Navel, Hands, and Knees

I heard "health to your navel" and "hands hanging down and feeble knees"

"health to your navel"

Proverbs 3:5 NASB  Trust in the LORD with all your heart...

Proverbs 3:8 NASB  It will be healing to your body (health to thy navel KJV) And refreshment to your bones.

"hands hanging down and feeble knees"

Ezekiel 7:3-4  'Now the end is upon you, and I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and bring all your abominations upon you.  4  'For My eye will have no pity on you, nor will I spare you, but I will bring your ways upon you, and your abominations will be among you; then you will know that I am the LORD!'

Ezekiel 7:8-11  'Now I will shortly pour out My wrath on you and spend My anger against you; judge you according to your ways and bring on you all your abominations.  9  'My eye will show no pity nor will I spare. I will repay you according to your ways, while your abominations are in your midst; then you will know that I, the LORD, do the smiting.  10  'Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! Your doom has gone forth; the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed.  11  'Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, none of their people, none of their wealth, nor anything eminent among them.

Ezekiel 7:15-17  'The sword is outside and the plague and the famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also consume those in the city.  16  'Even when their survivors escape, they will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each over his own iniquity.  17  'All hands will hang limp and all knees will become like water.

Ezekiel 21:3  and say to the land of Israel, 'Thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am against you; and I will draw My sword out of its sheath and cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.

Ezekiel 21:6-7  "As for you, son of man, groan with breaking heart and bitter grief, groan in their sight.  7  "And when they say to you, 'Why do you groan?' you shall say, 'Because of the news that is coming; and every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes and it will happen,' declares the Lord GOD."

Hebrews 12:1-2  Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,  2  fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:5-6  and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, "MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM;  6  FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES."

Hebrews 12:11-13  All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.  12  Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble,  13  and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

  1. I can't believe that I was so blind not to see this coming -

    See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;
    Hebrews 12:15 NASB

    February 15 and the message is to make sure that they don't fail the grace of God, because the church will be defiled.
