So now that I've got my smart phone, I have downloaded the "Holy Bible" app which has different reading plans that you can choose from. I've started The One Year Bible and today is day 4. I am doing it after I put Kyla to bed and before I go to bed...it takes like 15 minutes out of my day, which is not much. Several years ago I bought a Women's One Year Bible because I wanted to go through the Bible in one year, but then I didn't stick to it. I really like this app because you can turn on the audio and also follow along with the text, which for me, is pretty much the only way I am going to learn. It was kind of funny because on day 2 there was a verse that talked about Jesus healing a man with a deformed right hand. I thought that was kind of ironic, but shows that limb deficiencies were present even back in Jesus' times. So what I plan to do is post all of the Bible verses I run across that have to do with limb deficiencies, just because I think it's interesting and Kyla might like to read them someday. I will update this post as I come across more.
Luke 6:6-11 (New Living Translation)
Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
6 On another Sabbath day, a man with a deformed right hand was in the synagogue while Jesus was teaching.
7 The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely. If he healed the man’s hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath.
8 But Jesus knew their thoughts. He said to the man with the deformed hand,
“Come and stand in front of everyone.” So the man came forward.
9 Then Jesus said to his critics,
“I have a question for you. Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?”
10 He looked around at them one by one and then said to the man,
“Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored!
11 At this, the enemies of Jesus were wild with rage and began to discuss what to do with him.
