Speechless

Deathly pale in light of the vision. No strength. 

Alone and overwhelmed to the point of exhaustion, Daniel drops. Face to the ground. 

Powerless. Speechless. Unable to breathe.

And the Lord responds to His servant. With tenderness and strength.

Unexpected ways

Unexpected ways. How He pierces hearts. Pursues the lost lamb.

Opens eyes to see. And ears to hear.

During our years in a desert city, a believer shares her story. Tells me the very moment she turned and followed Christ. 

Reading Scripture. And not the usual evangelistic passage.

But pointing to the One who is worthy of our praise.

Salt

Everyday conversations. On the road. In the store. Are my words seasoned with salt? 

Flavored with the gospel? Purified with truth?

Salt caught my attention when we were living in a dry and thirsty land. On the way to the beach, we passed white fields of sea salt.  

Harvested from the Arabian Sea.
