Numers 26 A New Census With Only a few Familiar Names




   Numbers 26 is titled Census of a New Generation. In the reading for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge, this chapter is full of generational detail, which goes on and on. Think of how many thousands of people of all ages and sexes there are in this group of sojourners, and then what it would take to take down the Tabernacle and transport all its structures and the special items from within to moving out to a new region. You see, they are now beginning to conquer the Promised Land, but through all of this, God knew exactly when and where they would end up. Please notice how there are still two important names still alive in this Census; the rest have passed away due to their transgressions against God! 

   Just this census is quite an undertaking, and then to keep it mysterious, there is this cloud by day and a cloud of fire by night that leads them to their next dwelling place (Exodus). I hope you will click the Bible Picture below and let the audiobook read you the Bible word for word. You can also go to BLB.ORG and read along with the text as the audiobook reads it to you (that’s how I do it). BLB.ORG will not make you log in or track you and start bugging you with other pop-ups. They just want to make the Bible available to you for free; others donate to them, so you newbies won’t have to. Madeline and I will help support the use of their platform so our guests won’t have to.

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...
