Week 5 Bible Reading (Nov 15-19)

Monday:Judges 4:4-24: Judge Deborah:
Deborah was leading Israel. Israelites wants their disputes decided. 10,000 men went up to Mount Tabor under God's command,(also Deborah). All Sisera;s troops fell;(not a man left standing.) Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Hael. Barak came by in pursuit of Sisera, and Jael went to meet him. She showed them where he was. Sisera lay with the tent peg through his temple dead. Israelites pressed harder and harder against Jobin king of Canaan until they destroyed him. People know I care about them when I make them feel better. I give them praise, when they do something right; encouragement; I tell them; and build them up when they are down.


Tuesday: Judges 6:1-40: Gideon Becomes a Judge
God told Gideon he would save Israel. Gideon constantly asked for signs. Israelites got angry at Gideon when he tore down the altar of Baal and replaced it with the altar of God. Gideon gave a sacrifice to the Lord and did what the Lord commanded. When people tell me to do something, I do it the first time they asked me to do it. I follow God's will and his word. When making decisions, I think, "What would Jesus do?", most times I do the Godly thing, which shows obedience to God, others, and myself.


Wednesday:Judges 7:1-25:Gideon and the Midianites
Gideon felt like he couldn't beat the Midianites. He went back to camp and heard what the people said. Which encouraged him. He only needed to trust God. I need to trust god more with my friends. I want to do what they do, & I have to trust in God that not doing that is the right thing to do.

Thursday:Judges 13: 1-25: The Birth of Samson: 
The Isrealites made God mad. An angel came to a lady who was unable to give birth. The angel told her she would have a son. Also he told her don't drink any wine. I need more discipline in every part of my life. No one is perfect, and I am most definitely not. I need more discipline so I can be a better person. Also, be more respectful and become a better and stronger Christian.

Friday:Judges 14:1-20Samson’s Riddle
Samson wanted to marry a Philisten girl. He killed a baby lion with his hands. Samson gave his wife to one of his companions. I consider the wisdom of my parents very careful. They have the ability to judge correctly and follow the best action.

Monday: The Battle of Jericho: Joshua 5: 13- 6: 27 Joshua met a man and he was teh commander of the army of the Lord he told Joshua to take off his sandals becasue where he was standing was Holy. God them to march around the city for 6days, on the 7th day, march around the city 7times. When you hear the the priests sound a long blast on the trumpets, the army shall give a loud shout and the wall of the city will collapse and teh army will go up. They did just that and took city.  They devoted the city adn destroyed everything and everyone. They took Rebah and her family and placed them in a place outside the camp of Israel. They burned the whole city and everything in it. The Lord was with Joshua and his fame spreaded through the land.


Tuesday: Ultimate Consequences: Joshua 7:1-26 The Israelites were unfaithful and Lord's anger burned against Isreal. Joshua is telling some men to go any spy out Ali. He reported that they only needed 2 or 3 thousand soldiers b/c only a few people live there. So about 3 thousand went up, the men of Ali killed about 36 of them. They chased teh Isrealites from the city gate as far as teh stone quarries and stuck them down on teh slopes. Joshua said the Canaanites and other people of the counrty would hear about this a surround them and wipe their name from earth. Isreal had sinned so they got punnishes. Nesxt morning, Joshua had Isreal coem forward by tribes. All of Isreal stoned Achan and burned them. I have experienced a negaitve experience when I had to go on a new basketball team.

Wesnesday: The Longest Day: Joshua 10:1-15 Joshua asked God to make the sun stay still. God listened to him and God had never done that for any other human. God is so powerful. We'll never know what God is capable of because our human nature cant understand it. I know God is powerful, He does wonderful things everyday to people and for people.

Thursday: Joshua Warns the Leaders: Joshua 23: 1-16God had given rest to the Israelites and Joshua was old. Joshua was telling the Isrealites everything that God had done for them and he told them God was there since the beginning. Joshua told the Isrealties to be strong. I need to obey being strong. The devil can temp us to do bad things, but if you be strong and trust in the Lord, everything will be okay and work out. I try to be strong all the time because I know God has a purpose for me, and it's not being a slave to sin. If I be strong, I know I will have a great reward in the end.

Friday: Joshua's Last Words: Joshua 24: 1- 31:Joshua gathered the tribes of Isreal. Joshua told them about all God has done for them. Ho told them to love the Lord and get rid of the false gods. They decied they would worship the Lord. After Joshua talked to them, he died at 110 years old. You can look at the outcome of obeying God and decide if it was good or bad, and deiced what outcome you want.
