Exodus 19

    


Good Thursday morning to each of you. I hope your short week is going well. Mine, not-so-much, but it all turned out well as God put His hand of protection on me yesterday. Not only did “I” (LOL) keep control of my antique truck with a violent tire blowout on a curve at sixty-five miles an hour, but a DPS Trooper came along and lent me a jack so I could change to the spare and keep on my path for the day. My dear brother in Christ, Rick, was already on the way with a jack, so I called him to cancel before he got too far. What a blessing, and the Trooper turned out to be a member of our church family; he goes to a different campus, so we had not met. Such blessings are a constant in the life of a follower of Christ, but sometimes it is not so obvious. I guess I'd better order a replacement jack as the original was missing. There was a time when I would have been very angry that this tire blew out and made me late! I would have seen only the negative instead of all these blessings.



This reminds me of how the people treated Moses, Aaron, and especially God in the chapters surrounding chapter 19. That is our Daily Bible Challenge for today, and it is full of fantastic imagery! Fire descended on Mount Sinai, creating so much fear in the people that they eventually asked Moses to be their go-between so they wouldn’t have to keep meeting with God directly. In a way, many of us do the same thing with the church; we build walls between us and God (Let the Pastor talk to God for me), but God really desires to have a personal one-on-one relationship with you! YES YOU!

If you have questions about how to start this one-on-one relationship, please contact us today here at The Daily Bible Challenge, and we will walk alongside you on this journey. No forms to fill out, no personal info required, and no requests for any donations for us. From time to time, publicly, we do ask for you to consider supporting Blue Letter Bible and a few other ministries that make this blog possible, but our part of TDBC is free!

We hope to talk with you today!

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...
