2nd Kings 25 Judah Falls



  Judah falls to the king of Babylon. Just how far down did the sins of Israel drag her? That is what we will listen to in Today’s Daily Bible Challenge as we dive into the final chapter of the books of 1st and 2nd Kings. Remember, I do not claim to be a Biblical scholar, though I have read it cover to cover many times. But many points in this chapter leave me asking more questions, with little reference material to dig into; many of those questions will remain unanswered. I can live with that, because I understand and even cherish my mere mortal perspective. Cherish you ask? Yes, I understand how big God has to be to keep all this together, and I am happy to have no part of that! So sometimes if it is not a central salvation issue, I just let it go and trust in God with all His Wisdom!

  The deceiver wants us to believe we can control everything, and we are a central character in this play, but God has humbled me enough to know I am at best a supporting character with few lines of importance!

  So here are my lines: Please join us in The Daily Bible Challenge, where we read/listen to the whole Bible cover to cover in context! You just click the link below, and an audiobook provided by BLB.ORG will pop up and read it to you in everyday modern English. But it was translated from the original Greek and Hebrew, so don’t worry about any translation losses!

  If you have questions about a relationship with God or about the chapter for any given day, we welcome those through PM/DM.

  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...
