A daily walk in faith, hope and love
MINIBITES 1. Elizabeth and Zechariah begun this journey with an end goal in mind, a son to be named John. That was the destination. As we read in Luke 1:59-60 'So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him by the name of his... Continue Reading →
Luke 9:51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. It was as though Jesus' inner alarm had heard the final part of the sequence: 'ON YOUR MARKS, SET, GO!' because as we read 'Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem' (Luke 9:51b). To the watching...

I recently listened to a message titled "seed time and harvest". Two central themes I gleaned were:1. "every harvest, whether good or bad, is pre-programmed." And the contributors to that programming among many things include our knowledge or ignorance, choices, and mindset.2. There are three potential sowers in your field: God, the devil and yourself....

DAY 205 Exodus 14:8 The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly. The same Pharoah who charged Moses and Aaron by night (Ex 12:3), to take Israel out of Egypt, appears dazed when he is told that Israel had fled. So, he... Continue Reading →
Luke 7:24-26 An interesting question about pursuit comes into the frame of conversation in the address Jesus gives today's Gospel.
