emeraldeye added a text contribution Don't be Ridiculous!Scripture: 33 "Don't be ridiculous!" Saul replied. "There's no way you can fight this Philistine and possibly win! You're only a boy, and he's been a man of war since his youth." 34 But David persisted. David from the outset was a man of faith. This giant, this Philistine was seemingly from outside appearances too big an obstacle for someone like David who's years were few and size was small... Read more »

emeraldeye added a text contribution The Lord has given you this LandScripture: 9 "I know the Lord has given you this land," she told them. Observation: Joshua was very sure that the land across the Jordan River was being given by God. God had spoken to Joshua (in Chapter 1). It was a fulfillment of previous words that God had spoken to the people (In Moses time). Because Joshua knew that God was giving the land, the obstacles that he came up against were not a...

emeraldeye added a text contribution Our GPSScripture: 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Observation: It's first in seeking His will that He shows us what path to take. Application: We need to remember that without seeking first God's ways, we will be without a navigation device. It's like trying to find the way without a GPS signal. We need to hook up to God, seek his will, plug in the co-ordinates... Read more »

emeraldeye added a text contribution God is not NaiveScripture 2 But God isn’t so easily diverted. He sees right through all such smoke screens and holds you to what you’ve done.3 You didn’t think, did you, that just by pointing your finger at others you would distract God from seeing all your misdoings and from coming down on you hard?4 Or did you think that because he’s such a nice God, he’d let you off the hook? Better think this one through from... Read more »

emeraldeye added a text contribution They had a Fit (MSG)Jesus was eating and chatting at Matthew's house (a tax collector) and some of Matthew's friends (disreputable characters). He had his disciples with Him and I imagine them chatting casually and getting to know those they were eating with. The Pharisees were concerned about reputation, not about the people Jesus was eating with. "What kind of example is this from your Teacher, acting cozy with crooks... Read more »

emeraldeye added a link contribution There were Giants on the earth... The NephilimThe increasingly popular interpretation of the following passage is that it relates a story of angels interbreeding with the human race, and that this was a primary reason for God destroying most of humanity with the great flood. First of all, it should be pointed out that angels are not humans, they are quite different creations of God. Satan and the other angels are spirit beings, and simply cannot... Read more »
