1st Chronicles 18 & 19 A war that was so avoidable!





  Good morning! I hope you have a big day ahead that you are looking forward to! I know I am, but that is a decision I made, yes, I chose to look forward to boring a 6” coring hole in a parking lot! We needed a guest parking spot marked at the church, and this is the only way to secure the pole it will be mounted to. All other attempts to mount signs on asphalt have failed. If all I get done is the hole, that will be enough for today, but I hope to get the pole installed too! There is always something going on at a lively church like ours! I also have a small second job for a friend later in the week, and several jobs on my antique truck, Eeyore. So a busy week ahead, but not nearly as busy as what King David had in these two chapters for Today’s Daily Bible Challenge, please join us!

  What a fitting couple of chapters for the times we are in today! King David strengthened his kingdom with each conflict and skirmish. God had His hand of protection on David and His people! Then there was a war that could have been easily avoided if a young king had not listened to very bad advice from his peers. A war that, when it gets right down to it, was pure pride on the two kings' parts! It is sad when young soldiers go to war and die over the pride of their king/ruler. But please, in no way take that as an editorial on this week's war. I think freeing people from arrogant rulers who have used spiritual oppression and terrorism for 47 years is a noble cause. So please click the link below and read/listen to chapters 18 & 19 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...
