“For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” Psalm 139:13-14 When I was a child, we used to make paper snowflakes in school. We would specially fold a sheet of paper and then make cuts in the folds so that when we opened it up it looked like a snowflake. Unless we all traced the same pattern, everyone turned out differently; there were no two alike. So it is that every snowflake…

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1 The “secret place” is more than a hidden location—it is a place of intimacy, trust, and closeness with God.

“Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.” Ruth 1:1 The books of Judges and I and II Samuel record the history of Israel when they were experiencing trouble and turmoil because they were not obeying the laws of God.
