Little differences

Today's 'random' was

Psalm 61

and

1 Corinthians 1

I love to listen to Max McLean read the chapter,  a feature on Bible Gateway's ESV version.  I read along as he reads.

Once in a while there are little differences.

At the end of 1 Corinthians 1,  the written version is


  • 30 And because of him[e] you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,


but Max says

  • "He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus whom God made our wisdom and our righteousness and sanctification and redemption,"


Sometimes the differences relate to a revision of the ESV.  In this case,  I think Max has his own favorite version.  Do you have a version that matches Max's ?

The Kingdom and The Authority


In Numbers 25 a plague is stopped by a move of the Spirit.   In Mark 2,  Jesus reveals His Authority as the dealers of religion come at him from four directions.

God is not mocked


Scripture tells us that God is not mocked.

Yesterday's random gave words to that effect from Revelation 20.

  • 4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.6 Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.


Today's random tells us that today's events are not a surprise to God.

Am I wrong, or does this apply today?

Wow,this seems so applicable today ...



Nehemiah 5  and Romans 4  seem new and fresh, some scales must be falling.

Voting is today.  Hopefully we will heed both of the above.

Anger and Children


Psalm 145 Slow to anger,  but not no to anger.
