Genesis 41 Do you trust God?


 

   

   Good morning, what a chapter we have today, as I have been saying lately, the Bible is not a boring old book! Yes, it is old, but it is really sixty-six books written over about fifteen hundred years by forty authors, yet they all intertwine and match almost perfectly after many translations. There is something divine about that, as time moves on, so many things change, but God’s word left for us is unchanging! 

   We are in chapter 41 of Genesis this morning, and God reveals the meaning of Pharaoh's dreams to Joseph. Now remember this is the same Pharaoh who hanged the Baker earlier! This man thought he was a god, or at least his people did! He must have had some humility and understanding because he recognized that Joseph’s God was more powerful than himself! 

   But I want to focus on something deeper here, I want you to think about how much trust Joseph had in God at this point! Trust is hard for Americans, but maybe we don’t have a corner on the no-trust market; maybe that is worldwide. Please consider pondering how much you trust God and your faith in Him. Are there areas of your life you have not turned over to God? Are you still holding on tightly to those because you fear His answer on how it should be? 

   Recently, God has shown me that I was still holding onto our finances and not trusting Him in this area! It seems this is one of the last footholds I have left satan to use against me! I am working on this issue now that He has revealed it to me. Even at almost sixty-four, He is still teaching me to grow more! 

   What areas do you still need to allow Him to teach you in? Will you trust in Him to get you through the growth pains of learning and growing in your faith? Click the link below to listen for yourself! As always, we welcome your comments and questions via PM/DM. 

   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!

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...
