar" they said.
(This QT reminds me that Jesus Taught With Illustrations)
PRAY: For good Bible Teaching to be in our Churches.
------------------
'Refute The Accusing Lies.'
Acts 2:15. 
a)  "These people aren't drunk
b)  "As some of you suspect.
c)  "They haven't had time to get drunk,
d)  "It's only nine-o-clock in the morning."
(Through this Second one I have confidence to Refute The Accusing Lies)
PRAY: To Refute The Accusing Lies.
------------------
Chris.
We are always to pray for and respect our National Leaders, or the Leaders of the Nation that we may be visiting or residing in. The Bible tells us to Pray for National Leaders. Whether these Leaders are "good" or "bad" in our eyes, we must remember that it is God Who has put them there. 

The Word - The Lord Jesus Christ!

'The Word - The Lord Jesus Christ.'

John 1:1. 

a)  In the Beginning was the Word,

b)  And the Word was with God,

c)  And the Word was God. 

(Through this QT I Believe in the Word - The Lord Jesus Christ)

PRAY: To Trust fully in the Word - The Lord Jesus Christ.

----------------

'Jesus' Prayer For Glorification.'

John 17:5.

a)  "And now,

b)  "Father,

c)  "Glorify Me in Your Presence

d)  "With the Glory I had with You

e)  "Before the World existed."

(This Second one is Jesus' Prayer For Glorification)

PRAY: To Believe the Word of God. 

----------------

Chris. 

Jesus sets a very good example for us in His Prayers to the Father. Even when He taught His disciples to Pray, He taught them to Pray to our Father! There are so many kinds of Prayer that may be prayed. If we are not sure how to Pray, it is good to read the Gospels and to study the prayers of Jesus Christ. These prayers of Jesus Christ are surely good model Prayers for us. Just as the men in the picture can teach us to cook, Jesus Christ our Lord can teach us to Pray. 

A Fruitful Church!

'A Fruitful Church!'
Song of Solomon 4:13.
a)  There the plants flourish.
b)  They grow like an orchard of pomegranate trees
c)  And bear the finest fruits.
d)  There is no lack of henna and nard. 
(This QT reminds me about A Fruitful Church)
PRAY: For our local Churches to be Fruitful.
--------------
'Please Listen Carefully.'
Acts 2:14.
a)  Peter stood up with the eleven,
b)  Peter raised his voice,
c)  And proclaimed to them:
d)  "Fellow Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem,
e)  Let me explain this to you
f)  And pay attention to my words."
(This Second one reminds me of an important part of Church Worship: Please Listen Carefully {to both the ministers and the Lord} God wants to speak to us)
PRAY: For ears to hear the Word of the Lord.
--------------
Chris.
Spiritually healthy Churches will grow continually in different ways and will eventually produce more healthy Churches. The healthy Church consists of a majority of spiritually healthy True Believers. The desire of a spiritually healthy Church to produce other Churches is a correct and Biblical desire. In most Nations of the World there is still plenty of room for spiritually healthy "Church planting" ministry. {This means going to a place where there is no Biblical and spiritually healthy Church and planting one.) There are different ways in which a Church may be "planted". Of one thing I am sure, planting a local Church should never harm an already existing healthy (or functioning) local Church. There should never be a "competing for souls" between Churches in the same locality. 

A Trick Hypocritical Question!

'A Trick Hypocritical Question.'
Mark 12:14-15. 
a)  And they came and said to Him:
b)  "Teacher, we know that You are True
c)  "And do not care about anyone's opinion.
d)  " For You are not swayed by appearances,
e)  "But truly Teach the Way of God.
f)  "Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
g)  "Should we pay them? Or should we not?"
h)  But, knowing their hypocrisy, 
i)  He said to them: "Why put Me to the test?...
(This QT reveals to me A Trick Hypocritical Question)
PRAYER: For Wisdom when people ask us A Trick Hypocritical Question.
-------------
'Heart Is More Important Than Words.'
Psalm 55:21. 
a)  The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
b)  But war was in his heart:
c)  His words were softer than oil,
d)  Yet they were drawn swords. 
(Through this Second one I know that Heart Is More Important Than Words)
PRAYER: For our emotional heart to be in good condition. 
-------------
Chris.
Unless we are talking with family members, or with the closest of friends, we always need to be cautious about how we respond to the words that are being spoken to us. We should not be drawn into the trap of unnecessarily mistrusting people or getting into a divisive situation or attitude. God teaches us, not only how to speak, but also how to listen. 

