2nd Kings 10








 Good Friday morning, I hope this letter finds you well! We are doing fine, although this sinus infection has not cleared up much yet; today is only the second day of medicine, so I need to be patient. Yesterday got fairly warm here, and I tackled a couple of small projects. The first was getting the heat to work on my 43-year-old truck. The second was some cleanup from the construction we have had going on here, off and on, for the last three years. There is still a lot to do on that project, but getting a start in the winter was great. Today it is swinging back to cooler temps, starting out at 32 degrees. I am so glad all the roads melted before this hit! Well, I started rambling again, didn’t I? Let’s get to Today’s Daily Bible Challenge in 2nd Kings 10.

 King Jahu utterly destroyed his predecessors but still had some errors along the way, yet God showed him grace, maybe because his heart was in the right place, yet with so much blood on his hands. It makes me ponder about how King David had honors removed due to all his acts of violence. Yet he was still highly loved by God! I wonder if Jahu had similar treatment? Jahu reigned as king for 28 years, and that is a lot longer than many of his peers! Your comments and questions are always welcome here via DM/PM.

 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...
