Day 111 --- Judges 19-21 - Luke 16

Day 111 --- Judges 19-21 - Luke 16

I saw this verse in Luke and it popped right out.
13"No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
Sometimes I get wrapped around money and have to remember that I cannot put anything, including wealth, before Jesus. Jesus told a parable and the pharisees laughed at him. He told them, You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts.
In Luke it talks about a rich man and a poor man named Lazarus. The rich man showed no mercy to the poor and when they died the rich man went to hell. He begged for help but Abraham told him this is where he shall stay because of the person he was.

Sometimes I would judge the poor and the homeless, but now I think what would Jesus do? I want God to know that I care about those that don't have what I do.

Day 110 --- Judges 16-18 - Luke 15:11-32

Day 110 --- Judges 16-18 - Luke 15:11-32

I found out my husband will be gong to afghanistan for 7 months after my deployment. I want so badly to give up my faith but I feel God is testing us and myself. I am not going to stray.

Samson fell in love with a girl named Delilah. Delilah convinced Samson to tell her why he was so strong and then turned him over to the Philistines who eventually killed him.

In Luke Jesus tells a parable about a lost son. One of the sons went away and spent all his money. When he has poor and starving he went back to his father and begged for mercy saying he sinned against heaven and his father. The father was so happy he killed a fatten calf for celebration. The older brother was angry that the lost brother was getting so much glory for disobeying. The father told him, rejoice he was lost but now is found. I really enjoyed this parable and how happy we have to be if someone is evil in their life and turns to god, rejoice!

Day 109 --- Judges 13-15 - Luke 15:1-10

Day 109 --- Judges 13-15 - Luke 15:1-10

Manoah's wife was sterile and an angel of the Lord appeared to her and told he she was going to be pregnant and he named him samson. The lord blessed him. Judges 14 and 15 are about Samson's wedding and vengeance.

Jesus told two parables about repenting. He said if a woman lost a coin she would search and sweep the floors and then rejoice when she finds it. There is rejoicing in the presence of angels when a sinner repents. He told another parable about a lost sheep and there is more rejoicing with a sinner repents than when 99 persons dont repent.

Day 108 --- Judges 11-12 - Luke 14:25-35

Day 108 --- Judges 11-12 - Luke 14:25-35

Jesus explained the cost of being a disciple. He said that anyone who does not give up everything he has, cannot be a disciple. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Day 107 --- Judges 9-10 - Luke 14:1-24

Day 107 --- Judges 9-10 - Luke 14:1-24

Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD. They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites and the gods of the Philistines. And because the Israelites forsook the LORD and no longer served him, 7 he became angry with them. The Israelites once again cried out for help.


Jesus told a parable about a banquet. Instead of inviting friends, neighbors, rich people, family, invite the poor, crippled, blind. The rich will repay you but invite the others and you will be blessed.
1For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

Day 106 --- Judges 7-8 - Luke 13:23-35

Day 106 --- Judges 7-8 - Luke 13:23-35

Gideon defeated the Midianites and died in Judges 8. No sooner later did the Israelites prostitute themselves to the Balaas. They forgot everything God had done for them and failed to show kindness to the family of Gideon for all he had done.

I recommend reading Luke 13:23-30. The door will be narrow to the kingdom of heaven, he will deny those that deny him. There will be weeping at the door and where you will see Abraham, Moses and the prophets and you yourself will be thrown out. I dont want to be thrown out, i want to always know Jesus and I will never deny you.

Day 105 --- Judges 4-6 - Luke 13:1-22

Day 105 --- Judges 4-6 - Luke 13:1-22

Israel did evil in God's eyes so he handed them over to the Midianites. Deborah sang this song, this is the last verse.
"So may all your enemies perish, O LORD!
But may they who love you be like the sun
when it rises in its strength."
Then the land had peace forty years.
Once again, it is hard for me to grasp how someone can be so disobedient. Then i thought about the wrong I have done in my life. I have never worshiped another God, but I have broke his commandments and have done wrong in his eyes. He is a wonderful God to forgive me for all I have done, just as he keeps forgiving the Israelites when they repent.

Jesus said, unless you repent you will perish. It is so important for me to recognize my wrongdoings. After i say something I know Jesus wouldn't say, I immediately know if God approves, i feel it in my heart. Jesus compared heaven to a mustard seed that grows into a tree where birds perch. He tells alot of parables, but you have to imagine what he is trying to say. He healed on the Sabbath and It upset people because the 7th day was a day for rest. He told them they are hyprocrites because if you lead your ox or donkey to go drink water, what is any different from helping a women who has had a crippled back for 18 years.

