Eew, Lice! (Exodus 8:16-19) [12/31/2020]

Funny title, right? Lol I love it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£ but seriously, lice is never good; I think it’s a result of sin, actually. I once got lice when I was 13 (almost 17 years ago) β€” yep; I turned 30 last week. Feels weird, actually… I don’t feel or look too different, but it doesn’t matter because we’ve been told we shouldn’t be ourselves from childhood. I personally don’t think that’s true, for the identities God gives us are very well worth living from Him for. But more of that at another time… this passage is found in page 36 of my NKJV Bible, page 46 of my NASB Bible, page 80 of my VOICE copy, and page 77 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.

I’m going from the NKJV for this funny title… I love reacting weirdly like this; I regret nothing 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣 many translations, I think, render this “gnats,” but I don’t know what the Hebrew for this is… I’ll look it up; I pray I’m not angry at the results… 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 β€” this was my reaction after looking this up; it’s lice! Ouch 😣😣😣 I don’t, like, understand why other translations render this “gnats” β€” I feel like they’re sugarcoating everything! Stupid, ain’t it?! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 This must be why… also, please don’t take offence at my many out-of-left-field emojis here; I’ll literally witness my own soul getting destroyed by a vision or something. But anyway, there’s lice everywhere, the magicians are outmatched again by God and they were impressed, but the Pharaoh turns a blind eye and shuts his heart away from his victims β€” again; God does not harden anyone’s hearts. Anyone who makes the Bible sound like He wasn’t interested in saving any particular human being in the first place is going to be destroyed by God Himself, and He will treat them as if He actually hated them (Jeremiah 12:8; Amplified Bible (Classic Edition)). My mom failed to recognize this and tried repeatedly to turn me away from Him after I was growing more, but it didn’t work, yet now she’s actually pretending to agree with me? I know she’s practiced extortion before, and not with that one scene in like 2007 (I won’t mention the details for privacy’s sake). I think she knows the “if you can’t beat them, join them” axiom and would walk in fake sincerity as always. I don’t want to even think about explaining myself because I know that whatever argument I use can fail despite if the Holy Spirit backs me up on it or not.

Sorry, I had a moment, but I wish I could remember Jesus better, but instead, it feels like I was eight years too late when I moved into Jonathan’s place, for I can’t pay back my debts very good right now, and if I get disqualified from both DoorDash and GrubHub, as what had happened to me with Postmates in the summer of 2018, it’s all over. But I still want to give people rides to some place important to them… I just hope they’re friendly; many people are pretty good at doing that this day and age, which I love, but there’s no one here in Gilbert for me to transport someone to, like a job interview. This shouldn’t be illegal, but we need to have good motives for everything, and many people who are homeless right now… they know it’s not their fault this happened to them. Why skip over someone when we can help them? The world’s in really bad shape, especially with COVID-19 flooding the earth again, so… yeah. But I do believe Jesus wanted to help the Egyptians seek Him then, and He’s doing the same now. Also, I’m noticing a lot of peer pressure going around in my generation (don’t worry, I’m not speaking of most people younger than me; purely the other 30-somethings and up who engage in corrupt practices of some kind; I don’t want to run into another one of them) β€” many people think it stops at 25 or something, but instead, the devil convinced many older men and women to worship the country they’re in, and that’s not good. I don’t think this is ever talked about or dealt with in the Church often enough. God needs to act against this. I know I hate the atheism every culture imposes in this world… the worst kind is probably politics with their Bibles to use as weapons instead of its true purpose. This kind of thing should NEVER happen.

On the plus side, for anyone that doesn’t have a lot of stable theology in their hearts, don’t worry; the Lord Jesus is able to help with His assurance for whomever loves Him… including you. I don’t imagine Caleb and Joshua being so wishy-washy or doubtful about Him here (we’ll get to them in Numbers), but thankfully, He doesn’t dare to punish anyone who wants to seek Him in another level. For who would deny anyone an opportunity to get to know God? Doesn’t make sense, don’t you think? I found this point that’s in the first sentence of this paragraph in an adorable blog about how to be resilient when life kicks your butt (it was more in the armour of God) β€” just search up “bible verses on what to do when life kicks your butt enough” or something like that… I’ll try again… 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 found it! It’s the first result… take a look, friends.

Any prayer requests you want to write to me? Drop them in my e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com! I’ll read each one, write them down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! Please? I’d really appreciate this… but have a good day, and a happy New Year! See you in 2021! πŸŽ†πŸŽ†πŸŽ†πŸŽ†πŸŽ†πŸŽ‡πŸŽ‡πŸŽ‡πŸ§¨πŸ§¨πŸ§¨βœ¨πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸŽŠπŸ“…πŸ“†πŸ—“βŒ›β³β²πŸ•°
