Waiting on God

Gentle Reminders
Psalms 3:5-8 5 I can lie down to rest and know that I will wake up, because the Lord covers and protects me. 6 So I will not be afraid of my enemies, even if thousands of them surround me. 7 Lord, get up! My God, come rescue me! If you hit my enemies on the cheek, you…
From Out of the Wilderness

Wash Yourselves
I like a new bar of soap. It’s fresh, untouched and most of the time, smells nice. Soap is a good thing; however, it’s not very useful unless we apply it to our bodies. Approximately 760 years before Christ, the prophet Isaiah, admonishes the Jewish people to wash and make themselves clean. It seemed Israel,…
