Embracing the blessing of the Lord
The blessing of the Lord in Numbers 6 includes all that he wants to pour out on his people. What does God want to give? How do we embrace it?
People of God, befriend the forsaken
What I learned late: How often God commits himself to defend the forsaken. How strongly he urges his people to befriend the forsaken.
Sometimes, intimate conversation with God is passionate and fierce.
It is God who has wronged me
When Job cried, “It is God who has wronged me!” he showed us: Sometimes, intimate conversations with God are passionate and fierce.
Defender of the forsaken – this is God
The Lord sees when the vulnerable are abandoned. He hears when the helpless cry to him. And he acts. Defender of the forsaken – this is God.
I AM the treasure you seek
Each time Jesus uses the name “I AM,” he offers a gem of insight into who he is as Lord. And his life affirms, “I AM the treasure you seek.”
Fear and love: When your world has changed
God taught them not to be driven by panic. He showed them the way of love. When our world has changed in frightening ways, their story can help us too.
Hear God’s heartbeat – live in his love
The night of Jesus’ betrayal, John heard God’s heartbeat! Come with me. Let's hear it too. Let’s draw close to Jesus and live in his love.
You have circled this mountain long enough
It may be in a month that’s little noticed when the earth moves under you. And God says, “You’ve stayed here long enough.” And something within you shifts.
Divorcing: When God does what he hates
Scripture shows: The Lord hates divorcing his people. Yet at times, he’s responded to nonstop betrayals by doing just that.
Recovering and treasuring the forgotten prayer
Why it's vital to treasure the forgotten prayer – that Jesus told us to pray, but our minds can’t grasp and our emotions can’t quite embrace.
