2nd Chronicles 6



  Good Tuesday to you all, wherever this letter finds you! I look forward to Tuesdays, my darling bride has women’s Bible study in the morning, then that evening we have our family group. It is nice to have a place where you belong!

  I hope we have built a place where you feel like you belong here at The Daily Bible Challenge each day. We also hope this is a place for new believers and seekers, as well as those who have called themselves Christians for many decades. This morning, we have something for all of those people in chapter 6 of 2nd Chronicles, so let’s get to it!

  It seemed strange to me that Solomon would stand on something made of bronze in the temple, but then I noticed that it was a platform he had made, maybe for this very purpose. Not some other bronze appointment that had been made from God’s design for the tabernacle. To stand on any of those items would have probably been worthy of death! But Solomon had wisdom granted by God and, at this point, was staying strictly to God’s plan.

  There was something else that struck me as important in verse 33. It would seem that God had revealed to Solomon that someday people other than the Jewish people would be allowed to worship at the temple and become counted among God’s people…that would be us Gentiles! There is so much meat on this bone (The Old Testament) if you are willing to dig a little deeper!

  Now, here is a message for those who proclaim to be Christian: Do you really spend time in prayer and in the Bible? This is why the Daily Bible Challenge is for you also! This is a safe place to put your faith into practice, dig into God’s word for you, and start making it a part of your life. A place where you can ask questions of fellow believers and search together for the answers. A place with no other motive than to grow your relationship with God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. A place that will challenge you to put your faith into practice and share God with others, out of love, not judgment! Did you know we are to expect worldly ways from the unsaved? We are not to judge them for acting like the world, we are to love them into seeing there is a new life for them ahead, living with and for God. A real purpose to life that will leave them fulfilled at night, exhausted from serving but happy to get up and do it again tomorrow!

  If you want a life like that, please join us here daily, 365 days a year, and read the whole Bible a few chapters at a time. Get to know this Christ we Christians claim to follow! Together, we can crossover from knowing God’s word to being a doer of God’s word! So yes, the Old Testament is for the Jewish, but it is also for us as it foretells of the Messiah coming to deliver all of us who will confess and repent, and become doers of His words!

  Click the link below and listen for yourself…don’t trust me to do it for you, after all, I am just some stranger on the internet! We welcome your questions and comments via PM/DM, and we reply to each comment or question personally!

 
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...