The Lord Is A Kind Healer!

'The Lord Is A Kind Healer.'
Isaiah 57:18-19.
a)  "I have seen their ways
b)  "But I will heal them;
c)  "I will guide them
d)  "And restore comfort to Israel's mourners,
e)  "Creating Praise on their lips.
f)  "Peace, Peace, to those far and near,"
g)  Says the Lord.
h)  "And I will heal them."
(This QT reveals the Lord's Heart to Heal, Guide and give Peace)
PRAY: For a greater understanding of the Lord's Heart.
-----------
'God Can Do Anything.'
Micah 5:2. 
a)  But you, 
b)  O Bethlehem Ephrathah, 
c)  Who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, 
d)  From you shall come forth for Me
e)  One Who is to be Ruler in Israel,
f)  Whose coming forth is from old, 
g)  From ancient days.
(This Second one reminds me that God Can Do Anything)
PRAY: Submitting to the Lord our Ruler.
-----------
Chris. 
This QT reminds me that the Lord also considers the small Nations and the insignificant people. He really can use anywhere and anyone. Even until today, we can see the Lord's Hands on insignificant Nations and people. We should never despise insignificant Nations and Peoples.   

The Personal Part!

'The Personal Part.'
Song of Solomon 4:12.
a)  A garden locked
b)  Is my sister, my bride,
c)  A spring enclosed,
d)  A sealed fountain. 
e)  Proverbs 5:15. Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.
(This QT teaches me about The Personal Part of the bride's life)
PRAY: For the brides-to-be in your family and Church. Those who are now preparing for their marriage.
----------
'Accusing Their Exuberance.'
Acts 2:13.
a)  But other people mocking,
b)  Made fun of them and said:
c)  "They are filled with new wine."
(Through this Second one I can see the onlookers at the Early Church Believers Accusing Their Exuberance)
PRAY: For wise and godly behaviour when you are filled with the Holy Spirit. 
----------
Chris.
A spring enclosed is a very lovely thing: its waters are fresh and kept clean because this spring is not for public use, it is only for the one on whose property it flows. There is something very special about the spring enclosed: being around it, drinking from it and even bathing in it are are lovely and even exhilarating experiences. 

Pharisees And Herodians!

'Pharisees And Herodians.'
Mark 12:13. 
a)  And they sent some of the
b)  Pharisees and Herodians to Him (the Lord)
c)  So that they could 
d)  Catch Him in His Words.
(This QT reveals the cunning nastiness of the Pharisees And Herodians, they were enemies of Jesus)
PRAY: For God's Protection for His Servants from the subtle actions of the enemies of Jesus.
---------
'What Can This Mean?'
Acts 2:12.
a)  They were all amazed
b)  And greatly perplexed,
c)  Saying to one another:
d)  "What can this mean?"
(This Second one reveals to me the response of many people to the manifestations of the Holy Spirit: "What Can This Mean?")
PRAY: For the people to pay attention when the Holy Spirit is poured out in our Churches.
---------
Chris.
Sometimes cunning and religious people come into our Churches with cunning nastiness, they want to trap and bring down the Servants of the Lord. It happened to Jesus, it happened in the early (New Testament) Church and it still happens today. We need to pray for the protection of the Church Leadership wherever we live.

No One Else Can Save Us!

'No One Else Can Save Us.'
Acts 4:12.
a)  No one else can save us.
b)  Indeed,
c)  We can be Saved
d)  Only by the Power
e)  Of the One Named Jesus
f)  And not by any other person.
(This QT reminds me that No One Else Can Save Us)
PRAY: For our Christian family members and Church members to have Assurance of Salvation.
--------
'Just Like Any Other God-sourced Miracle.'
Acts 2:8-11.
a)  Acts 2:8. Why do we hear them speaking with our own native dialects?
b)  Acts 2:9-11. We are:
1-Parthians.
2-Medes.
3-Elamites. 
We are from:
1-Mesopotamia.
2-Judea.
3-Cappadocia.
4-Pontus.
5-Asia.
6-Phrygia.
7-Pamphylia.
8-Egypt. 
9-Cyrene in Libia.
10-Jewish people. 
11-Jewish converts.
12-Visitors from Rome.
13-Visitors from Crete. 
14-Visitors from Arabia. 
c)  Acts 2:11. We hear these men in our own languages
d)  Acts 2:11. As they tell about the Miracles that God has done. 
(Through this Second one I can see that this was Just Like Any Other God-sourced Miracle)
PRAY: For God-sourced miracles to be manifested in our Churches.
--------
Chris.
This was an amazing miracle, given by God, for the extension of His Kingdom in the early New Testament times. These early Disciples of the Lord were speaking of the wonderful works of God in languages that they had never properly learned. These languages were well understood by the hearers. This was indeed a real miracle from God. 

