David, as a shepherd boy, had a heart for God. While he was doing the task of taking care of the family flock and herds he meditated upon God and His Word; writing and singing songs [Psalms]. He would become angry when ever he heard an enemy or anyone defy the name of Jehovah [YHWH]. … More Day Twenty Seven – Priest and King
The reading for today is 2 Kings 20 – 1 Chronicles 7. Blessings as you read. In reading through the Bible in 90 days there are passages which, to be honest, I sometimes find it difficult to read; and today’s reading was no exception. I am speaking particularly of 1 Chronicles 1 – 9 which … More Day Twenty Six – GOD Deals With Evil In His People
The Scripture reading this morning covered 2 Kings 7 – 19. There was mention of many kings. Still none of the kings of the Northern kingdom “pleased the LORD”; only one got close yet not sufficient and that was Jehu. There were some of the kings of the Southern kingdom who “pleased the LORD”, but … More Day Twenty Five – Worshiping the Good Thing
In the reading today – 1 Kings 15 – 2 Kings 6 – we begin the reading of a king of Judah by the name of Asa (1 Kings 15), and it is said of him, “Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father” (15:11). We … More Day Twenty Four – Prophets and Kings
David, even though he had committed adultery against Uriah the Hittite, and had murdered him is still the standard of a man with a heart for God. The thing which makes a difference is that he did have a heart for God. He loved God, and wanted only to glorify Him. It is seen in … More Day Twenty Three – A Heart Turned Away
The title above comes from the Law of Moses (Numbers 32:23); however, as I read the chapters from 2 Samuel 12 – 24 that is what they were dealing with in king David. The reading today included 1 Kings 1; and Solomon’s coronation as King of Israel. As we read chapter 11 yesterday it showed … More Day Twenty Two – When Sin Finds You Out
The reading today was from 1 Samuel 30 thru 2 Samuel 11. Quite interesting reading of wars, strife, the death of one king and his family; the rise of a new king, and his fall. We see battles where people are killed. People of Israel are destroyed by foreign kings, and by their own people. … More Day Twenty One – The Rise and Fall of Kings and Commoners
Reading today is 1 Samuel 17 – 29. I will do a little backing up to chapter 15 for study purposes, and a reminder of King Saul’s sin. Saul began his reign as the chosen, anointed king of Israel, chosen by God. His heart was right, humble, and honorable. He seemed not to be grasping … More Day Twenty – King Saul, and David
We have some Christian leaders today saying to us, that God is bound to answer our prayers, answer our demands, and so forth; maybe not in so strong a fashion but many times in more subtle ways. One thing we need to realize as Children of our GOD is that God is obligated to us … More Day Nineteen – GOD Is Not Contained in a Box
Today’s reading is Judges 14 – 1 Samuel 3. For me it was and is a very rewarding experience; as it usually is reading the Word of God. Reading the Judges chapter 14 through 21 you will find a common phrase in it in the latter chapters. “In those days there was no king in … More Day Eighteen – Life Decays Without God
Today’s Scripture reading is Judges 1 – 13, we read of Joshua’s death, and how the people anger the LORD through their worship of foreign gods; which actually begins by departing from GOD. Disobedience is the first step of departure from GOD; “And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of … More Day Seventeen – The Peril of Disobedience
Today’s reading for our 90 day journey is Joshua 12 – 24. Let us look back a moment to chapter 10 verses 12-14 You will note that Joshua spoke to the LORD, and gave command for the sun to stand still. Now from a human point of view that would be impossible; but our God … More Day Sixteen – Take Possession
The reading for today is Deuteronomy 33 – Joshua 11. Moses gives the last words to the Israelites with words of encouragement. He is also given a view of the Promised Land before he dies and is buried by the LORD. If you will remember he is not allowed; neither was Aaron; to enter the … More Day Fifteen – Be Strong and Courageous
In reading Deuteronomy 19 – 32 today we read these verses, “And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him … More Day Fourteen – The Hanging Tree
Remembering that God is gracious should not be too difficult of a matter. However, when we as human beings and as Christians get side tracked from the obvious, ie., God’s grace; it is generally due to blessings we have received. We tend, at times, to be side tracked, and caught up in the blessing rather … More Day Thirteen – God’s Grace
