My Way or God’s Way

I have often noticed how we as humans do things backwards from the way God does. Is 55:8 aludes to that, and the whole chapter is about God’s work.

There’s Something Wrong In Here

A scripture I’ve totally overlooked in Judges is a parable about the trees looking for a ruler. It inspired me to look deeper into what I allow to rule my life. It’s a cool parable…. Continue reading
