Many people find the reading of Scripture difficult because the timeline jumps around. The events recorded in the   Bible don’t follow a historical sequence. The Chronological Bible was created by its authors to help alleviate confusion.

Throughout the coming year, I will be presenting a weekly schedule that mostly follows the Chronological Bible’s  reading plan. Toward the conclusion of each week’s readings, I will post a blog in the Ezine and on the church’s website to offer any observations and insights that come to my mind.

I welcome anyone who wishes to join me in this spiritual discipline. I pray, in advance, that your life will be enriched by the experience.                                             

Blessings,

Being Different….Is That A Bad Thing?

     The thirteenth chapter of Numbers records one of the few stories in this Old Testament book. The tale is told that Moses sent twelve spies into the land God had promised Israel. Indeed, the land was as God had told them‒‒a land flowing with “milk and honey.” The spies even brought back with them samplings of grapes, pomegranates, and figs.
However, ten of the spies gave a less than hopeful report. This pack of ten told Moses that the people who occupied the land were too numerous and strong to be evicted by the small Israelite army. Amongst other things, the ten spies said, “We saw there the Nephilim…” (Numbers 13:33, CEB). The Nephilim were a folkloric group of giants (see Genesis 6:1-4).
