Wow! Can you believe we are already in the book of Judges?
The book of Judges is one of my favorite books…it reminds me of who we are today.
We seek God, we obey, and then we fall into the trap (comfort) of disobedience or partial obedience.
Why does partial obedience make us think everything will be okay? We begin comparing and compromising with the world around us and do what we think makes the most sense. Why is it that God is so clear with the children of Israel and with what He expects, yet they cannot seem to do it? To answer that question, I simply look in the mirror.
So far in our reading I am overwhelmed with God’s patience and love for us and the clarity with which He guides us and directs us.
What about you? What has God impressed upon your heart?
BLESSINGS of God's Love,

VACATION & BIBLE IN 90 DAYS
90 Day Bible reading on my vacation...I have sat on the patio each morning with my coffee and 90 Day Bible reading. We are on day 9 and are 9/10s of the way through Leviticus. I am always amazed at the depth and detail that God uses to communicate to us.
Why is listening and following through on what He asks so challenging? As we read the Levitical laws, we can see they were given to protect the people and keep them safe from disease. They were given to help them remember who their God is. The New Testament is written the same way for us. Here is hoping we can cling more to God and His ways, and less to the systems of the world.

BIBLE IN 90 DAYS
Ok, so we made it to day 5 and we are in Exodus! I love reading the story of Moses every time. It shows so much of God’s love for us and His patience for us. As I looked at the dialogue between Moses and God before Moses returns to meet with the Pharaoh, I observed how God uses many different ways to reveal Himself to us. My favorite verses are Exodus 14:13-14 “Moses answered the people, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still.” How easy is it to read these words, type these words, speak these words…yet how challenging it is to live these words! MY challenge for today is to not be afraid, but to be courageous, stand firm and know that God will fight for me. All I need to do is be still.
What about you?
