1st Kings 18 BIG Miracles and Lordship Questions



  Good Friday morning, what an exciting time we live in! Every day is filled with news stories more surprising than the last! For some, it breeds fear deep in their hearts, but for us as Christians, we should see it as a sign of the times and not be fearful but rejoice that the Lord Jesus is returning soon! Do I know the exact time? No, of course not, as the scriptures say, no man will know! Do I have fear, only that I might get fooled or fail my mission in some way? But I trust in the Lord to set me on the right path at that time!

  Do you have confidence in the Lord? Have you asked Him to save you, yet have not yet invited Him to be your Lord? Well, if that is you, it is a simple request with the hardest path you will have ever taken! Yes, His yoke is light, but your heart is heavy with selfish ambition, preventing this new life.

  So here is the key: it is relinquishing control of every area of your life, and submitting to Him as Lord. I believe this is the very reason the pathway is described as narrow into heaven (Matthew 7:14). We have this great pride in our hearts that is blocking our path to His Lordship. For most, we have accepted satan’s lies and do not even recognize our own pride standing right in front of us!

  This morning, I invite you to ask God with your whole heart to be your Lord and your Savior. Start praying little silent prayers over everything, and when you don’t get a clear answer, dig into the Bible and find out what God says about such decisions! Now, if you are new to all this, I am not suggesting you pray over what to order from the menu at your chosen restaurant. But I am saying to ask, “God, is this the Job you intend me to stay in”? God, who am I to marry, or am I to marry? God, who should I pray for? What should I read, what movies should I not watch… You get the idea, turn the direction in life over to your master and see what a fantastic life He has waiting for you!

  We read about how Elijah did just that in our chapter for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge, 1st Kings 18. We will read about one of the most amazing ways God has ever revealed Himself to his rebellious people. How would you react if you witnessed this happening right in front of you? Well, I think in a way we are in a time when God is about to reveal Himself in even a more astounding way! Click the link below to hear how Elijah allowed God to be his Lord!


  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...
