"When the seven years of plenty which had been in the land of Egypt came to an end, and the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said, then there was famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, 'Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, you shall do.'" Genesis 41:53-55 NASB Recently I had some people over for supper. And when asked, "What can we bring," I immediately knew what I wanted. Bread! It's funny, but bread is what I most look forward to in a meal, yet I am ... Read the Post...
Clarity from a Moment with Jesus
[The following is a revised copy of the original post.] They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.” Mark 8:22-25 Have you ever held a question for which the answer never came? Have you found yourself waxing and waning ... Read the Post...
Momma Says #4 — The Lord on High
“Greater than the roar of many waters— The mighty breakers of the sea— The LORD on high is majestic. LORD, your testimonies are completely reliable; Holiness is the beauty of Your house For all the days to come.” Psalm 93:4-5 I recently re-watched The Impossible and was given a glimpse into the incredible power and destruction of a tsunami. Based on a true story, the family in the film is caught off-guard by the colossal surge of waves from a tsunami that hit Taiwan in 2004. In only seconds, the waves ravaged and ripped apart the young family. The unstoppable currents flung them about debris causing injury ... Read the Post...
Momma Says #3 — When Flood Waters Rise
The floods have lifted up, O Lord, The floods have lifted up their voice, The floods lift up their pounding waves. Psalm 93:3 In 1961, the Shirelles came out with the hit song, “Momma Said.” The most memorable lyric being, “Momma said there’ll be days like this, there’ll be days like this my momma said.” And this momma can attest some days we’re “Walking on Sunshine,” and others we just wish we could find a “Bridge Over (our) Troubled Waters.” (Yes, I know these are oldies, but you should look them up sometime.) I am praying that there will be many, many sun-shiny days for you throughout your life. However, we know there will ... Read the Post...
