Isaiah 43:13 “From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can snatch anyone out of my hand. No one can undo what I have done.” I love this verse. Sometimes we just need a quick reminder of how powerful our God is. From beginning to end, He is God. From everlasting to everlasting, He is God. In the valley, He is God. On the mountain, He is God. In tragedy and disaster, He is God. In seasons of rejoicing and victory, He is God. No one, regardless of how powerful they may appear to be, can snatch anyone out…
Matthew 15:33-37 ESV “And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?” And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” And directing the crowd to sit down on…
Matthew 14:15-20 ESV “Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” But Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” They said to him, “We have…

When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. And he sat down by a well. (Exodus 2:15, ESV) Now when forty years had passed, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush. (Acts 7:30, ESV) The life of Moses is an interesting study. Born to Israelite slaves, hidden in a basket in the river, adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter and raised in the palace, given an excellent Egyptian education. It’s a true “rags to riches” tale—until…
“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” Isaiah 43:2 From time to time the Lord inspires me to put my thoughts into verse. They are simple things that mean a lot to me. So, I am going to share one that the Lord gave to me during this time of isolation. I have found a place of rest when the storm clouds hover near. Though the future may look…
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?” (Matthew 7:1-3, ESV) Why is it so easy for me to see your faults but not my own? I think I have good vision; but if I’m blinded to my own shortcomings, I may have a vision problem after all. Perhaps I need an eye exam to…
“But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.” Isaiah 64.8 For the past few days, we have been looking at a selection of women in the Bible who found themselves broken in body, mind, or spirit, because of situations in their lives. The Lord reached out to each one, took the broken pieces, and formed a vessel that was of value for His kingdom. I trust that we have all been moved by their stories and that they have encouraged us to bring…
