Exodus 24 Who do you turn to?

    


Good morning, my bride is home safe and sound, and there is peace in The Little Hundred Acre Wood. Do you bring that kind of peace to your spouce? I work hard to become a better man so I can learn how to bring that kind of peace to Madeline.

Yesterday, I spent some time working on the Old Jeep Eeyore to get her ready for market. I will be spending a bit more time on her this morning before moving my efforts to the new Eeyore (AKA my antique truck). I enjoy working on cars, but not when there is pressure to get everything repaired fast due to it being a daily driver. Having Madeline and her truck home takes that pressure off me and makes it fun again. Eighty-five percent of Eeyore 2’s front-end parts have arrived, with the remaining all due before Saturday. So by next week, she may actually be fun to drive; she is kind of a beast with heavily worn and loose steering and worn bushings throughout right now. Next, she will go to the experts and get a full alignment to run true and straight to protect her new tires.

Do you have experts in your life that you turn to when times get loose and worn, and out of control? Well, I would like to introduce you to the three experts in my life: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. When my life gets upside down and when it is going straight as an arrow, I turn to these three parts of the one God. Some will refer to this as the Triune God or God made of three parts. I used to struggle with this until one day a friend said, “But it's so easy, it's like an egg, three distinct parts make one thing called an egg.” I don’t know why such a simple illustration made it so easy for me, but it did!

So when things are good, I thank God, and when things are bad, I still thank God because I know what I deserve (Eternity in Hell). But He has now made me an adopted son, and with that, I understand my identity and that I do not deserve this identity, but it has been given to me by His price paid on the cross so that I may live life in eternity with Him. It also gives my life meaning that it never had before, yet I was always seeking meaning in the worst possible places, which only led to more emptiness. God has such great plans for us if we will get out of His way and make room for Him! There is a great song about that. I will leave a link in the comments.

If you have questions or comments, we welcome them in direct messaging, and all will be held in strict confidence. I respond personally to men’s questions, and Madeline and/or I respond to ladies' questions. Click the link below to listen to The Daily Bible Challenge in chapter 24 of Exodus. We will be reading/listening to how God revealed Himself to these sojourners.

We hope to 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...
