Genesis 24 A Bride for Isaac

    Good morning, I hope this letter finds you well. It will be a busy day around The Little Hundred Acre Wood today. My darling bride and I will be traveling to Boyd, Texas, to pick up a parts truck I did some horse trading for. I am not trying to make my little Eeyore two a show truck, but I would like it to be safe and at least not draw negative attention as it does now! God is using this time to further humble me as we prepare for whatever He has next for us. He seems to be hard at work on something, but it is not clear to us yet just what He is preparing us for. But learning to wait is a very important life lesson, so as I wait, pray, and submit, I will finish the little truck restoration with the great parts truck we will move here today. It has a well-rebuilt engine and a great interior to transfer over. If it were a 4x4, I would make it my truck, but it is a rear wheel drive. Well enough about my wild-eyed, crazy adventures, let's get to today’s challenge!

   Today we are in Genesis 24 for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge, Isaac meets Rebekah, his bride arranged for by his father Abraham, well, really God arranged all this, but Abraham acted on God’s leading. There is a delicate balance in life as we wait on God, but also do not sit on our duff waiting, all the while ignoring His leadings and not acting on them. Hey, in a way, that is where Madeline and I are these days as we await God’s leading as I finish up Seminary classes this month. Right now, there has been no leading to stop The Daily Bible Challenge, so it will go on until God tells me to stop or I pass away. In fact, the only leading in that area has been to expand the audience so it is now being posted on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and Instagram.

   What if Rebekah just continued to wait instead of starting her new adventure with Isaac? She must have been so nervous and excited as she went off to this new land to meet her husband! And because she was willing to take action, a nation would flourish, and generations of people would know God’s promises are real because she stopped waiting and started taking action on God’s plan for her life!  What will you do when your nudge from God comes along?  

   Talk with you soon!

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...

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

   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! Talk with you soon! https://www.blueletterbible.org/audio_video/popPlayer.cfm?type=nasb_n&b=3&c=9

Exodus 10-11 Locusts and much worse on the way!

Image
     Good Wednesday morning to all of you! It is a strange morning for mid-May here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood. It is 57 degrees, and for us, that is a cold morning in May; our mornings are typically 76 degrees or more by this date. I will take full advantage of the cool weather for a project on my antique truck! Soon enough, we will have triple-digit weather for at least 3 months, so we will take advantage of any breaks like today! Later, I have a lunch with my son and my bride of 38 years in a small town a bit south of us. I love these little excursions just for fun or even for work, travel is something that is set in my bones for life! Soon we will be able to take some of these trips in my little antique truck, and that will make it even more of an adventure! But none of my adventures can hold a candle to Moses and Aaron as they battled with a king, the pharaoh of Egypt. For Today’s Daily Bible Challenge, we are in Exodus 10 and 11 this morning, just let the a...
