“Thoughts from the Wilderness…” Devotional 07/25/24
Preparation. Are we prepared? I know I am not but I need to be me and hopefully can say want to be. I have thought about the number 40 in terms of Moses. The first forty years of his life, I think, he was learning and being prepared for what was to come after his…

Redemption of circumcision via baptism. Let’s face it guys. Women do a whole lot more within the circle of life for reproduction then we do. We have our part – starts active yet quickly moves into a very passive engagement. And once we are at the hospital, we become the backseat passengers for the most part…

What are your gifts? What are your abilities? Whom do you attribute that gave you them? As I was driving, see I don’t know about you and where He speaks to you 1:1 but it is usually Him and I and the open road here in the mountains, the thought that was laid upon me…

Confession time! Is it not interesting how when “things” come together when you need to “hear” something. Circumstance, nope – G-d’s providence all the more likely as He moves and weaves Himself and His will into our lives. I say that almost too easily. The L-rd is speaking all the time yet our ears aren’t…
