Thank You for showing me how fragile the powers I lean on really are, and for holding me when they drift off downstream.

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and your majesty." It is a wedding song, and the…Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one: your splendor and your majesty." It is a wedding song, and the groom is told to arm himself. Notice where his glory sits: not in robes, but in a blade carried for truth and for his bride. Love that cannot fight for you is only sentiment. Christ's beauty has an edge to it, and that edge stands between you and everything that would devour you.
Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem." Three months. That…Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem." Three months. That is all the record gives him. Josiah's son inherited a throne but not his father's trembling before God's word. Faith is not passed down like a crown. What you received from others, have you made it yours?
Lord Jesus, be close to me today, down in the quiet places where only you can reach. When my strength…Lord Jesus, be close to me today, down in the quiet places where only you can reach. When my strength runs thin and my words run out, let your grace be enough. Stay near, and keep me near to you.
The first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece…The first fruits of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give him." Not just food, but warmth. The first wool went out the door before a single coat was woven at home. What would your giving look like if it came before your comfort, not after?

Thank You for mothers who pass on faith, for young believers in small towns, and for the homes You reach even when only one parent believes.
