🍯 Read Judges 14  🍯  

The marriage of Samson 

 4  -  But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

5  -  Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.

6  --  And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

7  -  And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

8  -  And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.

9  -  And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.

10  -  So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.  🔯💜💜💜🙏

11  -  Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.

12  -  This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:

13   -  And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.

14  -  And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.

6  -  The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

7  -  Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.

8  -  Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.  🔯💜💜💜🙏

🌾  Read Mark 4  🌾 

The parable of the sower

 3  -   Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

4  -  And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

5  --  And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

6  -  But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7  -  And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8  -  And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

9  -  And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10  -  And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

11  -  And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

12  -  That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

13  -  And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables. 🔯💜💜💜🙏
