Scripture Challenge - Day 15
Jonah 1, 2, 3 and 4
Uh huh, Jonah...you can't run, you can't hide. LOL
He tried, oh he tried...then prayed himself out of near death, because the Lord heard his prayers.
THEN, Jonah decided he should probably obey the Lord's instructions to go into Nineveh to deliver His message to the people there.
It took 3 days, because of the size of the city, but instantly the people, including the King, listened and obeyed the message given to them through Jonah. A message of humbling themselves and fasting (people and animals), and focusing completely on halting any evil or wrong doings.
Guess what? Through that repentance, God forgave them. He halted the plans for destruction, and forgave them.
They turned to him and worshiped. They praised and sacrificed in repentance.
If they can give up everything...even the King took off his robes and wrapped in burlap! Can you give up just a little time everyday to invest on building a relationship with God? All He wants us to do is come to Him and ask.
Blessings....xoxo

Scripture Challenge - Days 12 and 13
Hi!
Well, I'm playing catch up tonight. I was at my in-laws for the night last night and could not get my phone to connect to the network. My Bible plan is on my phone, therefore, I didn't know what last night's assignment was. So, read days 12 and 13 tonight.
Day 12 - Exodus 16:1-35
This is the story about Moses explaining to the people of Egypt when they fled into the wilderness, that the Lord would not let them go hungry and would supply their needs, if they obeying the orders given to them through Moses. The instructions were laid out as to teach them the lesson that on the seventh day the Lord was to rest, and they were to rest and not come from their tents. It was a day to worship the Lord. To prove this to them, he gave them double the quail and bread on the sixth day so that they would have enough prepared to last them day 6 and 7. That time instead should be used to worship Him.
Day 13 - Numbers 21:4-9
Again another part of the story with the people of Egypt that fled to the wilderness with Moses complaining about the food and drink sent and being tired of the "manna" they had been provided. So, since they continued to complain, this was a sin against the Lord and he sent snakes...Yikes! Moses prayed for the people for the snakes to be taken away, and the Lord gave Moses instructions on creating a replica. If they are bitten, the ONLY thing they are instructed to do is look at the bronzed snake and they will be healed.
How much more proof were they looking for? How much more proof are you looking for that He exists, and lives, and has a plan for every day of our lives?
Believe, have faith, be still....watch the miracles of God present themselves to you!

Scripture Challenge - Day 11
Today's reading Exodus 12:1-30
This is the story of how Passover began and is explained in detail, through Moses, the instructions from God.
Interesting that this chapter was selected because to be honest, I just learned the meaning of how Passover was started a few months ago. I was glad this chapter was selected in the scripture challenge so that I could spend more time with the story.
I encourage you to read this story as well, if it's something that didn't resonate with you when you when you first learned of it, or if, like me, you never really received the teachings of this particular story in the Bible.
It's very interesting and I'm looking forward to future readings in my challenge, as I assume that this will lead into the fact that since the Lamb of God eventually was born into human form and was sacrificed for us, there was no longer the need to a lamb to be sacrificed with his blood spread over and down the doorways to the homes in Egypt.
We Christians are always protected by the blood of Jesus and in that blessing, will receive "Passover" as night falls.
Till tomorrow....xoxo

Scripture Challenge - Day 10
Today's reading Amos 5:1-27
Wow...this was a powerful chapter to me. So descriptive that it made me afraid for the people not worshiping our Lord.
Verse 6: "Come back to the Lord and live!..."
Verse 15: "Hate evil and love what is good..."
Certainly the negative impact of not following His command sounded scary to me!
For example, verse 19: "In that day you will be like a man who runs from a lion - only to meet a bear. Escaping from the bear, he leans his hand against a wall in his house - and he's bitten by a snake."
That was the message being given to the people of Israel who had turned to serve pagan gods. Not good, people!
I will make sure everyday to worship the One true God, our Father in Heaven.
Make no mistake. I 100% get that He is the only light out of the darkness, and the only pure joy.
