Genesis 18Abraham's Special Privileges of Being Favored by God

    



   Good morning, we finally have some measurable rain here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood. It is a bit nippy for April, for me anyway! But we needed this rain so much, I will not complain. We will finally start getting a reasonable amount of asparagus now from our little raised bed that was gifted to us by some dear friends in a rural area about 30 miles to the west of us. I am not much for veggies, but truly fresh asparagus is amazing, even raw! 

   My eldest son and I worked on his loaner transportation for many hours yesterday. We replaced the starter, cleaned the throttle body and idle air control valve, and then replaced the neutral safety switch too! Hopefully, all this will make that old Jeep named Eeyore/one run well and stop stalling. But as old Jeeps go, who knows what will be next! I was scheduled to do some work on my old truck, but it will need to wait for another day. I can borrow Madeline’s truck if something comes up. 

   We are not here for mechanics 101; we are here for The Daily Bible Challenge in Genesis 18! Y'all need to cut me off when I start rambling like that! So Abraham enters into some tough and probably dangerous negotiations with God in this chapter. This is not something I would recommend in your life. Abraham was already favored by God, and he knew it. That probably gave him some confidence for this precarious negotiation! Although I feel like a favored son because Jesus died for me, I would probably avoid such situations with God! It seems there is a delicate balance between favored son and arrogance, and out of love and respect for God, I try to stay away from that thin line! Well, stop listening to me gossiping on and on about it! Click the link below and read/listen to it for yourself!

   Talk with you soon!

Leviticus 9 Be a doer of God's word! It is a safer place to be, don't make stuff up on your own!

Image
   Good morning, I will keep my ramblings very short this morning because we are doing two chapters for Todfay's Daily Bible Challenge. We are listening to chapters 9 and 10 of Leviticus. Chapter ten has something new for you to help break the difficult monotony of Leviticus! When the audiobook finishes chapter nine, just wait three seconds, and chapter ten will start on its own.    God was very clear in His instructions, and Moses and Aaron presented the details very clearly. God’s wrath was stirred when things were not followed correctly! Two sons of Aaron were made examples of by God to establish just how serious He was about how to run the tabernacle and the rituals of sacrifice. Priests and assistant priests were held to a very high standard, as they should still be today! Click the link below to listen for yourself!

Exodus 13 Hopeful recipiant of God's Love

Image
      Good Friday morning to all of you! We have a busy day today with behind-the-scenes work for God and His people. This is the kind of thing most people don’t even think of, yet it is part of making all the pieces fit together in a church. There are so many people reaching out in need every week around the world, but behind the scenes, someone is vetting the recipients, and then after that, others are serving them with hearts full of hope and love! You may be asking, “What is this vetting”? Well, to be good stewards of God’s resources, someone needs to make sure these are not con artists going from church to church and other organizations every month, taking advantage and living high off the generosity of others and stealing those resources from the truly needy. But after the vetting, there is only love, support, and opportunities to grow and find a pathway to break the chains of poverty. For some, it is a temporary situation, a crisis pregnancy, or a sudden m...

Exodus 16 God's Provision, Manna

Image
 God's Provision, Manna Good morning from the little corner office overlooking the rainy and thoroughly soaked, Little Hundred Acre Wood. There are still flashes of extreme lightning in the distance. I have always loved this artwork, but it seems to have passed by and is on its way east. This provision of rain will be nourishing our grape orchard, and it’s just in time to save the young grapes, our largest crop ever after planting five years ago now. These are all table grapes, and our weather is not ideal for growing these. Maybe this year will be our first real abundance of grapes! We are quite entrenched in The Little Hundred Acre Wood now, this will be the longest we have lived in one house, seven years has always marked big changes in our lives. Who knows what God will bring this time, or if He has plans for us to stay planted here for the rest of our days. God sure had plans for His people in Exodus 16, and for forty years, they will be moving from place to place as the...
