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
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 … More Day Twelve -Getting Ready
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 … More Day Eleven – Prophet’s Doom
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 … More Day Ten – Hearing God; Going His Way
Leviticus 15 – 27 is the reading for today’s ninety day journey. As we look at Leviticus with all its commandments, requirements for holiness, laws for dealing with body sores, and skins rashes, and leprosy, sexual relationships, eating; the right kinds of animals, insects and fish to eat, etc. it seems like it would be … More Day Nine – I Am The LORD
We read today from Leviticus 2 – 14, and we see that God is holy. Lest anyone think that this is only an Old Testament teaching; think again, for the apostle Peter wrote: “But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, … More Day Eight – Be Holy
