For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:21 This verse is a piercing truth for all of us, but do we truly take it to heart? I thought I did, but I had never honestly examined nor deeply scrutinizing what I valued and where my desires were ultimately satisfied. Being upfront and honest, Martha and I are like kindred spirits in the flesh. But it wasn’t until I actually studied her story that I saw our similarities, and then I was truly frightened. But I am grateful, because without this realization, I never would have fully grasped the perfect doctrine of Matthew 6:21. I want to study Martha’s story with you.

Matthew 10:22 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Romans 12:12 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 2 Timothy 2:3 A Psalm of David.1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. A new category has been created here on the blog at Water With Word: Simply Scripture. The posts within the Simply Scripture category will contain only verses of Scripture and no additional input. Some posts may be sharing a chapter or larger passage of Scripture, while other posts will be a string of verses relating to the same topic or containing the same original language's words (in which case proper references using Strong's Concordance will be included).
The purpose of this category is to inspire personal study. Added input in biblical studies is too often relied on more than scriptural texts, by both author and reader. Although added input has it's place—within Godly reason—where bible studies are concerned, the Simply Scripture category seeks to encourage personal study done properly.
