In the US, we all feel VERY entitled to our thoughts and opinions, and we too often make ourselves free to share them – whether they be good or bad. And though the constitution may support our rights to do Continue reading Grumbling about Leaders (Num 21 & 1 Cor 10:9)
Hosea 2:6 is a favorite verse of mine because it demonstrates a principle of how God works: He will hinder our way to keep us from going the wrong way. Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns, and Continue reading Minding the Thorns (Leviticus 26)
I chuckled a bit when I felt the nudge to blog on Isaiah 31 because it, like my last post, is on not trusting in man. I was like, “Yes Lord, I see the theme!” Here is Isaiah 31:1, 3a Continue reading Woe: Trusting in Man (Isaiah 31:1, 3)
