Bible Marginalia-True Blessedness

 Bible Marginalia Series- #260

Luke 11

This section of Scripture starts 

with Jesus teaching them how to pray- 

the Lord's prayer.

Then the ask, seek, knock section.

Then it moves into demons and casting out spirits.

I always have to read this part a couple of times.

Just seems so unlike anything I know about.

Here we have- 

"whoever is not with me is against me."

Then the woman calls out to Jesus, 

speaking that his mother is blessed.

 His reply is- 

"Blessed rather are those who 

hear the word of God

 and Keep it."

Significant two-fold point here.

Yes- hearing the Word of God is important.

But- it demands a response.

Keeping the Word of God.

Doing what it says.

Here I used a piece of cardstock to cover a 

bleed-through issue on this page.

 It has spent about 2 years here.  

There was so much on this page- 

I couldn't decide which part 

was the significant part for ME.

This week it was verse 28.  

I love this part of Bible Journaling - 

that sometimes it takes a long time 

of looking at a section of Scripture

 till it falls in to place for what my heart

 needs to pay attention to.

That's a blessing.