Day 104 --- Judges 1-3 - Luke 12:32-59

Day 104 --- Judges 1-3 - Luke 12:32-59

The Israelites fight the remaining Canaanites. They broke the covenant with the lord and worshiped Gods. I think I have read over 20 times where God clearly tells them that he is a jealous God and not to have any God's before him. How many time does he have to say it and how many times does he have to prove who he is? He led them away from Egypt, gave them land and love and that is how they treat him. It makes me so confused why anyone would want to worship idols, don't they see God's love yet?


In Luke it said that where your treasure is your heart will lie also. This is so interesting because if my treasure is my faith and giving my life to Jesus, that is where my heart is. If my treasure is having a nice car, money, house, that is where my heart will lie. None of those material things matter once I have eternal life.

You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."

Day 103 --- Joshua 22-24 - Luke 12:1-31

Day 103 --- Joshua 22-24 - Luke 12:1-31

Joshua grew old and was buried in the promised land. He renewed the covenant before his death and explained to them that God was a jealous God and just as he promised and fulfilled everything he spoke, he could bring evil upon them in they disobeyed his commands and worshiped idols.
This is the book of Joshua.

Jesus said, whoever acknowledges god before men will be acknowledged before the angels in heaven. Whoever denies Jesus, will be denied in Heaven. Then the perfect passage is in Luke for me in my life. It talks about worrying. I tell my self all the time to have faith and god will take care of my worries. I pray every night and give god my worries, and usually i can fall asleep while im talking to him. I have to remember my faith and trust in him. He will not let me go without, he knows all my needs.

Day 102 --- Joshua 19-21 - Luke 11:29-54

Day 102 --- Joshua 19-21 - Luke 11:29-54

God gave Israel all the land he promised their forefathers and never let an enemy win in battle against them. Joshua 19 talks about the allotments given and where people are to flee under circumstances.

I love this verse in Joshua and the past books have talked about this same one. You would never put a lit lamp under a bowl or table, but rather on top of something. We have to let our light shine for Jesus and overcome the bad. I struggle everyday with evil and sin and it is no easier out here with my constant struggle. The way I shine my light and love for Jesus, shows what kind of person I am. I need to never let my darkness show and always remember to let it shine! God did so much for me, I am forever grateful for my life and the love he has shown me. Thank you Jesus, thank you! I promise to let my light shine!

Day 101 --- Joshua 16-18 - Luke 11:1-28

Day 101 --- Joshua 16-18 - Luke 11:1-28

Joshua talks about the division of the land and which clan will live in which part of the land.
I was wondering myself why we said the Lord's prayer growing up in church and i was so happy i found this verse to answer my question.
1One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
2He said to them, "When you pray, say:
" 'Father,[a]
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.[b]
3Give us each day our daily bread.
4Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c]
And lead us not into temptation.[d]' "


Whoever knocks at a door will be answered, those believe will receive. Blessed are those who hear the word of god and obey it.

Day 100 --- Joshua 13-15 - Luke 10:25-42

HUNDRED POSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joshua was getting old, but there was still so much land to be taken. Joshua divided the land and gave the inheritance to those that inherited.

In Luke it talks about how to have eternal life. We have love our god with all of our strength, soul, and mind and love your neighbors as yourself. I think that is what is bothering me so much about this war. Are we loving each other as we would ourselves? Are we having any type of mercy on each other? I often wonder if the terrorists knew god, how much things would change. I know we would not even be over here if they knew god's love and loved each other as themselves.

Day 99 --- Joshua 10-12 - Luke 10:1-24

Day 99 --- Joshua 10-12 - Luke 10:1-24

I heard this verse in church today and it was perfect for how my week was going. Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. I had some an anxiety filled week with this deployment, and knowing that i can tell him anything and give him my worries, makes me feel peace.

The Israelites had defeated and whose territory they took over east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Gorge to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern side of the Arabah.

Jesus sent out 72 people to go spread the word of God and heal the sick. He told them those that deny them, deny him, and those that deny Jesus, deny the father.
"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

Day 98 --- Joshua 7-9 - Luke 9:37-62

Day 98 --- Joshua 7-9 - Luke 9:37-62

In Deuteronomy Ai and Achan were destroyed and rocks were heaped on them after. The pile of rocks still remains today. The covenant was renewed and Joshua read the entire book of law written by Moses to all the people of Israel.

