Numbers 6L:1-7:89
The vows that the Nazarite's make to God is interesting as are all vows made. No one is required by God to make a vow for salvation; that is God's giving the power of salvation. As long as they do the vow above and beyond the Bible, they can be blessed by God for doing so. God is very specific in His directions with every tribe giving his gifts to Him. He names every person twice in each passage. I believe this represents God has laid out His very specific plan and it is our duty as individuals to follow out His plans very specifically.
Mark 12:38-13:13
Jesus has two warning in the beginning of these passages: He warns the religious leaders against their pride and power. It is not real them sitting at the top of the tables and getting good seating is not in the name of God. He also warns against the "importance" of the rich as well, these views and vows are artificial and not of God but of man. Jesus prophesies about the temple crumbling down onto each other, the temple is something significant and powerful and Jesus says it will tumble down. The disciples have a problem grasping Jesus' prophecies again.
Proverbs 10:27-28
How prophetic this Proverb: Fear of the Lord (and love of the Lord) will lengthen my life and the hopes of the Godly result in happiness. It has! Lord I am truly happy with my hope and belief in You. My expectation as wicked were nothing without you.
