“But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it will be evident that such overwhelming power comes from God, and not from us.” 2 Corinthians 4:7 This is such a simple verse, but it’s pretty profound. We hear all the time that we are jars of clay, fashioned to do the work of God;…
Exodus 16:3 The people of Isra’el said to [Moshe and Aharon], “We wish ADONAI had used his own hand to kill us off in Egypt! There we used to sit around the pots with the meat boiling, and we had as much food as we wanted. But you have taken us out into this desert…
Exodus 10:24-26 Pharaoh summoned Moshe and said, “Go, worship ADONAI; only leave your flocks and herds behind – your children may go with you.” Moshe answered, “You must also see to it that we have sacrifices and burnt offerings, so that we can sacrifice to ADONAI our God. Our livestock will also go with us…
Exodus 6:1 YHWH said to Moshe [Moses], “Now you will see what I am going to do to Pharaoh. With a mighty hand he will send them off; with force he will drive them from the land!” All through Exodus 5, the people of Israel feel the backlash of Moshe’s request to Pharaoh to let…
For his grace has overcome us, and ADONIAI’S truth continues forever. Halleluyah! Psalm 117:2 I didn’t understand what it meant that God’s grace overcomes us, so I looked at the words in Hebrew to get a better idea of what that actually means. The word for grace is chesed. It means goodness, kindness, and faithfulness….
As I’ve learned more and journeyed farther this summer, not only have I gotten freer, but I’ve started paying attention to the things I say. Over and over, it seems I don’t speak in a way that is uplifting and positive. So, I’ve starting actually thinking a little bit more before I speak. Okay, so…
As we’ve dug deeper into prayer, I’ve begun to notice God working more and more… I went in to speak with my Principal about some tech questions, and ended up talking about ways to work with teachers to improve technology use and about leading the 9th grade English team! Definitely not expected! But pretty awesome!…
I was reading yesterday and today, and both days I noticed something interesting (and profound, for me). In Number 1:5, YHWH tells Moshe (Moses) “These are the men to take with you: …” He then proceeds to name specifically each of the men that He wants. What’s the big deal? He knows them by name!…
Just a couple of thoughts from the church service today that I wanted to record before I forgot: Believe the truth – I may know the truth, but I don’t always believe it or live it. My challenge is to believe the truth even if it’s difficult, because if I believe the lie then I…
There have been a lot of things that have seemed really jumbled for me in the past year and I couldn’t understand how they all fit together… until today! Surrender and Slavery I was listening to Dutch Sheets speak about Intercessory prayer, and something he said suddenly just clicked! God created man (Adam) to be…
