The Cloud of the Lord

When the cloud raised above the Tabernacle, the Israelites made ready to journey. They followed the cloud by day and by night. At night, it was a pillar of fire. When it settled upon the Tabernacle, the Israelites remained where they were. In 40 years, they journeyed 40 times. Sometimes they would stay in one place for a day, sometimes for a week, and sometimes for years. But they always had to be ready to travel. What was God teaching them and what can we learn from this?

Grief and Affliction

Lord, there are so many ways to be afflicted and suffer grief. In all our sorrows, we look to You for strength and comfort. Our joy, even in great sorrow, is knowing that You care and are active in our lives. We can rest in You.

The Mouth of the Godless

Yet Lord, I have often said something which has hurt or discouraged my neighbor. I have behaved like the godless. Forgive me.

When a Wicked Man Dies

As I understand the Scriptures, the wicked are not only those who do evil things, but also those who reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. His call goes out to everyone.
