Today's Reading

Judges. "Jael nailed it all down." Someone came up with that at the college I attended many years ago. I still smile at it, though the idea of such barbarism is very foreign to me. For her to get the opportunity, it took the power of God to confuse and rout the enemy. Don't make the mistake of thinking today is any different.

Luke. "This is your moment; the time when the power of darkness reigns." We have such moments in our lives, too. I think that our awareness of them grows as we mature in Christ. If only we can remember that the darkness always gives way to the light! Also, our light from Christ shines brightest in the darkest places and times.

Psalms. I keep rediscovering that that world can be a heartless, cruel place. God is our refuge and our victory!

Proverbs 14:4 is one of my favorite Bible verses. Where there are no people, there are no problems. As a pastor, I'm grateful for the problems that come from people working in God's harvest!

What verse speaks to you today? What questions come to mind?
