This short book in the Old Testament is the first of two books named after women in the entire Bible. One may wonder why she is included in the Scripture.

Scripture Reading Challenge (#29)
The story of Samson is one of the incredible feats he performed by God’s Spirit. However, at times, it is difficult to understand what we can gain from these passages in Scripture that apply to us today. After reading about Samson’s life, we will be able to take away a better understanding of God’s workContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#29)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#28)
First John 4:1 reads, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” John continues with a litmus test for professing believers. Discernment is an essential part of the Christian life. Not everything that seems like it is from GodContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#28)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#27)
Living in the war-torn ancient near eastern lands was brutal. The daily life of an individual was undoubtedly harder than we have it today.

It was a way of discipliningContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#27)”

Transitions from one part of life to another is never easy. People are resistant to change and are quick to defend against change. Israel went through such a transition. After 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, an entire generation passed away. God raised up a new leader, Joshua, to take over where Moses leftContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#23)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#21)
The Israelites and now camping with God in the wilderness. The Lord is their neighbor, and not in the sense that there is a giant idol next door. Instead, the very real presence of God is sitting outside as a pillar of smoke by day and fire by night. God is no longer seen byContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#21)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#20)
Some people just have a hard time believing. No matter what God has done before, they still lack faith. The Israelites had recently witnessed ten plagues the Lord placed on the Egyptians but still murmured and complained that God and Moses led them into the wilderness to die. God will perform another miracle before their eyesContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#20)”
