Numbers 20 Someone Dies and the Promise of Hope in Jesus!



 Good Saturday morning, I hope you have great plans for your weekend! We have a big lunch out with friends today, but first, I have my accountability breakfast meeting with five brothers in Christ. I look forward to both of these meetups. There was a lot of work for me yesterday, and most of it was complete before the heat rolled in. We were teased that there might be a storm and some rain, but it never materialised.

 Today’s Daily Bible Challenge is chapter 20 of Numbers. Someone dies before entering the promised land due to their sins against God. He won’t be the last either; there is at least one more important death we will read about in the next week or so. I don’t think this or the other death was like being cast into hell, just a denial of the reward due to choosing to rebel against God. In other words, they still went to heaven, they just didn’t enjoy the earthly rewards for their long journey.
 
 I know I have been both rewarded and corrected by God in this lifetime. Aaron and Moses didn’t have the blood of Jesus to wipe away the wrath as we do now. But it is not a universal cleansing, granted to everyone; it must be accepted with a covenant of Lordship. If you seek this new life in Christ or are just still trying to fill that empty spot in your heart, stuffing anything and everything into it as I once did, and still feeling empty. We, here at The Daily Bible Challenge, can walk you through what it takes to enter into the covenant with God. We are promised that this Living Water will fill that hole in your heart, and you will thirst no more! [John 4:10-14] If you want to talk about it, please contact us directly through Direct Messaging!

 Talk with you soon!

Leviticus 9 Be a doer of God's word! It is a safer place to be, don't make stuff up on your own!

Image
   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 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...

Exodus 16 God's Provision, Manna

Image
 God's Provision, Manna Good morning from the little corner office overlooking the rainy and thoroughly soaked, Little Hundred Acre Wood. There are still flashes of extreme lightning in the distance. I have always loved this artwork, but it seems to have passed by and is on its way east. This provision of rain will be nourishing our grape orchard, and it’s just in time to save the young grapes, our largest crop ever after planting five years ago now. These are all table grapes, and our weather is not ideal for growing these. Maybe this year will be our first real abundance of grapes! We are quite entrenched in The Little Hundred Acre Wood now, this will be the longest we have lived in one house, seven years has always marked big changes in our lives. Who knows what God will bring this time, or if He has plans for us to stay planted here for the rest of our days. God sure had plans for His people in Exodus 16, and for forty years, they will be moving from place to place as the...
