Matthew 6:8-10          New English Translation

8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 So pray this way:

Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored,

10 may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

 

The devil caused Job’s sickness, but some cause their own

What we sow is what we reap and that is a written law

Natural or spiritual there are boundaries set before us

There is no escape from these results unless before Christ we bow

 

2 Corinthians 12:6-7 New English Translation

6 For even if I wish to boast, I will not be a fool, for I would be telling the truth, but I refrain from this so that no one may regard me beyond what he sees in me or what he hears from me, 7 even because of the extraordinary character of the revelations.7 even because of the extraordinary character of the revelations. Therefore, so that I would not become arrogant, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to trouble me—so that I would not become arrogant.

 

Was a certain man born blind because of sins committed?

Or direct or indirect consequences of the “Fall”?

So that the Glory of God would be magnified mentioned

By Christ the Savior and so to be an example for us all

 

Luke 13:10-12            New English Translation

Healing on the Sabbath

10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath, 11 and a woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit[c] for eighteen years. She[d] was bent over and could not straighten herself up completely. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her to him[g] and said, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”

 

On the other hand we know that Satan has no feelings

Love to him is foreign and hate motivates and drives him on

Sufferings of others are called by him a blessing

The more pains he instills, the more he carriers on
