2nd Chronicles 20 He was this close!



  It is the Lord’s day. What are you going to do with it? We will go to gather with our church family, and there will be much praise and worship, and of course, much fellowship! This is Palm Sunday, with Easter next weekend, we are overjoyed to celebrate Jesus' first choosing to die to pay for our sins, and then rising from the dead so we can too! There is life after death, but there is also a great life here as servants of Christ. Sharing this new life in Christ with others is what I live for; it is my calling to share this with you and to share The Daily Bible Challenge with you so that you can learn more about God and grow in a Saving Relationship with God!

  My little cat does not seem to want me to share this with you this morning, she is in my lap under my keyboard, reaching up and licking and gently biting my fingers as I type…LOL! She is full-grown and only about six pounds and thinks my lap is her bed. Well, she has managed to distract me enough to get a mention here, but we are here for The Daily Bible Challenge in 2nd Chronicles 20. We will read/listen to the account of Jehoshaphat, almost finishing strong. He gets closer than many of the kings we have been reading about. He seeks God first in a great battle (one no one but God had to fight). No, literally no man had to lift a finger; God arranged a supernatural victory!

  Click the link below and listen to the audiobook for yourself; it is about a six-minute read. If only he had sought God’s will in this final alliance, he would have finished strong in God’s plan, but alas, he failed in his last days. I hope I can finish strong in this life. I don’t care if my name is remembered, but I would like my faith and dedication to God not to be tarnished by failure at my end! What will you do about your legacy? Will you seek the Lord and then finish strong in your new life in Christ? If you have questions on how to start this new life in Chrost, please contact us via PM/DM, and we will get back with you shortly!

  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...
