Bible in 90 Days, Day 11
Scripture: Numbers 14:20
The Lord replied, “I have forgiven them, as you asked.
Observation: Moses respectfully asked for forgiveness of those God initially said He would strike down. And God decided to offer forgiveness.
Application: The passages in the Bible where one person respectfully prays to God about forgiveness for others or asks God to change his mind about destroying people and God has mercy have always made an impression on me.
All those examples make me wonder for whom I need to be more diligent in praying and also, for what I should be more diligent about praying. How would our lives be changed if more of us really, really prayed, more often and more respectfully to God? I just wonder.
What else would be changed if we just prayed, all of us? My guess is that really big stuff would change.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for the answer to so many of our prayers before we even uttered a word in the gift of your son, Jesus Christ. He is the ultimate answer to prayer.
And thank you Lord for this reminder that you care and you listen and you want to hear from us. Please show me where I need to pray more. And when those things pop into my mind, don’t let me just stop at thinking about them. Please remind me to pray about them right then.
Thank you, Lord for your grace and your unending love. And thank you for your forgiveness of my grumbling, which can sometimes be just like those who were wandering in the desert. I am sorry.
PS: As my weekly check in, yes, I am up to date on my reading.
I have read through the Bible in 90 days several times before, but this time I am actually reading every single day and I really like doing it this way. (In the past I would spread it out over the week howver it would fall.)
How about you? Please swing over to the Bible in 90 Days weekly check in post and let us all know so we can cheer and pray for each other.

I am a newbie.. new with the internet (other than email)… I have been reading blogs and commenting! I am on target with my reading! I must admit, I read ahead this evening… couldn’t stop. I seem to re-read (myself) the Commandments over and over again… Exodus 20:5
“Do not bow down to them or worship them. I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God. I punish the children for the sn of their parents, I punish the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who hate me.”
and
Exodus 34:7
“I continue to show my love to thousands of people. I forgive those who do evil. I forgive those who refuse to obey. And I forgive those who sin. But I do nt let guilty people go without punishing them. I punish the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren for the sin of their parents.”
Help me to understand… It is my interpretation that innocent children with disabilities (autism, mental retardation, etc) are from a punishment from the LORD. Either I am guilty, my mother or father or my grandparents… Help me to understand…
Good afternoon everyone,

Hope you all are well!
In Christ,

I prefer a Bible specifically for this purpose which I have that gives a daily reading from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and a Proverb each day for each of the 365.
I am interested to see if many like the 90-day reading of the entire Bible. At my age, it’s a little TOO fast for me though.
