1st Chronicles 20
Good Tuesday morning! What a wild ride we had yesterday with things we count on and don’t even think about failing and causing turmoil in our lives! Truck problems, sewer problems, and a few other things along the way. We are promised difficulties when we follow Christ, and spiritual warfare was at an all-time high for us yesterday here at The Little Hundred Acre Wood! But we just rolled with the punches and set up a plan to resolve each problem over the next week or so. We will still go do all our normal church family stuff, if even just to spite satan LOL! No one was bleeding or getting a death prognosis, so none of these obstacles will stop us, maybe slow us down a bit, but not stop our Joy!
Our chapter is short this morning, but it is full of truly gruesome details of a war and the destruction of a people group. Namely, the last few giants, Goliath’s descendants. But there is a lot of meat on the bone in this area to research. Although it reads that they used the saws and axes on the people, many scholars saw that the Hebrew word used here means they put them to work with saws and axes, as slaves. So when you come across something that puzzles you in scripture, that is a good time to dig a little deeper! My darling bride and I also dig a little deeper when life throws us curve balls like yesterday’s events. We make sure we are not ignoring signs from God, and we also make sure we are not failing to meet the requirements of living as adults. You know, letting responsibilities slide, causing an occasional avalanche of bad circumstances. But this is not the case with our sewers, nor my truck. So we will fight on through life, keeping our hearts focused on the Joy we receive from the Holy Spirit and not let worldly hiccups dissuade us from our mission of telling people about God and what He has planned for them!
If you would like to know more about a new life in Christ that brings Joy regardless of circumstances, please contact us here via PM/DM, and we will get back with you!
Talk with you soon!