A boy's father came to Jesus with his son that was demon possessed Jesus healed him. He then made a remark that the son of god will be betrayed in the hands of men, and they had no idea what he meant. They were arguing about who will be the greatest disciple, Jesus picked up a little boy and said whoever Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all—he is the greatest.

Day 97 --- Joshua 4-6 - Luke 9:18-36

Day 97 --- Joshua 4-6 - Luke 9:18-36

Joshua called upon 12 men, one from each tribe. The flow of the Jordan was cut off before the arc of the covenant of the Lord. These stones are a memorial to the people of Israel forever. They are still there to this day. I would LOVE to go see this, i cant believe they are still there.


Jesus asked the disciples who people thought he was, they said some thought JOhn the baptist, Elijah, or an old Prophet. Peter told Jesus he knew he was Christ. Jesus told him not to tell anyone.

Day 96 --- Joshua 1-3 - Luke 9:1-17

Day 96 --- Joshua 1-3 - Luke 9:1-17

Joshua was told by god to lead the Israelites across the Jordan River to the land they were promised. He told them to be courageous and do not stray from the word because Joshua was put in charge of everyone. Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground into the land they were promised to their ancestors.

Jesus gave the 12 disciples the power to heal the sick and spread God's word. He sent them out to do these acts. Jesus fed 5,000 people with a few loaves of bread and fish, and some were left over. I still can't imagine this. It is amazing to me! God is so good!

Day 95 --- Deuteronomy 32-34 - Luke 8:26-56

Day 95 --- Deuteronomy 32-34 - Luke 8:26-56

Moses spoke the words of a song in the hearing of the people and told them they are not just idle words, they are your life. Take the word so you can have your children obey carefully all the words of the law. Moses died on Mount Nebo. Moses spoke words to the Israelites before he died. No prophet in Israel has rose up like Moses and knew God face to face. This is the book of Deuteronomy.

A man named Jarius came to Jesus begging for help because his daughter of 12 years was dying. Jesus told Jarius not to be afraid and to believe, she will be healed. Jesus healed the girl when she was dead and people were shocked.

Day 94 --- Deuteronomy 30-31 - Luke 8:1-25

Day 94 --- Deuteronomy 30-31 - Luke 8:1-25

I liked this verse in Deuteronomy because it talked about after you have been cursed for disobeying God's commands and turn back to god he will have compassion on you and restore your life. Moses was a 120 years old when he turned the leadership over to Joshua.God predicated Isreals rebellion against God and predicted the worship of other Gods


Jesus tells a parable about the seed being gods word and by staying on the path you are obeying god and when the seeds fall off the path it is it he devil taking them and creating evil. Jesus tells alot of parables along with the light on the lampstand. When Jesus was speaking to people it was a large crows and someone told him that his mother and brothers were here but could not get through the crows, Jesus told him that his mothers and brothers are those who follow the word. Meaning, we are all brother and sisters when we believe.

Day 93 --- Deuteronomy 28-29 - Luke 7:31-50

Day 93 --- Deuteronomy 28-29 - Luke 7:31-50

In Deuteronomy 28 it discusses the blessings they will receive if they follow the Lord's commands and the curses if they disobey.


In Luke Jesus was annointed by a sinful woman. She wept on his feet and wiped them with her hair. She poured perfume on him. Jesus forgave her sins because of her love and faith towards the lord.

Day 92 --- Deuteronomy 26-27 - Luke 7:1-30

Day 92 --- Deuteronomy 26-27 - Luke 7:1-30
Deuteronomy is about the tithes and commands from the Lord. The levites should shout to to Israel in a loud voice.


Jesus healed the sick, restored the blind, let the deaf hear, the crippled walk. I couldn't imagine the shock on peoples faces. I wonder how some did not believe. I wish i could of witnessed some of his miracles. God still works the same, he cures people everyday, i have to my open my eyes and see the miracles all around me.

Day 91 --- Deuteronomy 23-25 - Luke 6:27-49

Day 91 --- Deuteronomy 23-25 - Luke 6:27-49

God continues to give commands to the Israelites on how to live and what to live by. He said this, 5 If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married. I really wish America lived by those rules because my anniversary is on Sunday and I am away from my husband. I do thiink the year is so important for happiness and we spent 3 months out of that year away from each other.

Luke 6 has some great verses in it. It talks about how to love your enemies and do good to those who hate you. It also talks about judging. It says not to judge or you to will be judged. I really try and remember this every time i cast judgement out to someone that god does the judging not I.

