Leviticus 1&2 Bloody mess this tent of meeting!





For you who live for such news, it’s Friday! Yesterday we went to Weatherford, TX, and the doctor adjusted my medication, so maybe my energy levels will return soon. I am tired of being tired! God has a plan even in all this, so I await His plan to be revealed with an excited heart! Today’s Daily Bible Challenge is two shorter chapters, as we begin Leviticus (1&2). It is right at the 5 minutes, we try to keep our reading to 5 minutes or less when possible. The plan here is some prayer time and reading each day, not to exceed 15 minutes for those in the busy lifestyle of this time we live in. If your schedule allows for more time, please do so! More prayer is always a good idea!

Chapter one teaches us what a bloody mess the tent of meeting must have become! It brings to mind so many questions for me: Did they clean all this up after each sacrifice? Did they allow the blood of a bull to mix with other animal sacrifices? Were the flies so thick all the time? I could go on and on with such questions. But I am so glad I don’t have to, you see, Jesus replaced all these sacrifices with His own body and blood when He died on the cross!

These animals paid the price for all the sins of the people in Leviticus, just as Jesus pays the price for all the sins in our lives now. The wages of sin (or the price) for sin is death. By dying for us, Jesus paid our price to get into heaven. But even more than that, He paid the price for us to be living with God NOW! When you accept Jesus as your LORD and Savior, He writes your name in the book of life for entrance into heaven later. But at that time, a process begins to break the chains of this world, with Jesus' shed blood washing you clean of any and all sins today. Somewhere along that timeline, the Holy Spirit begins to dwell in your heart and mine! Don’t get me wrong, you will still be a sinner, but it will be a mistake, not a premeditated choice or lifestyle! The only perfect person was Jesus. Our goal is to model Jesus for others, but we will fall short, probably daily. But God’s grace is enough to overcome our mistakes!

Hope to talk with you soon!

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...
