Jesus saw a crowd chasing down a woman to stone her and approached them. "What's going on here, anyway?" he asked.
"This woman was found committing adultery, and the law says we should stone her!" one of the crowd responded.
"Wait," yelled Jesus. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Suddenly, a stone was thrown from out of the sky, and knocked the woman on the side of her head.
"Aw, c'mon, Dad..." Jesus cried, "I'm trying to make a point here!"
:) Mike here. I was sick this week and had to take a grace day, but I now I'm back and ready for more reading. I plan on making up the reading that I fell behind on when I next have free time, or possibly after the 90 days are over. We'll see. I know a lot of you are struggling to keep up, but guess what? We're closer than ever now! :) Day 26! We're almost a third of the way there! I kid you not when I say today;s reading has been one of my favorite days of reading so far! If you haven't read today's reading yet, you're in for a treat! :)
Ok, ok, ok, there is a certain part of the reading that I simply have to share with you all and have you all watch out for it. It says in ch. 18 of 1 Kings that Elijah tucked in his belt and ran ahead of Ahab and his chariots by using special strength that the Lord had given him. It says this nonchalantly, and it is very easy to skip over, but look at what this just said! Elijah was running faster than all of Ahab's specially bred horses all harnessed together! If you thought Flash Gordon was a cool superhero, you probably never knew about Elijah! He was one fast old man! Elijah, the Biblical superhero of the Bible. Anyways, that was my thought of the day, here, have a few questions!
- Before meeting the widow that baked him bread, how did Elijah eat when God sent him into hiding?
- When Baal didn't answer his followers calls to set fire to their offering, other than daydreaming, what had Elijah mockingly suggested their god was doing?
- In Micaiah's vision, the Lord asked who around to see who could entice Ahab to be lead to his doom. Who replied to the Lord, and what was his proposal?
- The first two captains with fifty men were burned when they tried to get Elijah. What did the third captain do that spared his life and the lives of his men?
- Why could you say, after reading 2 Kings chapter 2, that God frowns on people who make fun of old balding men?
1. What does Solomon request that the Lord do in response to the foreigners who pray in His temple? Answer their request. (8:41-4:30)
2. What did the Lord promise to do if Solomon would walk before Him as David did? To establish the throne of solomon's kingdom over israel forever. (9:4-5)
3. How long was Solomon's reign? 40 years. (11:42)
4. What idols did (King) Jeroboam set up for Israel? Two gold calfs (12:20)
5. Which king of Judah did right in the Lord's eyes? Asa (15:11)
