1st Chronicles 1



  Good Sunday morning. If this is the day you celebrate your Sabbath, happy Sabbath to you. I hope your Valentine's Day was romantic and joyful! We had a great stormy day for our Sabbath yesterday, and we sure needed all the rain we got, but we are still way behind on rain at this point. The Little Hundred Acre Wood will spring to life now that it is so warm and less dry!

  Speaking of dry, we are in 1st Chronicles 1 for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge. When we get to this point of our reading, I usually try to write a little more about Jesus and the New Life He has given me, well… because this is one of the most challenging parts of the Bible to continue the Challenge in! It is a dry series of genealogies (mostly of Priestly people). There are about five men you will recognize in all these names, standing out as central characters for the main story God is presenting in the New and Old Testaments.

  I do have one little bit of trivia for you here, and that is, why do you think a few women/girls made it into this long list of men? There were a handful of women here, maybe five at the most, out of many, many men. There is no real right or wrong answer to this question. But it is interesting to research and ponder what could have made them be mentioned! And in no way am I implying they shouldn’t be there, just curious. Click the link below and listen for yourself!

  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...
