Now it makes sense

In the most unlikely places, a song of truth plays. Or Scripture is repeated. Even memorized. Without explanation.

And the words somehow settle in the brains of young ones. Not fully grasped or understood. Tucked in a corner.

Until one day, clarity comes. And the distant, vague memory is brought to life.

As for me

“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”(Joshua 24:15 NASB). It comes down to a determined choice. 

Stating commitment to the Lord God is necessary. 

Otherwise, primary loyalties may return to previous idols. Or the gods of this present world.

Pain

The problem of pain sits in shadows. Valleys. Sometimes hidden.

Walking by faith, we navigate broken streets. And journey with hurting people.

Face to face with a biblical reality.

“For we know that the whole creation groans…” (Romans 8:22 NASB).
