1st Chronicles 25 Dig deeper when you are puzzled, please don't just gloss over something!



 Good Sunday to you, I hope this time change doesn’t throw you off today! I set most of the clocks last night before bed, but I have one analog clock left to set. Welcome to the Daily Bible Challenge. We are in 1st Chronicles 25 today. Please join us on this journey!

  It is easy to get mixed up in the Bible, not because of poor skills in interpreting from one language to another, but often because of the limitations of the English language, for one! So many languages around the world have many words for slightly different versions of the same thing; the German language is famous for this and is often the brunt of jokes about a sentence being five words in English and fifteen in German! Sometimes Hebrew can be similar to this, maybe not all the words in the same sentence, just many words that have close to the same meaning. Today, we have the word “prophecy” in relation to worship music. It does not mean future-telling in this context, but it does mean musicians engaging in divinely inspired praise. This, according to many commentaries, Biblehub for one. This confusion all stems from the Hebrew word “naba” a word that has no direct English translation, but would require a whole English sentence to explain.

 So, I invite you to join us on this journey of reading the whole Bible cover to cover in context. We meet here daily (yes, 365 days) and listen to one or two chapters and then dig a little deeper into the application or puzzling meanings along the way. Click the link below, and a pop-up audiobook will read it to you, no forms to fill out or any questions asked. Audiobook provided by the good folks at BLB.ORG!

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...
