LIFE LESSON FOR TODAY, 2/25/14

GENESIS 8:22

“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and 
night shall not cease.”

 2 SAMUEL 23: 13

 Then three of the thirty chief men went down at harvest time and came to David at the cave
of Adullam.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT
God  told Noah and his family to come out of the
ark. Noah came and out the ark and built an altar 
unto the Lord.  God said that he would not destroy
the earth again. The earth will always have day and night. There are many scripture references to the harvest time in the Bible.  The Bible books  include Joshua 3, Judges 15, Proverbs 25, Jeremiah 50 
and 51, Matthew 13, and Revelation 14.        

LIFE LESSON FOR TODAY

I always thought that farmers exercise more faith 
than most people. They spend lot of money and 
man hours planting seeds and crops every year.    Some farmers pray a lot and others put their faith 
in the Moon, and the Farmer's Almanac. The web
website for the Farmer's Almanac  even tells the
farmers that their charts are based on historical 
data. "Other factors can also influence planting 
dates, including soil temperature, altitude and 
slope of land, nearby waters, and day length".

I try to be like the praying farmers. I try to rely
on God to bless me daily. I pray for Him to keep 
me accident free when I travel on the dangerous highways and to furnish me with food, clothing 
and shelter.

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)
