Joshua 20 The Six Cities of Refuge and the Avenger of Blood!


  Good morning, Madeline, and I are trying something new today, we are trying to observe our Sabbath (day of rest) today, Saturday. Because I work for the church on Sundays, it can be hard to dedicate a day to rest and time with God. We are not sure what we are doing in this new adventure, but this week we are starting small. From dusk Friday to dusk Saturday, we will rest and do no work. Because The Daily Bible Challenge is free and part of my own quiet time with God, I will still post this as usual. It is not work to me, but it is a joy and love to get to talk to you about God and how He has changed our lives and can do the same for you! Any responses to messages will be the next day, unless there is an emergency. We will be adding a little more to our new tradition each week until we understand what God wants us, two Gentiles, to do with His day. He clearly states to us that the Sabbath was made for man, not man made for the Sabbath. With that, we have a lot to learn about Sabbath days here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood!

  Today's Daily Bible Challenge is chapter 20 of Joshua. It has a mention of one of my favorite characters in the Bible, well, sort of a superhero image is what has always come to my mind when this comes up. I have posted a picture of it on today’s blog, but it is just from AI, from my mind’s imagination. But who was the Avenger of Blood? That is a good question for you to dig into with gotquestions.org! Hint, He is not one person or a super superhero type!

  Click the link below and start your adventure in reading the whole Bible cover to cover in context! That is our central mission here at The Daily Bible Challenge: we want you to read it and stop listening to (or creating) gossip about God and start listening to God about God! I will not hide that we also have a mission of introducing you to Christ with hopes you will start a new life in Christ as your Lord and Savior!

  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...
