No Shadows

Page 155 – The Bottle House “It’s interesting you speak of a shadow following you. We know, of course, that shadows are made by light.” Chaplain Miller stood up and moved over to one of his desk lamps. He removed the shade, then picked up the lamp by its base and moved around his desk

Not “I Promise” but “I Will”

653) I’ve mentioned before that words and their meanings fascinate me. This may be a reason one specific word stands out to me in Genesis 17. In the New International Version of the Bible, “will” is used 31 times. As I read through this passage, I also notice that the word, “promise” is not used.

Just As He Said

465)  In the world we now live, it isn’t always prudent to take someone at their word. But when it comes to God, you can always count on Him keeping His word. In light of this, we shouldn’t be surprised when God does that very thing, just as he said. Matt. 28:5-6

Out of Balance Scale

456)  Life has a way of weighing the scales on the side of difficulties but Zechariah 9:12 tells us God will place so many blessing and goodness on the other side, that it will overtake the bad. Faith is leaning on this promise when bad happens
