Exodus 33 How messy is your life right now?

    


Good morning, it is another very wet, rainy morning here on the Little Hundred Acre Wood. North Central Texas always needs rain, but this is getting a little old LOL! I will spend my time today cleaning up the shop/garage after all the mechanical work on the truck over the last few weeks. It's time to transform the shop into a metal fabrication shop for a few days. Then it will become an upholstery shop for a while. I have to clean up my mess between each kind of work just to make room to move! I tend to be very tired after a day's work and have never been good at cleaning up each day! So today’s rain will give me the excuse to stay inside and clean and organize, if for nothing else than my own sanity!

I wonder if God feels that way about the messes we make in our lives? We teach in our Re/Generation program at StoneWater Church to clean up our messes with God and others each day as they happen. If you sin against God or someone else, go admit your error and make amends, and ask for forgiveness right away. Wounds left without tending fester quickly, and so do sins against others! But when we live an honest and open life, our conscience is free, and our lives don’t become a cluttered minefield of hurts. It becomes very hard to function in a life full of so many unresolved feelings. My shop is a minefield of clutter right now, and unless I straighten it all out, it will be very hard to function in a smooth and efficient way next week. Are your relationships full of such clutter? Maybe it is time for some house cleaning for you, too?

We see a lot of this kind of healing in chapter 33 of Exodus for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge! The people have sinned against God and Moses, and there needs to be some frank discussions between God and Moses to make amends and have reconciliation! As you read/listen to their conversation, please reflect back on how far Moses has come. He was not cowering in fear as he bravely confronted God to ask for another chance and even asked God to change His mind about destroying the rebellious people!

In Exodus 33:11, we hear about what an amazing relationship Moses had with God. Did you know that through accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you too can have such a relationship with God? God can be in our presence due to the price Jesus paid on the cross. You can’t earn it; it was freely given on your behalf, if you will only repent (turn away from the past) and accept the gift in faith.

If you would like to have such a relationship with God and have questions about how to start one, please contact us today via DM/PM! Click the link below and listen to God yourself with no middleman. He left us this Bible so He could talk to us before our salvation and after! It is a road map to salvation and starting a relationship with Him, and then how to have a full and rewarding life after that!

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...
