Genesis 16:1-18:15
The whole episode with Sarai. Abram and Hagar seems to show some petty misbehavings and not godly ways.Q Is this passage to show us we all sin and are not perfect? Even the blessed chosen ones by God, God also comforts Hagar and blesses her as well showing his love for her in this scenario. God tells Abraham about the blessings and the children he is going to give him and Abraham laughs to himself and doesn't believe it. The Lord explains they will have a son Isaac in about a year and he will be blessed. The Lord comes again and tells them about his plan, Sarah laughs and then denies laughing to the Lord, of course the Lord knows and call hers on it.
Matthew 6:1-24
"Don't do your good deeds publicly to be admired by others for you will lose the reward from your father in Heaven". So when we give or do good things, we don't need to do it for others or even for ourselves we do it for our Lord and Saviour. This passage also talks about praying in private, not doing it as a show for people to see. This passage in the bible I truly believe is about not doing things for the show of religion but for our God and Savior Jesus Christ. He mentions the same thing in regards to fasting and more importantly the collecting of treasures on this planet. Wherever your treasure is, is where the desires of your heart will be. Keep your treasures in heaven and that is where your heart will be.
Proverbs 2: 1-5
This passage commands us to search out the Lords wisdom and insight as we would silver or treasures.
