Kings 18:20-24...36-39

20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.

21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:

24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.

36  And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.

37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.

38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The Lord, he is the God; the Lord, he is the God.

Sunday re-Set + Rental Project

 

Proverbs 31:25

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come." 

Strength: An inner power and firmness of character, not just physical force.

Dignity: Self-respect, honor, and a calm, noble way of living.

Laugh at the future: Trusting God so much that she feels no fear or worry about what will happen tomorrow. 

Part of a famous chapter in the Bible describing an ideal, noble woman.

Focuses on character, hard work, kindness, and wisdom rather than outward beauty.

Shows that true value comes from honoring and fearing God.

Exodus 16:1-4

16 Then the whole community of Israel set out from Elim and journeyed into the wilderness of Sin,[a] between Elim and Mount Sinai. They arrived there on the fifteenth day of the second month, one month after leaving the land of Egypt.[b] 2 There, too, the whole community of Israel complained about Moses and Aaron.

3 “If only the Lord had killed us back in Egypt,” they moaned. “There we sat around pots filled with meat and ate all the bread we wanted. But now you have brought us into this wilderness to starve us all to death.”

4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Look, I’m going to rain down food from heaven for you. Each day the people can go out and pick up as much food as they need for that day. I will test them in this to see whether or not they will follow my instructions.

After Church and lunch the Mr and I worked more on rental house back porch area & yard...

Another group text notice will be sent in a couple of days. Mr has set the final date of September 1st for renters to have carport and surrounding area cleared off...

Now that 90% off yard is cleared & cleaned I finally got the mowing done...next year I want to redo the yard, filled and with new dirt, grass seed.
