2nd Chronicles 15



  Good day to each of you, far and wide! Today’s daily Bible Challenge Blog is not for everyone. If you are content in God and in a full saving relationship, this might not appeal to you. But for those who are still feeling empty, who go to some big church each week, but still haven’t found the Lord and still have that empty feeling in their hearts, this one is for all of you! It is also for a seeker who has not found God or a church they are seeking. We are in 2nd Chronicles 15, and a prophet of the Lord has been sent to call out to the king and the people.

  Are you waiting on a prophet to tell you what is missing? Maybe you have been attending church at a large, organized worldwide religion for ten, twenty, or even fifty years, yet still feel empty! Knowing something is missing, but not knowing what to do about it! Well, all of you who fit into these descriptions, this day’s Bible Challenge is for you! Maybe what's wrong isn’t your church; maybe it’s you! Have you become a listener and not a doer? STOP waiting and start really seeking the Lord, read your Bible! If you are really new to all this, start in Mathew 1:16, or start by getting on your knees in prayer and ask Him into your life, and then start reading in Matthew! Here is a link https://www.blueletterbible.org/audio_video/popPlayer.cfm?type=nasb_n&b=40&c=1. Please use the skip forward button over the lineage details until verse 16.

  So many of us leave all the teaching up to our minister, pastor, or priest. We are farming out all the responsibility of our relationship to a third party. Your pastor is a teacher and hopefully is inspirational to you in this journey, but the journey is yours, and only you and God are responsible for your growth in this relationship!

  Imagine this, you are in marriage counseling, and you and your spouse go every week, and the counselor talks the whole time on what your marriage is supposed to be like and even assigns homework, but neither of you talks or reads the homework at home! But when there is no change in your relationship, you get mad at the counselor and find a new one, and begin to repeat the same patterns with the new one. That is just what people do with churches. They farm out their relationship with God to the church and never invest time or effort in the God they are trying to form a relationship with.

  So here is your chance to start being sincere with God and yourself. Click the Matthew link above first, then come back to this link below and start the Daily Bible Challenge with us and invest in your relationship with God. We are here daily and read one or two chapters a day, 365 days a year. Our goal is to read the whole Bible cover to cover in context. The “why” in that goal is to learn about our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the one who is the Christ, and invest in our relationship with Him! If you do this, your church wounds or apathy will begin to heal, or you will seek a new church that inspires you to grow in your relationship with God.

  Even three thousand years ago, people got lost in how to search for God and start a relationship with Him! They made up false gods that fit what they wanted god to be, but God already is what He is and will not change to fit your requirements. After all, if He had to change to fit you, would He really be big enough to worship? Click the link below to see how King Asa became inspired to seek a real relationship with the one and only God! I hope all this will inspire you to do the same!

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...
