August 25, 2020 Bible Study Better To Listen To God Today Than To Live With The Regrets

I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Lamentations 1-2.

Lamentations is difficult for me.  Instead of warning people to change their ways to avoid God’s judgement it expresses the sorrow of those who have experienced that judgement.  Of course, that is somewhat the point of this book, sin will eventually lead us to a place where our suffering will be intense.   Additionally, there is a secondary point, or perhaps it is the main point and the previous is the secondary one.  If God destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, and devastated the people of Israel, what will He do to us if we do not listen to His commands?

February 25, 2020 Bible Study — Not Being Offended When People Question Our Motives

I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Numbers 32-33.

The first time the tribes which settled east of the Jordan River were misunderstood was when they requested that land as their inheritance in the Promised Land.  Moses thought the request was because they did not want to have to face the people’s living on the other side of the Jordan.  They quickly made it clear that they were perfectly happy to cross the Jordan to fight with their fellow Israelites, they just did not want to live there.  However, the tribes desiring to settle east of the Jordan did not get defensive and angry.  They understood why Moses would question their motives and quickly acted to reassure him that they were not trying to weasel out of crossing the Jordan.  We should be prepared to follow their example.  When others have acted in bad faith, and others have acted in bad faith, we should not be surprised, or offended, if people question our motives.
