Genesis 47

    

                                       
Good Thursday morning to all of you! Our Thursdays are big around The Little Hundred Acre Wood. If you are new here, that is the name of our humble little homestead in North Central Texas. My bride works at the local Artisan Bakery, and I have contractor work today and ministry tonight. I started my day at three this morning with prayers for others (mostly marriages in crisis, but some individuals also). Next, is feeding the inside animals, and making my, and Madeline's coffee (yes, two different pots) and cereal for breakfast. Normally, I have eggs, but I wanted a change this morning! Then I move into my little corner office overlooking the lake far below and the impending sunrise. I start reading the chapter for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge, and then sometimes some commentaries and other research also. Then I write something according to how the Holy Spirit leads me. I like to write something to entice you to read/listen to the Bible because so few people have even read one page of the Bible, settling for out-of-context verses along this difficult and busy life! I write to you because I truly believe this is a life-or-death matter, not that some old book will save your life, but the knowledge hidden in between those front and back covers will lead you to an understanding of how you can be saved from the depravity of this world. Yes, we need a savior, or we will surely spend eternity alone in hell without God to save us after we arrive. Your chance to be saved is a limited-time deal; when your time is up, it is too late. The time to learn about Jesus and God, and the Holy Spirit is now, not after your eyes close for the last time! God will not be mocked, so please don’t pretend with him and make this some kind of show!

If you are new here, click the link below to listen to the Bible (Made possible by the good folks at Blue Letter Bible). Today we are in chapter 47 of Genesis, and we see Joseph’s whole family move to Egypt to avoid the famine through the provision God has planned for all of them through their brother/son Joseph. What a blessing it must have been for Joseph to get to save his entire family! We will also see some shrewd business skills over the next few years of famine. Notice that a fair price was requested of the sellers each year, not pennies on the dollar. It was enough food for a whole year each time. Yes, they eventually gave everything, but this was a 7-year famine, and they were kept alive! Talk with you soon! https://www.blueletterbible.org/audio_video/popPlayer.cfm?type=nasb_n&b=1&c=47

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...