A Very Lovely Church!

'A Very Lovely Church.'
Song of Solomon 4:11. 
a)  Your lips drink nectar, 
b)  My bride;
c)  Honey and milk are under your tongue;
d)  The fragrance of your garments
e)  Is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
(This QT reveals to me A Very Lovely Church)
PRAYER: For our Church to be A Very Lovely Church.
-------
'Unlearned Fishermen.'
Acts 2:7. 
a)  And they {the multitude} were
b)  Amazed and astonished. 
c)  Saying:
d)  "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?"
(Through this Second one I understand that God can speak through all people: even Unlearned Fishermen)
PRAYER: That whoever ministers and teaches in our Churches will speak effectively, with the Anointing of the Holy Spirit.
-------
Chris.
We should remember that our Churches are not part of an organization, and the Lord does not see His Church in that way. The Lord's Church is a Bride, a Beautiful Bride of Christ. Those people who professionally prepare Brides for their wedding celebration know very well that every bride is different. In the same way, every local Church, whether it be a small Church, or a "mega-Church" is different and should be seen as such. 

Protected By The Crowd!

'Protected By The Crowd.'
Mark 12:12. 
a)  They wanted to arrest Jesus
b)  Because they knew
c)  That He had told the Parable against them.
d)  But they were afraid of the crowd,
e)  So they left Him alone
f)  And went away. 
(This QT shows me that Jesus was sometimes Protected By The Crowd)
PRAY: That missionaries serving in hostile environments will be Divinely protected.
-----------
'Bewildered.'
Acts 2:6. 
a)  When they heard this sound,
b)  A crowd came together in bewilderment,
c)  Because each one heard their language being spoken by the Believers.
(Through this Second one I can see the people's initial response when they heard the Early Church Believers speaking languages that they had never learned... they were Bewildered)
PRAY: For clear and simple Teaching in the Churches about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
------------
Chris.
They left Jesus alone because of the crowd. There are sometimes when people are evangelizing in difficult social environments. I have seen this situation several times. Some missionaries and Gospel evangelists face these kinds of situations quite frequently. There are two major points here: Firstly, people involved in 'front-line' mission really need the Prayers of the Church. Secondly, all people who are keen to evangelize the lost need God's Grace and Wisdom. The Gospel should never be shared in a 'foolish or offensive' manner. As the above picture reminds us... please pray for the safety of missionaries' children. 

Fragrance!

'Fragrance.'
a)  Song of Solomon 4:10-11. Of a Bride's make up. 
b)  Song of Solomon 7:13. Of the mandrakes. 
c)  John 12:3. Of Mary's anointing oil. 
d)  2 Corinthians 2:14. Of the knowledge of the Lord. 
(This QT calls me to give forth the Fragrance of the Knowledge Of The Lord)
PRAY: For the Fragrance of the Knowledge Of The Lord to be in the Christian Church and in Christian Homes.
---------
'Please Do It In Our Cities Lord.'
Acts 2:5.
a)  Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem
b)  Jews,
c)  Devout men,
d)  From every Nation under Heaven. 
(This Second one causes me to Pray: Please Do It In Our Cities Lord!)
PRAY: For more and more True Believers to be living in our town or city.
---------
Chris.
There is, as the Scripture says, a Fragrance of the Knowledge of the Lord. We are definitely not to take this Fragrance for granted. It is something that comes from the individual True Believer as they have a good personal relationship with God. It also comes from the truly Christian family as they live out their Faith on a daily basis. This Fragrance should also be around in a Pure and Worshipping Church. 

The Love Of The Lord For The Church!

