Joshua 11 Alliances, Giants, and Old Trucks!


 Good morning, we have all made it to another Friday! Yesterday, I finally got the first floorboard permanently installed in my old truck. Today I hope to get the passenger side done early before the heat and my lunch appointment in Glen Rose. If nothing rips, slips, or tears, I should be installing the carpets on Monday and the rest later in the week! It has been a long summer without carpets to insulate the cab from the engine and transmission heat. If you are a long-time reader here, you know that health issues for Madeline and me have made this a lot longer project than intended! Let’s see what really happens this time LOL! I am sure being taught to roll with the punches these days!

 Well, I am rambling about old trucks again, we'd better get to Joshua 11 for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge before I have you looking up something in a Chilton's Manual for me! In this chapter, there are great alliances forming against God’s people, trying to overpower them with huge numbers. If only they understood they were actually fighting against God Himself, they would have fled to the far reaches of the earth!

 Oh, I almost forgot, the Israelites defeated the Anakim also, those pesky giants that the spies from forty years before were so afraid of! Do you have Anakim in your life, keeping you frozen in fear? I challenge you to pray deeply about them and then trust in God to fight your battle for you as these mighty warriors of Israel did so long ago. God is still alive and He is fighting all kinds of battles for Madeline and me now that we and our foolish pride stay out of His way!

 If you want to know more about letting God fight your battles, please send us a message via direct messaging on any platform you are reading this on! Click the link below to listen to Joshua 11!

 Talk with you soon!

Revelation 3 Don't be luke warm!

         Good morning, it is the day so many long for, Saturday at last! For any of you in Israel and other parts of the world, Happy Sabbath to all of you. Although some will think it is untrue, my Sabbath is Sunday, I base this on Mark 2:27, but as my Sundays are filling with church work, I may start Saturday Sabbaths soon! If you are new here, welcome to The Daily Bible Challenge, where we are reading/listening to the whole Bible cover to cover. We aren’t doing this for foolish bragging rights but to learn more about God directly from God, instead of just gossip about God from others! Who knows if those have even read the Bible!     Today we are in the book of Revelation chapter 3. It has a lot to digest, but also has so many new questions for us to research. I will not be your teacher, God and your own heart will do that! I am more here to challenge, entice, and even beg you to read and dig in for yourself. After all, I believe ...

Judges 7 God dealing with the pride of man, through Gideon

Image
 Good morning, we have made it to Wednesday, and all is good! What an incredible God story we have in Today’s Daily Bible Challenge as we read/listen to Judges 7. I can only imagine what Gideon must have been feeling as God took away twenty-two thousand of his soldiers. God did this as Gideon was preparing for a battle in which he was already outnumbered by tens of thousands! But Gideon remained faithful, and then God took it from ten thousand to just three hundred! Would you have argued with God, or maybe even just fled for your life?  Are you wondering why God would have done this? In my youth, I wondered about it too! Through this life, I have struggled foolishly with pride for many years, but God has a way of humbling us! Many years ago, God humbled us in ways that shook our lives to the very core! Then, much later in life, God used a great program called Re/Generation to show me how I still struggled with pride and just how many of my sin patterns were originating out of ...

1st Kings 4 Promises kept, although slower that planned!

    Good morning, I hope this letter finds you and yours well. We are doing well here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood. With two hounds at my feet and a tiny cat in my lap, I write to all of you with great joy in my heart! It has been such a blessing to see this blog grow so much this past year, not for my gain but for God’s glory. Please humor me as I catch up on some details for long-time readers on our project list here on the homestead.   The pressure washing will start here on the house today, and the paint should start Monday if the weather holds up for us. Some of the siding got dirty as this project started over two years ago. (even under a real tarp, dirt crept in). A brother from church has asked to do the work, and he is very experienced with painting with the high-pressure spray type rig I am providing. I have to get another five-gallon pail of paint, a case of caulk, and the trim paint this weekend, and lots of protective covering material for the deck and sto...
