Joshua 21 (April 24th)

Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasture

What are pasturelands and why does Joshua 21 repeat it numerous times?  In this chapter, Joshua was to allot the Levites land to dwell along with their pasturelands for livestock. According to wikipedia: "Pasturelands in the narrow sense are enclosed tracts of farmland, grazed by domesticated livestock, such as horses, cattle, sheep or swine.  The vegetation of tended pasture, forage, consists mainly of grasses.  Pasture is typically grazed throughout the summer."

In this modern day, we do not go around allotting  groups of people land, however, God has allotted us different places where we can go and spread the gospel.  Many of the different places include: your job,  school, waiting for an appointment at the doctor, emergency room, dentist, barber, etc.  Because the mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life (Prov 10:11), we need to go and spread the good news to all so they too can have life.

Romans 2:7 (April 23rd)

Quiet Time Nugget:

What a wonderful promise: "to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, He will give eternal life".  Seek God, serve Him, praise Him, love Him - why not? He has given you everything you have and more.  We are so ungrateful sometimes that we do not take the time to give honor where honor is due.  He has offered us eternal life with no sorrows and no pain - an offer that no one else can give you.
Even if you are feeling down and the whole world is crumbling around you, take the time to thank Him for everything.  Do well and seek his glory and honor - you'll be so rewarded that you will not be able to find the right words to describe all the blessing you are going to receive.

Joshua 20:9 (April 23rd)

Quiet Time Nugget:

God told Joshua what cities to designate to the different group of people and he distributed them as God told him. God still continues to tell us the different places to go to.  Has God told you to go somewhere or do something and you have not done it?  What are you waiting for?  God gives and takes away but when He gives you something or tells you to go somewhere lets obey.  He will never abandon.  He will provide everything you need.  We do not have to go to other countries to preach the gospel maybe it is your neighbor or family member that needs to hear the good news.  Take the time to ask God: -- what do you want me to do? -- wait -- then do it!

Romans 1:17 (April 22nd)

Quiet Time Nugget:

Are you righteous or unrighteous? Wow, that is a tough question!  The Bible says that if you are righteous, you shall live by faith but if you are unrighteous, you suppress the truth.  I want to live a righteous life.  I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and on the 3rd day He rose from the dead and is in heaven preparing a place for me.  Take the time in this life to know Jesus.  Accept Him as your Savior and read His word to learn more about Him.  God is wonderful.  Praise Him.  Trust in Him.  Believe me, I have put my trust in the Lord and many of my everyday chores seem a lot lighter and I have joy in Him.  Live by faith not by sight!

Joshua 17:14 (April 22nd)

Quiet Time Nugget:

Have you ever come to the realization, like Joshua did, that the Lord has been blessing you all along?  We take for granted those things and people that make our lives easy.  Many times we just don't have time to stop (and smell the roses).  Lets take sometime today to 'STOP' and thank God for ALL the blessings we have received.  As I sit here meditating on His word I want to personally thank God for my blessings.
(Thank you Lord because I woke up and I was able to see, walk, talk.  Thank you for my morning coffee and toast. Thank you for all the clothes in my closet - what am I going to wear? Thank you for my car and protect me from all the 18-wheelers that zoom by me or behind me very fast.  Protect me from any "deer" that might cross my path). As you can see there are so many and so I will stop typing now and continue thanking the Lord for all my blessing since all along the Lord has blessed me and will continue.

Acts 28:15 (April 21st)

Quiet Time Nugget:

When was the last time you thanked God.  In the book of Acts, Paul took the time to thank God.
There are so many things to be thankful for.  From the moment we wake up until we go to sleep, we have numerous opportunities to thank God.  If it wasn't for Him, we would not be here.  If it wasn't for Him we would not have all the wonderful things.  Yes, we all go through illnesses, loss, grief and many other sad things but once we pass them, they make us strong.  Take the time to thank God and take courage.   Courage will allow you to do the next thing in life - those things you have been putting off.  Just by having the courage to place your trust in Him is the beginning to many amazing things to come.

Joshua 15:19 (April 21st)

Quiet Time Nugget:

• When was the last time you asked God for a blessing?
• When was the last time you noticed all the blessings you receive everyday?
•  Have you actually noticed all the blessings that you already have?  

Wow, it is amazing how much we are blessed everyday! As I was meditating in this verse I began to thank God for everything.  I just could not stop because when I thought I was done, something else would come to my mind.  We have so many blessing that we take for granted the everyday things that make us who we are.
Take the time to thank Him for all the blessing, big or small.  And if you need for Him to bless you - just ask Him.  He is a God of love who wants to give you blessings.
