God Gets It Right!

Repetition! Repetition is needed, because we forget what God has told us. We are frequently told to remember. Our worship is about who He is and what He has done. Both require us to remember. We repeat facts about His glorious being, and He powerful, loving, just acts. My prompt, this time, calling me to…

For three years Jesus healed, cast out demons, raised the dead, calmed the seas and winds, walked on water, made wine out of water, and more. Wouldn’t you think that was proof of His deity? Yet. When He entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey (fulfilling Zechariah 9:9), He was joyously greeted by the crowds. Hosanna! BLESSED…

My husband and I have somewhat different routes for our walks, but we meet at the turn-around spot. Sometimes, when we are starting out, I say: “Meet you on the other side.” Every time I say that, I think of eternity. We will all walk through the door to eternity. The question is: “What is…

Are you in an awful spot? Probably not as bad as Jeremiah’s! Read Lamentations 3:1-20. What did Jeremiah do? What should we do? This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope.
