Genesis 31

    Good Tuesday morning to all of you, I hope this letter finds you and yours well! Other than a sudden cold (I thought it was allergies) and Madeline having a scare in her eyes yesterday, we are doing fine.  We dropped everything at the strong advice of her eye clinic and went in to get it checked out. We were blessed to find out it was just a “new floater” and she will be fine, but of course, our wallet will suffer quite a bit! The floater had an unusual “bracket shape,” and that is what had all of them concerned. If only we could see into the future and understand when these things were an emergency and when they could wait for a regular appointment! In life, there are few things like that! But a least we can see into the future from what the Bible teaches us about God and what is to come! 

   If Jacob could have seen into the future about Laban and his daughters, he might have just kept going and found another well to drink from! There are still a few deceptions happening as we read/listen to chapter 31 of Genesis for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge. As Laban and Jacob make an oath/pact, they still don’t trust each other, so they call on God to hold them to this oath. It is an interesting read, but as I try to look into the future, I wonder what will happen with those false god idols Rachel took? Have you ever tried to figure out what false gods/idols are in your life? One way to find out is to ask yourself what things would cause me to mourn, pout, or get depressed about if they were taken away?  You see, even good things can become idols in our lives!

   Talk with you soon!

Exodus 13 Hopeful recipiant of God's Love

      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...
