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 …

Day Twenty Three – A Heart Turned Away
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 …
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 Twenty One – The Rise and Fall of Kings and Commoners
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. …

Day Twenty – King Saul, and David
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 …
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 Eighteen – Life Decays Without God
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 …
Day Seventeen – The Peril of Disobedience
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 …
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 Thirteen – God’s Grace
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 …
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 …
