2nd Kings 24



  Good morning, I finally finished up a never-ending job yesterday. It has always puzzled me how, when a job goes wrong, it seems to be snakebit, and it is five times harder to get it finished correctly. Everyone who touches it messes up all along the way! But it sure feels good to have this one
wrapped up before the weekend! As my Pastor said on the phone last night, there is a lot of spiritual warfare going on these days. We were having some property rights issues with a builder on a lot near us yesterday, so I was on my phone trying to resolve the problem while a paint brush was in my other hand… I felt attacked, but kept praying little prayers in between all the interruptions. God finally used it all for good by the end of the evening, but it was sure not looking good in the middle of all of it.

  How do you steer your life through the maze of interruptions and turmoil that arises? Of course, the best way is to plan well and keep up with the little stuff so it doesn’t ever become a big problem. But we can’t always control everything, and sometimes things will explode into a mess! Well, I would tell you that if you are all prayed up ahead of time, and also say little prayers at every little junction, life will become less stressful as God reminds you He is in charge and we are not! Oh, we like to think we are in charge, but life has a way of showing all of us that we aren’t!

 That is just what Today’s Daily Bible Challenge is all about, as we listen to 2nd Kings 24 and see God fulfill His word that His people will be scattered from the promised land due to their complete disrespect of God. It is interesting to me that this conqueror moved the best people out of the land to his land as servants, instead of the usual method of killing every man, woman, and child! So God did what HE said HE would do, without killing the remnant of His chosen people! 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...
