THE REAL MEANING OF LIFE

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_samuel/11.htm They sure had a way of getting their point across in those days. Remember in the Book of Judges when the Levite from Ephraim’s concubine was raped all night by the men of Gibeah and she subsequent died from the attacks? And the Levite cut her into pieces and sent her throughout the land to show the rest of Israel what the men of Gibeah had done? Now, the Ammorites are threatening to attack… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_samuel/9.htm And Saul answered and said, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the [f]tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?” – Saul, 1 Samuel 9:21 So he said to Him, “O [d]my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_samuel/8.htm “When you come to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and possess it and dwell in it, and say, ‘I will set a king over me like all the nations that are around me,’ – Deuteronomy 17:14 God knows all, and He knew Israel would eventually demand a king, so they could be like the countries around them. Why was this so bad? Because God is our King! As scripture… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_samuel/7.htm Moses was given strict instructions on how the ark of the covenant was to be built, the items that were preserved inside, who was allowed to carry it, to touch it, and where it was to be kept, in the Most Holy place. But all of that went to the wayside. After centuries, the children of Israel slowly turned away from God, and rather than praying and asking God for his advice on going… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_samuel/5.htm The Ark of the Covenant, or the Ark of God as it has been referred to in this book, is now in the hands of the Philistine. How were they able to touch and move it without perishing? I can only assume that since the ark is no longer in the hands of the children of Israel, it has lost much of it’s Holiness, that the Spirit of God has left the ark. The… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_samuel/4.htm I’ve watched a couple of documentarites that think Rome has the Ark of the Covenant hidden away somewhere, while others say that Israel has it safe and sound somewhere and just keep it hush-hush so it doesn’t spark a big search. Others say that when Israel was carried off to Babylon, that the Ark was hidden from the Babylonians in a cave, but no one remembers where it was hidden. I read about the… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_samuel/3.htm The human brain is a miracle. I’m not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but I’m sure there are physiologists who know exactly the different parts of the brain and what they are responsible for. But I doubt anyone knows how the brain does it. I’m not a mechanic, but I can describe how the motor oil in your oil pan gets to the top of your engine so it filters… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_samuel/2.htm I try to pray throughout the day. Even if it isn’t a kneeling down, head bowed, hands clasped prayer, anytime I recognize one of God’s blessing, I just take a second to say, “Thank you.”, and “I love you.” I also have much longer and more formal prayers, because I have so much to be thankful for. And I can safely assume that the blessings from God that I recognize, are likely about 1%… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_samuel/1.htm According to my assistant Alexa, the Book of Samuel was originally one book in the Hebrew Bible, but was separated into two books when it was translated into Greek, and also because it was quite long and exceeded the limitations of a scroll. And I have to beg forgiveness again, because the first two chapters of First Samuel should have been covered in the middle of the Book of Judges, but I failed to… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/ruth/3.htm Today’s combines are complex machines that cuts the wheat, beats the grain off of the head and ejects the straw out of the back onto the ground, winnows the debris, then dumps nearly pure grain into the hopper. It wasn’t that easy in the days of Boaz. Grain had to be beat by hand off the plant, then the debris, had to be winnowed, which basically involved women standing next to a large pile… Continue reading