Day 90 --- Deuteronomy 20-22 - Luke 6:1-26

Day 90 --- Deuteronomy 20-22 - Luke 6:1-26
The Lord continued with his commands and not to be afraid going into battle because the Lord will protect them. It continued talking about the first born and marriage violations.
In Luke Jesus assigned his 12 apostles. The Pharisees were waiting to see if Jesus would heal on the sabbath. He said, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?" He then healed a crippled mans hand, and the pharisees began to plot against Jesus.
Jesus said to his disciples,
Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22Blessed are you when men hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.

23"Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets.
24"But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
25Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
26Woe to you when all men speak well of you,
for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.

Day 89 --- Deuteronomy 17-19 - Luke 5:17-39

Day 89 --- Deuteronomy 17-19 - Luke 5:17-39

Deuteronomy continues talking about the commands God gives to the Israelites about following his word, offerings, courts, land, etc. This verse once again talks about an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Jesus healed a paralytic and the people were astonished. He told the man to get up, and he did. I love this verse that was in this passage. It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Jesus tells alot of parables in the bible but this one is a direct quote that really made me think. It is not the strong Christians I need to help, its the ones who don't know Jesus.

Day 88 --- Deuteronomy 14-16 - Luke 5:1-16

Day 88 --- Deuteronomy 14-16 - Luke 5:1-16

The lord commanded them to eat certain foods and to avoid the ones that are unclean. He told them about tithes and debt. I thought it was interesting that he said no one should be poor because they are to help one another. If only we followed the same concept today, maybe the world would be different. He then explained passover, feasts, judges, and first born animals.

Jesus called the disciples in Luke 5. He commanded simon to go back out fishing and simon said, master we have been out all day and have not caught anything." When they went back out they caught so many fish their nets almost broke and Jesus told them, now you will catch men.

Day 87 --- Deuteronomy 11-13 - Luke 4:31-44

Day 87 --- Deuteronomy 11-13 - Luke 4:31-44

Moses told them to follow God's commands and obey his word. They have seen God do miraculous sights for them. He rescued them from egypt, stop the egyptians in the red sea and Moses told them to trust and follow his word. He told them not to love another god because god is a jealous God. The chapter talked about the one place to worship and not loving any other god.
In Luke Jesus heals many and he drives out demons from people. People were amazed at his teachings because his message had authority.

Day 86 --- Deuteronomy 8-10 - Luke 4:1-30

Everything the Israelites had gone through was planned. This verse is amazing to me. 40 years they followed God and he tested them the whole way.
Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land that the LORD promised on oath to your forefathers. 2 Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. 3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. 4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. 5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.

Deuteronomy 10:12-22 is a very powerful verse explaining the strength of gods love and to fear him, walk in his ways, and serve him

In luke Jesus was tempted by the devil for forty days and forty nights and no matter what the devil said Jesus stood firm with the Lord. He told the devil not to test God.

86- Deuteronomy 5-7 Luke 3

86- Deuteronomy 5-7 Luke 3

Deuteronomy 5-7 talks about the commandments and how important they are. We are to love the lord with all of our heart, all of our strength, and with all of our soul. We are to fear God because he is a jealous God. The commandments are so vital to living a christian life. God knows that it is impossible for us not to sin and that is why he forgives. Everyday I have to ask for forgiveness and if you trust and obey you will receive. It is so easy to covet what someone else has or want what you don't have. God does not want us to be this way and covet our neighbors belongings. We are to love the lord for our blessings and learn to live the way he intended us to. I head a song today that is called judgement day. We are all acting like there is going to be no judgement day was one of the verses, is not that the truth?

Luke 3 is about John the Baptist. I remembered from the previous books about him getting thrown in prison but was not sure why. He denied Herod's baptism because of the evil things he has done. So Herod locked John in Prison and that is where he eventually was beheaded.

Day 84 --- Deuteronomy 3-4 - Luke 2:25-52

Day 84 --- Deuteronomy 3-4 - Luke 2:25-52
Deuteronomy talked about the division of land and then goes into obedience. I liked this verse, Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them. I can't forget everything i have learned and grown so far. I have to teach them to my children one day so that they may know God's love.

I can't believe i never heard this story in Luke before. Jesus was 12 years old and wondered into the temple away from his parents. The people were amazed at his astonishing answers. When his parents asked why he would run away he said,"Didn't you know i would be in the fathers house?" This astonished mary and these things she treasured in her heart.
