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)”

Does your family have any traditions that are times of celebrations? More than likely, you do. It’s a way that we stay connected to our heritage. There are some traditions that probably should be changed, but there are those traditions that are so rich in meaning that it would be detrimental to a groups history byContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#19)”

One of my favorite stories is the Chronicles of Narnia. In The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, the children are talking about the Christ-like figure, Aslan the Lion. The conversation goes, “Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion.” “Ooh,” said Susan. “I’d thought he was a man. Is he quite safe? IContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#18)”

What is your biggest fear? For a lot of people, it is the fear of public speaking. When God called Moses, his lack of ability to speak became a point of contention.

In the middle of these tragic events, God would raise up a deliverer. The Story of the Bible now introduces us to Moses, the man God would useContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#16)”

Have you ever had to keep a surprise hidden but couldn’t keep it secret because you were so excited to share it?

God does not point out our sin to laugh at us or scorn. Instead, he reveals our issues so that we can deal with them appropriately. That is, to be cleansed and forgiven. In the story of Genesis, the brothers need to make a second trip to Egypt. They will face their sin one wayContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#14)”

I grew up with the saying, “be sure your sins will find you out” (Numbers 32:23). And, found out that it’s true. If we think that we can escape being noticed when we do something wrong or when we neglect to do the right thing, we are only fooling ourselves. We will reap what we sowContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#13)”
Scripture Reading Challenge (#12)
All of us can testify to the fact that there are good days and not so good days. Joseph, for awhile, had such an experience of life’s merry-go-round that would break the strongest of souls. Still, through it all he was faithful. God blessed Joseph’s faithfulness more than he could imagine. His blessings were soContinue reading “Scripture Reading Challenge (#12)”