'The Love Of The Lord For The Church.'
Song of Solomon 4:10.
a)  How beautiful is your love,
b)  My sister, my bride!
c)  How much better is your love than wine,
d)  And the fragrance of your oils than any spice!
(This QT shows what God intends: The Love Of The Lord For The Church)
PRAY: For the Church to respond properly to The Love Of The Lord For The Church. 
----------
'They Were Filled With The Holy Spirit.'
Acts 2:2-4. 
a)  Acts 2:2. And suddenly there came from Heaven
b)  Acts 2:2; 4:31. A sound like a mighty rushing wind,
c)  Acts 2:2. And it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
d)  Acts 2:3. And divided tongues as of fire
e)  Acts 2:3. Appeared to them 
f)  Acts 2:3. And rested on each one of them
g)  Acts 2:4. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
h)  Acts 2:4; Mark 16:17. And began to speak in other languages 
i)  Acts 2:4. As the (Holy) Spirit gave them utterance. 
(This Second one teaches me that They Were Filled With The Holy Spirit)
PRAY: For the Church Leadership and the Church Members to be Filled With The Holy Spirit. 
----------
Chris. 
Praying for our Church to respond properly to the Love of the Lord is a most important Prayer to Pray. Firstly, it means that the Church will be a worshipping Church. Secondly, it means that the Church will be devoted to doing the Will of God. Thirdly, it will be a Church that is committed to Evangelism in various forms. Fourthly, it will be a loving Church, sharing the Love of the Lord with each other and with other people who are, as yet, outside of the Church community. 

When The Lord Does Something!

'When The Lord Does Something.'
Mark 12:11.
a)  This was from the Lord,
b)  And it is marvelous 
c)  In our eyes. 
(This QT reminds me of times When The Lord Does Something for all to see!)
PRAY: For openness in our lives and Churches to what the Lord wants to do.
--------
'A Forgotten Principle.'
Acts 2:1.
a)  When the Day of Pentecost arrived,
b)  They were all together,
c)  In one place. 
(This Second one reveals A Forgotten Principle)
PRAY: For unity and togetherness of the Church when seeking the Holy Spirit.
--------
Chris.
We should always be open and ready to the Lord as to what He wants us to do. There are times when some Believers and Churches get "stuck" spiritually because they are not open to what the Lord wants to do. If we want to avoid this problem, we need to be "open" to the Lord, asking Him what He wants to do in our lives and Churches. In our Churches, we need to have unity and togetherness also. We, as Churches, should not be like the cattle in the picture, walking away from the Lord.

Mercy, Love And Grace!

'Mercy, Love And Grace.'
Ephesians 2:4-5.
a)  But God, Who is rich in Mercy,
b)  Because of His Great Love with which He loved us, 
c)  Even when we were dead in trespasses,
d)  Made us alive together with Christ,
e)  {By Grace you have been Saved.}
(Through this QT I find the Mercy, Love and Grace of God)
PRAY: To experience the Mercy, Love and Grace of God today.
-------
'God's Mighty Power.'
a)  Ephesians 1:19. Is towards us who believe.
b)  Deuteronomy 4:37; 9:29. Delivered God's People from Egypt. 
c)  Deuteronomy 34:12. Was given to Moses. 
d)  Job 41:12. Job did not want to hide it. 
e)  Psalm 106:8. God wanted it to be known. 
(This Second one makes me very thankful for God's Mighty Power)
PRAY: To be filled with the Holy Spirit. {He gives us God's Mighty Power}
-------
Chris.
We have been "Saved by Grace"! This means that our Salvation is really the Gift of God for us individually. Just because we may come from a Christian family does not mean that we are automatically Saved. Just the act of going to Church does not save us, although it is a good and right thing to do. We are Saved by Grace, and this Salvation is the Gift of God.

She Captured His Heart!

'She Captured His Heart.'
Song of Solomon 4:9. 
a)  You have captured my heart, 
b)  My treasure, my bride.
c)  You hold it hostage
d)  With one glance of your eyes,
e)  And with a single jewel of your necklace. 
(This QT reveals to me that She Captured His Heart)
PRAY: For the young people in your Church and family to have meaningful human relationships, and for any future marriages to be in God's Will.
------
'The Motive For True Love.'
1 John 4:19.
a)  We love
b)  Because
c)  He first loved us. 
(This Second one teaches me The Motive For True Love)
PRAY: For God's Love to be the motive for all of our loving.
------
Chris.
The necessary concept in practical, spiritual and emotional ways for a Blessed and happy marriage is for the bridegroom/husband to increasingly see his wife as a treasure. If this element is missing in their marriage, there will be a loveless marriage or, possibly, a divorce. Love is an emotion that can be unstable, but treasuring our partner, whatever the prevailing circumstances and living circumstances may be, brings commitment and stability.

