Spiritual markers

Remember spiritual markers. 

Turning points in personal history. 

Moments of growth when God gives wisdom. And courage to take the next step. Boldness to enter something new.

Remember significant signposts in His Word. 

And give thanks.

Wise woman

We never see her name. But know her reputation. 

“A wise woman….”

And she stops the destruction of her city. 

As troops are battering the wall to take it down, she asks to speak with their leader. Joab. And appeals to him with humility.

“Listen to the words of your servant” (2 Samuel 20:17).

Wise woman.

Deeper in

Backroads. On the way to somewhere. 

And we pass narrow paths disappearing into the woods. Trees tall and leafy obscure our view of where they’re going. 

Deeper in.

Then, one day we take a path. Into a national forest.
