Numbers 24


  Good morning, what a chapter we have for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge! We are in chapter 24 of Numbers, and we are still listening in on Balak and Balaam’s conversations as Balaam reveals the future to Balak and others. Just imagine you are the president of a large country going into a territorial war, and you go to seek the advice of a well-known Preacher, Priest, or Rabbi, and you are told your enemy is God’s chosen and you will be utterly destroyed! Where do you go from there? If you believe in this God, you should be terrified, but if you are the typical leader, your ego won’t let you hear the message. I can’t even imagine what Balak must have been going through as he left this third and final attempt to get Balaam to curse Israel for him! It seems like this would be a good time to take some personal time in prayer and do some serious inward contemplation! What would you do in this situation? Rage at Balaam, and maybe even put him to death?

  BTW, you are that President in your own life, and God is sending all kinds of messages to you to repent and turn toward Him and away from your current path! He is asking you to step down from the throne in your heart and give it back to Him, so He can be your Lord and Savior! When you truly humble yourself before Him, He can then start to do miracles in your life! Giving you a New Life in Christ, a life full of Joy without the distress this life brings us when we think we can do it all on our own! The Apostle Paul is a great example of having Joy regardless of the circumstances! You too can have the Joy Paul has, as I now do!

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! Talk with you soon! https://www.blueletterbible.org/audio_video/popPlayer.cfm?type=nasb_n&b=3&c=9

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...
