And now I'm one of them. I plan on posting my daily journal as I read thru My Upmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers. Poetry will probably show up. Random tangents or "rabbit holes" will also appear. But I don't expect really expect anyone to read this. There are too many interesting blogs out there to bother with this one. Go read one of them.
Oh and the blog title is a total play on my name...Mikki Post~~Mikki's Posts....ha, ha. Get it? Yeah I didn't think it was that funny either.
Till tomorrow, God bless and good night.
Leviticus 26 is a good read. It's the blessings and punishments the Lord details to the Isrealites for obeying or disobeying the decrees and laws handed down at Mt. Sinai. First God lays out the blessings and they are wonderful. Abundant crops, peace, victory over enemies, God dwelling and walking among the people...the first 13 verses are brimming with promises of rewards for obeying God's decress and law. Then, dude, there's a lot of punishments. And yes, they are terrible. The consequences of disobeying God are numerous and destructive and, quite frankly, depressing. Four times, in verses 18, 21, 24 & 28, God says that He will punish their sins 7x over. That's heavy. But all this despair is not without hope. Starting in verse 40 God shows the way out of disobedience and wrath....confess their (the Isrealites) sins, humble their uncircumcised hearts and pay for their sins (by the sin offering set up earlier in the Law). THEN God says He will not reject them,...
