Pray for Dave in Senegal: Leaving Tomorrow

By


I will be leaving at 3:00 AM for Senegal.

In addition to having all the posts for the Bible readings ready to go (I think they are all set up properly), I have set up a separate post to give anyone who is interested and willing to pray some information about the trip.

Of course, all of this information is pre-loaded. One thing I've learned on my Senegal trips is that things seldom go as we expect.

I have two prayers that I'd ask you to pray today, in preparation for the trip.

1. I am taking a whole bunch of equipment with me, especially a large solar battery. I am praying that TSA and the airlines won't be upset with me carry all this with me (my carry on back weighs 35 pounds!). I have several lithium ion batteries and you can't put those in your checked bags. I need that stuff with me in Senegal. Would you pray that this will get through?

2. We've been having a lot of problems around the Miller house. Plumbing issues. Car issues. Stuff that normally wouldn't be major but it is tremendously inconvenient when I am planning to leave the country. Would you pray that God would watch over my wife and my home while I am away?

"Battle Begins" February 9 Readings: Numbers 31-36

   Reading the Bible Chronologically in 2024 This year, instead of reading from Genesis to Revelation, we will read the Bible as the story flows, as it happened and was written. There are several plans out there and I have worked to combine them into a plan that lets the Bible tell its own story "as it happened."  Remember, the Bible is inspired, but not in the order the books appear in our Bibles.   The Old Testament is approximately 3/4 of the Bible, but we will give more emphasis to the New Testament, spending half the year in the Old Testament and half in the New.  Bible Readings :   Numbers 31-36 Background:    We wrap up our reading of Numbers today with another difficult reading. Chapter 31 tells of a war with Midian and then the journeys of Israel are recounted in detail. The boundaries of the Promised Land are spelled out - far larger than modern Israel. Then we read of the founding of the cities of refuge and the inheritance of Zelo...

He had great churches like Philippi and Ephesus, who brought him constant joy, who demonstrated the fruit of the Spirit and a passion for the gospel. He had the Bereans who searched the Scriptures to see if what he preached was true. He started churches in Thess...

This is the prayer that the Lord prayed the night before he died, pouring out his heart to the Father on behalf not only of his disciples but for all of us who would follow.
