Matthew 6:25-33. Therefore I say unto you, TAKE NO THOUGHT FOR YOUR LIFE, WHAT YE SHALL EAT, OR WHAT YE SHALL DRINK; NOR YET FOR YOUR BODY, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you.
The Lord knows what we need before we ask, seek in prayer and ask for his will to be done,
This seems to be an easy to interpret chapter. Hosea tells Israel that they have looked away from God and thus He is punishing them for it by taking the land He gave them away from the Israelites.
This seems to be an example of how important it is to be grateful for what is given to us because once we take it for granted we'll realize how important it was to us in the first placeo.
1948 from 70 AD the Jews were wandering, and now God has gathered them back in the land of Israel. In the tribulation they will return to the Lord, and the Lord shall be their God. God said he will bless them that bless Israel, and curse those that curse them. One of the reasons God has blessed America, is because we have blessed Israel. I pray that this country will continue to do that. Even though the scripture teaches that Israel will be a burdensome stone to all nations. The peace of the middle east will be determined by what happens to Israel, and this is why God has commanded that we pray for them. Jesus is the prince of peace, and there will only be permanent peace when He is ruling there as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
I Think you can add Marriage to this list.
