Parshat Vezot Hab'rachah, 2nd Portion (Devarim (Deuteronomy) 33:8-33:12)
Deuteronomy 33:8-12 New King James Version
8 And of Levi he said:
“Let Your [a]Thummim and Your Urim be with Your holy one, Whom You tested at Massah,
And with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah,
9 Who says of his father and mother, ‘I have not seen them’;
Nor did he acknowledge his brothers, Or know his own children;
For they have observed Your word And kept Your covenant.
10 They shall teach Jacob Your judgments, And Israel Your law.
They shall put incense before You, And a whole burnt sacrifice on Your altar.
11 Bless his substance, Lord, And accept the work of his hands;
Strike the loins of those who rise against him, And of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”
12 Of Benjamin he said: “The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him,
Who shelters him all the day long; And he shall dwell between His shoulders.”
2 Kings 22 New King James Version
Josiah Reigns in Judah
1 Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. 2 And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in all the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
11 Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, that he tore his clothes. 12 Then the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, [b]Achbor the son of Michaiah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying, 13 “Go, inquire of the Lord for me, for the people and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found; for great is the wrath of the Lord that is aroused against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.”
18 But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, in this manner you shall speak to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: “Concerning the words which you have heard— 19 because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you,” says the Lord. 20 “Surely, therefore, I will [c]gather you to your fathers, and you shall [d]be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the calamity which I will bring on this place.” ’ ” So they brought back word to the king.
2 Kings 23
21 Then the king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.” 22 Such a Passover surely had never been held since the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah. 23 But in the eighteenth year of King Josiah this Passover was held before the Lord in Jerusalem. 24 Moreover Josiah put away those who consulted mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord. 25 Now before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; nor after him did any arise like him.
Luke 1:39-56 New King James Version
Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, 40 and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45 Blessed is she who [a]believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”

46 And Mary said: “My soul [b]magnifies the Lord,
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
48 For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;

Here and Now:
My sleep last night was almost 5 hours and to me that is enough because this place has always been my battleground a place where I shouldn't sleep too long, because this place is filled with battles... and I was called GOD'S watchman to this territory, but Lapulapu was my resting place, it was a stronghold for the victor Lapulapu who fought and killed the bearer of the false religion and of hypocrisy.

46 And Mary said: “My soul [b]magnifies the Lord,

For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name.
50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He has put down the mighty from their thrones, And exalted the lowly.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty.
54 He has helped His servant Israel, In remembrance of His mercy,
55 As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed forever.”
56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house.
Psalm 114 New King James Version
The Power of God in His Deliverance of Israel
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people [a]of strange language,
2 Judah became His sanctuary, And Israel His dominion.
3 The sea saw it and fled; Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.
5 What ails you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back?
6 O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.
49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name.
50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He has put down the mighty from their thrones, And exalted the lowly.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty.
54 He has helped His servant Israel, In remembrance of His mercy,
55 As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed forever.”

4 The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs.

8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters.

Observation
The Levites were able to take back the curse over them when they proved to GOD that they would stand with HIM more than they would their own families for they have observed YOUR WORD and kept YOUR commandments as written in Deuteronomy.
Josiah was a good King that pleased GOD becuase of how well he followed GOD all the days of his young life except for the one time where he deliberately disobeyed GODs word not to fight with the King of egypt which led to his death. This tragic story reminds me never to disobey GOD not even risk one time just because we feel like doing something that's not ordered by GOD and he probably felt overconfident to fight a battle GOD didn't call him to fight because of his previous victories.
In Luke, Mary was overjoyed praising GOD because her older cousin confirmed what GOD had been speaking to her regarding carrying and mothering the Son of GOD who was to save the world and so she already knew in her heart how blessed and highly favored she was just as the Angel Gabriel had greeted her. Sometimes, we only believe a certain truth when it has been confirmed with others who are near and dear to us. She was humble and lowly but her joy came from knowing GOD looked upon her with favor because HE was pleased with her.
Application
May the LORD redeem my life from all the curses that may have come upon me because of my ancestors and parents, may the LORD do for me just what HE did for Elizabeth and Mary, giving them husbands who believed and faithfully served HIM, causing the barren in me to be fruitful and bearing miracles even in such an old age. May the LORD help me to always be sensitive in HIM and not to fight against battles GOD has not called me to fight, may the LORD always give me a Spirit of discernment and understading, wisdom and knowledge, a heart that always desires what HE desires for me no matter how different it is from whatever I desire for myself, I pray to have 1 desire with GOD with HIS desires for me so that unlike Josiah, I will not commit unecessary mistakes that will end my life. I want GOD to always take hold of me, make my Spirit steadfast and confident in HIM always trusting in HIM because I have no ONE else to lean on and put my heart to. HE is the only ONE who loves me best and who has the best in store for me.
