  Click on Title for Video Intro Monday, Judges Chapter 5 Judges 5  Verses 15-16 Mindy Strayer Verses 15-16: In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of heart.  Why did you stay among the campfires to hear the whistling for the flocks?  In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of  heart. THOUGHT There was much searching of heart. This sentence really struck me. Clearly it was God’s Will for his people to go out in battle and fight against the enemy nations. We have the advantage of knowing for certain because we are reading about Deborah hearing the command of the Lord and all that transpired after that Word was obeyed. Many Israelite tribes believed this Word of God and obeyed.  They went to battle, but there were some tribes that did not go into battle. They stayed back home. Home where they would be more comfortable, where they wouldn’t have to put forth any effort in helping the kingdom of God to advance, home where they would not ...

Click on title For Video Intro Monday, Joshua Chapter 20 Joshua 20 Verses 1-3 Delores Little Verses 1-3:  Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Tell the Israelites to designate the cities of refuge, as I instructed you through Moses, so that anyone who kills a person accidentally and unintentionally may flee there and find protection from the avenger of blood.” THOUGHT Can you see the compassion of God in this chapter?  What does that tell us for today and the time we are living in?  I felt the Lord showing me last night that our city of refuge is JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. We can say we have not murdered anyone, BUT, we have, Dear Ones.  It can be in our thinking or how we treat someone. We can be killing them inside by how or what we do or say to them.  But thanks be to God who has given us our Lord Jesus.  He took it all on the cross so we can freely come to our Father in Jesus Name and by the Holy Spirit leading us to be set free. JESUS CHRIST IS OUR CITY OF ...

These boundaries and descriptions of the Promised Land are very specific. God was telling Israel exactly what to do. This was the promise.  This was the Promised Land. How awesome that Moses led the people to it, and Joshua followed out the orders and established it. God gave these people just exactly what they needed. There was no excuse for disobedience.  And to this day, God is still giving us just exactly what we need. There are times in our lives that we feel we desire something or want something, and it is unreachable. Is it because we truly don’t need it and God does not want us to extend ourselves to acquire it? Today’s chapter might be a lesson on redefining our needs vs our desires. You say: “I can’t manage.” God says: “I will...
