EXODUS 14:22-25 MSG “The Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground with the waters a wall to the right and to the left. The Egyptians came after them in full pursuit, every horse and chariot and driver of Pharaoh racing into the middle of the sea. It was now the morning watch. God looked down from the Pillar of Fire and Cloud on the Egyptian army and threw them into a panic. He clogged the wheels of their chariots; they were stuck in the mud. The Egyptians said, “Run from Israel! God is fighting on their side and against Egypt!” The Israelites were…
REVIVE Psalms 69:32 ESV “When the humble see it they will be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive.” Have you ever felt tired? I have two daughters, both of whom were terrible sleepers since birth. They were most needy during the night, waking up anywhere from 5-6…
ISAIAH 46:5 MSG “So to whom will you compare me, the Incomparable? Can you picture me without reducing me?” We all have lived life differently and have unique experiences that are individual to us. I have gone through different seasons of life that perhaps you have never experienced, and vice…

“Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts.” (Jeremiah 15:16, ESV) I own several Bibles. Some are different translations and others are study Bibles. Some are marked, highlighted, and worn. At least two are held together with heavy tape. But another two of these Bibles hold special meaning for me. One was my mom’s and the other my dad’s. My parents ended their earthly journey a number of years ago, leaving behind well-used Bibles. Mom…
“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” John 7:37-38 Jesus and His disciples were in Jerusalem to celebrate the Fast of Tabernacles, with Jews from all over the world. They would build booths to live in to remind them of their deliverance from Egypt and God’s provision for them while they were in the Wilderness. There were two important ceremonies during…
“Just open your eyes, and see how the wicked are punished. If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the Most High your shelter, no evil will conquer you; no plague will come near your home.” Psalms 91:8-10 I love how we are reminded yet again in this passage of scripture that is our choice to make the Lord our refuge and shelter. We cry out in frustration “God, where are you? Why have you left me?” when in reality we are the ones who have drifted from His presence and spending time in His word. Living for…
“And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.” Matthew 21:10-11. Have you enjoyed our time together as we walked with the crowd around Jesus as He rode into Jerusalem? There were others there that day who could have told us some interesting stories. We can imagine we saw the little lad that gave his lunch to Jesus to feed the multitude; the woman who had pressed through the crowd to touch Jesus’ garment and be healed; the lepers who had…
