Day Thirty – The Peril and Power of Pride; Without Prejudice
It is written in Proverbs, “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18). Pride even gets into the hearts and minds of the best among us; and that is never more clear to me than when I was reading in 2 Chronicles 18 – 31 this morning. I read of …

Day Twenty Seven – Priest and King
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]. …
Day Twenty Six – GOD Deals With Evil In His People
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 …

Day Twenty Two – When Sin Finds You Out
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 …
Day Nineteen – GOD Is Not Contained in a Box
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 …

Day Sixteen – Take Possession
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 …
Day Fifteen – Be Strong and Courageous
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 …
Day Fourteen – The Hanging Tree
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 …
Day Twelve -Getting Ready
The Scripture reading for today is Numbers 28 - Deuteronomy 5. The tribes of Rueben, Gad, and half tribe of Manasseh are given the land on the east side of Jordan; after they vow for the military men to cross over and fight for and with the rest of their brethren. Things are settled concerning …
Day Eleven – Prophet’s Doom
The prophet of God was to be faithful to God, God’s Word, and to God’s people. The prophet of God was to speak the truth, speak what God said, and on the immediate surface of things it almost seems that Balaam was faithful in those things. However, What was he doing going with the enemy …
Day Ten – Hearing God; Going His Way
Reading Numbers 1 - 14 today, we find an accounting; and there; probably by some people’s accounting; is little grace. However, I find that assessment of “little grace” hard to accept. It is, afterall, by God’s grace that He gave us Law. The very first sentence of Numbers is, "And the LORD spake unto Moses …
Day Seven – To the Glory of the LORD
Reading for today is Exodus 29 through Leviticus 1... When Moses was on the Mount receiving these instructions and heavenly designs the people down below were growing restless, beginning to complain; and due to this began crying out for Aaron to build them a “god”. They have previously said, “All that the LORD says we …
Day Four – Until The Time Is Right
There is a great blessing in reading through the Bible in a more speedy way. It is exciting, challenging, and enlightening. It also seems to help put it all together into order. Our reading this morning covers Genesis 40 – Exodus 2. We have gone from the days of creation; Adam and Eve in the …
