2nd Kings 5 Undeserved Mercy and the high price for greed!

 



  Good morning to each of you, it is 12 degrees here on The Little Hundred Acre Wood in NC, Texas. My darling bride and I are not fans of this kind of weather; we have a half inch of ice covered by snow and sleet on our road. Our heat is doing a great job of keeping us warm, but we are stuck at home. You see, we live on a steep hill with a large, deep lake at the bottom of the hill. If you can't make the hard right at the bottom of the hill due to sliding on ice, you slide off a cliff into the lake…Yeah, I think we will just stay put!

  Well, let’s get to the reason we are here, The Daily Bible Challenge, in 2nd Kings 5.

  Why do people have hearts of such greed? Hey, I used to be the same way many years ago, so I am not judging you if that is who you still are! There is ultimately a price paid for such greed; either Jesus will pay that price for you, and you will repent and turn away from your old self, or that price will be on your own head for eternity.

  Today we read/listen of a great healing of a man who surely deserved death, but was given mercy instead! But we also read of a servant who chose greed and paid a very high price for his deception, and greed!

  There is hope for us all if we repent and accept His gift of Salvation and therefore Lordship. If you have questions about this relationship with the Living God, please don’t hesitate to contact us through PM/DM, and we will personally get back to each of you!

  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...
