Be thankful and bring praise

And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. II Chronicles 20:29 The text we are looking at has that interesting little word “when” in it. This small word of contrast tells us something happened before, and something else is about to happen; kind of like cause and effect. All the kingdoms of those countries were overcome by fear, when (or after) they heard the news of how the God of the Hebrews had worked on behalf of the Jews and given them victory. The people of Judah began to worship the ...

Moms: Honor your children and husbands this Mother’s Day

Good morning, dear friends! What a lovely, spring day in May. The month we celebrate so many things. Mother’s Day, up next! It’s a month of new life, as flowers blossom, little critters show up, and we take time to reflect before life gets entirely too busy on the farm. Or anywhere, for that matter.

Spread the Word of our Lord

For the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies. II Chronicles 20:27 The more I read about King Jehoshaphat, the more I like him. He was far from being perfect, but he didn’t have some of the major character flaws that David and Solomon had. He was definitely a leader and led the people back to God, even as he led them into battle against the enemy. Jehoshaphat was also in front of the people as they joyfully made their way back to Jerusalem after their great victory. Can you picture in your mind the scene that is set before us? After being terrified by their enemies, and in ...
