Day Thirty Two – The Cupbearer

Our reading for today begins in Ezra 8 through Nehemiah 10. We will be looking at Nehemiah today in our study. We are told that Nehemiah was a captive of Israel in Shushan the palace (1:1) of king Artaxerxes of Persia.  Nehemiah was the king’s “cupbearer (1:11).  This task was more than just simply carrying …

Day Thirty One – Kings, Inspiration, and Encouragment

We are now on Day 31 of our reading through the Bible in ninety days. I pray you are not only learning about God, His people, God's work with His people, His mercy and grace; but that you are also being blessed by the Spirit of God convicting you of your sin, and convincing you …

Day Twenty Nine – Revival

The Scripture reading for today is 2 Chronicles 5 - 17. One of the things you will notice about the Chronicles is that they maintain a fairly positive approach to the lineage of David, yet do mention their failures, and their turning from the LORD. This morning I took note of king Asa, and the …

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 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 Six – Standing Between

The reading for today's part of our Bible reading journey through the Bible is Exodus 16 through 28. Be blessed. It seems in the reading in early Genesis that Adam must have had a fellowship with God; walking with Him in the garden on a regular basis; before there was sin in the garden.  After …

Day Five – GOD Calls a Deliverer

Today's reading is from Exodus 3 - 15. From the death of Joseph we go to Exodus, showing us that death is not the end.  In Exodus we find that God hears the cries of the children of Israel crying for help.  He hears their cry, prepares a man from Egypt – one of their …

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 …

Day One – Genesis 1 -13

A month or so back I started encouraging the membership of Shiloah Baptist to read the Bible through in 90 days.  I have done it twice in previous years. The first time was in 2012 and I even wrote about each days reading on my blog Broken Pieces. I am cheating a bit with these …

The Just LORD Is In The Midst

"Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. Her prophets …
