“The angel of God that had been leading the camp of Israel now shifted and got behind them. And the Pillar of Cloud that had been in front also shifted to the rear. The Cloud was now between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. The Cloud enshrouded one camp in darkness and flooded the other with light. The two camps didn’t come near each other all night.” Exodus 14:19-20 MSG We often sing songs in church that tell of God going before us, behind us, and around us. We read scripture that explains that we are never…
“All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink.” Exodus 17:1 ESV Throughout the book of Exodus, we can read the…

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 I have read this scripture many times and often quoted it when I was needing strength for some task or situation in my life. But as I looked at the verses that go before it, I realized just why Paul was saying this. He was commending the Philippians for the way they had supported him whenever they had the opportunity to do so. There were times when he needed food, and they had not been close enough to help him. But just the thought that if they had…
“And Jesus said to the woman, Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” Luke 7:50 Desperation. Anguish. Shame. Have you ever felt one of these? Perhaps you have experienced all three like I have. You see, I wasn’t raised in this Apostolic truth. Sure, I was made to go to Sunday School from time to time with my Grandparents, but it wasn’t consistent and it wasn’t because I wanted to. I eventually strayed from what I knew to be right and took my own path, one that would lead to depression, self-harm and misery. I felt worthless and completely…
“You are good and do only good; teach me your decrees.” Psalms 119:68 NLT In the midst of all the chaos in our world right now, this scripture spoke so loudly to me. We are bombarded everyday with another tragedy, another issue that we can’t seem to fix, brokenness and devastation. But God. He is good and does only good. Even though we are living in unprecedented and scary times, He is still good. Even though the world seems to be crumbling beneath our feet, He is still good and does only good. Even though your health may be failing…
“Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people.” (Colossians 3:23, CSB) (This week we are studying various women of the Bible to see what lessons we can learn from their lives. Today, let’s look at Priscilla, a New Testament believer who along with her husband, Aquila, ministered in various ways.) You may know someone who seems to possess numerous talents and abilities and does them all well. They are good at juggling various tasks while smiling the whole time. Wise and caring, they make those around them feel comfortable. I…
