2nd Samuel 12 One Who Rebukes is a True Friend!



  Good Saturday morning! We have some long-time readers/friends who insist I give them these updates on the happenings here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood (yes, that means you, Molly & Sandra, etc.). So the rest of you, please humor me on the following two paragraphs; the good stuff is below those, please feel welcome to skip over all this! I had a few things side sidetracked me from finishing the siding repair on the back of our house yesterday. I will finish it today before any real winter weather arrives. We are forecast for another Texas December day in the mid-sixties and sunny! It made it to 73 degrees yesterday; it was a joy to work outside in that! It has been pretty much like this all week.

  We also had a contractor repair the lead in to our driveway yesterday, filling in some potholes with hot asphalt. They were doing a large job just up the hill from us, and our work was done with the leftover scrap! This was a special gift to my bride, as it was bad backing out of the driveway and falling into those three craters. But today’s plan is to prime the special trim I made yesterday and install it and caulk it to be ready for old man winter!

  We are in 2nd Samuel 12 for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge, where we hear/read about King David’s friend Nathan, who was willing to risk it all to point out just how bad David has been! Now, for a good friend to rebuke you in love, they risk losing your friendship, but for Nathan, he was also actually risking death, as David, as King, had already murdered one man to try to cover up his adultery, what would one more matter? But the way Nathan did it was so beautiful! He tells a story… no, that is all I will tell you here! Click the link below and listen to it straight from the Bible made possible by BLB.ORG! As always, we welcome your comments or questions via PM/DM.

  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...
