Running with the wolves

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. II Chronicles 16:9 Unlike Asa, King Jehoshaphat took delight in the ways of the Lord. When a great multitude came against Judah from beyond the sea, Jehoshaphat along with all Judah, were afraid and fearful. He “set himself to seek the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout Judah,” II Chronicles 20:3. I see three things in his prayer as he is in the house of the Lord. 1 — He recognized who and what God was. He gave Him credit for being ruler ...

Have faith through grief

This year, a few of my sisters in Christ and I are reading through the Bible together in one year. I’ve done this before, but this time I am so blessed to have the company of my sisters in Jesus. Together, daily, we discuss the readings of the day. God’s Word has become so rich this time around. The fellowship of the believers is a gift from God and to be cherished. I certainly do! Our reading plan asks us to read one chapter each morning and evening from both the Old Testament and the New. One of the books is speaking to my heart deeply.
