If there were to be a war in Israel next week and the following week, anyone who wanted to go and help rebuild Israel was able to do so - but it required you to leave everything and choose to go the minute you heard of the news, would you go?

Thought for Today: Monday August 29:

May YHVH Himself fill you with pure joy amidst any trials. May you understand that He is developing perseverance in you so you will be mature and complete, lacking in nothing. May you see your blessing in your battles. Instead of becoming self-aware and wondering why so many arrows are aimed at you, may you simply become a better warrior. May you lay hold of the generous amounts of wisdom YHVH has offered you in this place so that when it is all said and done, you are still standing.

The temple tax being collected in Matthew 17:24-27 was not part of God's Law, although it was loosely based on the census of Exodus 30:11-16. It was a man-made tradition instituted for the financial support of the Temple. There's nothing wrong it so long as nobody claimed it was a requirement of Torah, but Yeshua used the tax to illustrate a couple of truths about our relationship to him, to the Father, and to the world. As children of the King of Kings, we are not under the authority of any Law, yet out of love for him and his kingdom, we willingly subject ourselves to his commandments and even to those man-made traditions that aren't sinful.

King Solomon had 40,000 stables and 20,000 horsemen. This implies many more than 40k horses. Add to this breeding stock, training and support animals, etc.

1 Kings 4:32 says Solomon wrote 3000 proverbs and 1005 songs. There aren't nearly that many in the Bible. Was this just a big, round number for effect or are we missing a few volumes of his writings? Probably both, I think.

Do descriptions of Solomon's gold and armies represent accumulation of wealth and power despite great wealth? Would he have had much more if he had tried? How else to reconcile apparent disobedience to Torah with the descriptions of great wisdom?

"You will hamstring their horses" in Joshua 11:6 and 9 doesn't necessarily mean they totally crippled all the horses. It might have been a partial hamstringing so that the horses could be used for breeding and light work, but not for war. God wants his people to trust him, not their own skills or resources.

Joshua and the army of Israel in Joshua 11:7 no longer feared the Canaanites. They didn't hesitate to attack an enemy who appeared stronger because they knew God was on their side.