Jesus Emphasized This Scripture!

'Jesus Emphasized This Scripture!'
Mark 12:10. 
a)  "Haven't you read this passage of Scripture?
b)  "'The stone the builders rejected has become the Corner Stone'"
c)  The Corner Stone is the most important of all!"
(This QT reminds me that Jesus Emphasized This Scripture)
PRAY: For our regular Bible Reading.
-----
'We Are To Love With Christ's Heart.'
Luke 6:32. 
a)  If you love those people who love you,
b)  What credit is that for you?
c)  Even sinners love those who love them. 
(This Second one challenges me to have Love With Christ's Heart)
PRAY: For the Holy Spirit to help us To Love With Christ's Heart.
-----
Chris.
Jesus Christ Himself urged people to read the Scripture. This makes me consider two things. Firstly, I always need to read the Bible daily, if possible. We should affirm the people that distribute the Scriptures to the non-Believers.

We Shall Be Like Him!

‘We Shall Be Like Him.’

1 John 3:2.

1.   Beloved,
2.   We are God’s Children now,
3.   And what we will be has not yet appeared;
4.   But we know that 
5.   When He appears, 
6. We shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.

(This QT reminds me that We Shall Be Like Him)

PRAY: To be ready for the Lord’s Appearing.

-----

‘A Purifying Hope.’

1 John 3:3. 

1. Everyone who has the Hope of Christ’s Appearing
2. Purifies themself,
3. As He is Pure.

(Through this Second one I find A Purifying Hope)

PRAY: To have A Purifying Hope, This Purifying Hope.

--------

Chris.

One of the major Biblical Facts for our remembrance is that we are God’s Children now. It is also proper, correct and Biblical to consider our future state because the Bible encourages us to do so. There are New Testament exhortations to consider Christ’s Second Coming and the Fact that True Believers will be with Him forever. 

Safety For A Bride!

Safety For A Bride.'
Song of Solomon 4:8.
a)  Come with me from Lebanon, 
b)  My bride, 
c)  Come with me from Lebanon.
d)  Come down from Mount Amana,
e)  From the peaks of Senir and Hermon,
f)  Where the lions have their dens
g)  And leopards live among the hills. 
(This QT reveals Safety For A Bride)
PRAY: For brides in your Church, preparing for their married life, that they will be living in safety.
----  
'Sin Took The Opportunity.'
Romans 7:8.
a)  But sin took the opportunity
b)  Provided by this commandment
c)  And made me have all kinds of wrong desires.
d)  Clearly,
e)  Without laws,
f)  Sin is dead. 
(Through this Second one I can see that Sin Took The Opportunity in the life of Apostle Paul)
PRAY: To overcome sin that would take opportunity in our lives.
----
Chris.
The peaks of Senir and Hermon were really very unsafe places! They were places where lions, leopards and other wild animals live. They were situated in Lebanon. Solomon's bride-to-be was also in that locality. It was a very difficult place to be in. Solomon called his bride -to-be to come down from there. It is really not helpful for a bride-to-be if she has to live in a difficult or insecure environment before her wedding. 
In these modern days, in most countries, a good way is for friends of the bride to provide safe and caring accommodation for her before her wedding ceremony if her own family, for some reason, cannot provide that. 

Let Justice Be Done!

'Let Justice Be Done.'
Mark 12:7-9. 
a)  Mark 12:7. Those workers said to one another: 
"This is the heir.
"Come, let's kill him
"And the inheritance will be ours."
b)  Mark 12:8. So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. 
c)  Mark 12:9. What will the owner of the vineyard do?
d)  Mark 12:9. He will come and kill those tenants
e)  Mark 12:9. And he will give the vineyard to others.
(Through this QT I can understand the phrase: 'Let Justice Be Done.')
PRAY: That, when necessary, Justice will be done.
----------
'A Sabbath Day Miracle.'
Luke 13:10-13.

When Jesus sets people free He does not talk much about it, He just does it. This happened in Bible Days and it can still happen today. We can Pray that God manifests Himself in Power and Love in our Churches. How encouraging if that were to happen, and surely new folks would come to the Church.

From slavery into family is a potentially very lovely story! Having been in some parts of the world where an acceptable form of 'servant labor' was recently practiced, I can really understand the Grace an Loveliness of this particular QT. From being a slave/servant to becoming a member of the family is a truly amazing, wonderful and lovely story.
