Hear His Voice, harden not your hearts (ccc #67) 228/365 (Year 3) Psalms 101 : 5 - 6 5 Whoever slanders a neighbor in secret I will reduce to silence. Haughty eyes and arrogant hearts I cannot endure. 6 I look to the faithful of the land* to sit at my side. Whoever follows the way of integrity is the one to enter my service. * [101:6] I look to the faithful of the land: the king seeks companions only among those faithful to God.

Prophetic anointings are known in first-century Palestinian Judaism from the Qumran literature that speaks of prophets as God’s anointed ones.

At times, the poor in Luke’s gospel are associated with the downtrodden, the oppressed and afflicted, the forgotten and the neglected (Lk 4:18; 6:20–22; 7:22; 14:12–14), and it is they who accept Jesus’ message of salvation (cf. Luke 4 : 18 - 19) Andrew Teo It is not for God to know you ..but for you to know God
