Sometimes life threatens to crsuh us, but there is hope.

some thoughts on the Mosaic and other laws

What does “safe” mean?

With sin-filled eyes, we cannot see God as He truly is. They now saw God through distorted lenses and created a harsh God of their own imaginings. It’s what we do. He will open our spiritual eyes.

Mirages in the desert or on the highway promise water that isn’t there. Politicians make promises that, even if they genuinely hoped to deliver, will never be fulfilled. Friends, family, and even church members can let us down. All the trinkets and whiz-bang-gizmos we long for and buy never deliver the fulfillment we crave.

Kevin’s paraphrase “to know and experience the grace of God and to fully delight in it.” This joy exceeds superficial happiness; it comes from deep within

The Holy Spirit inspired the entirety of the Word, and we can trust it. The Word is the revelation of God, and when it disagrees with our likes or understanding, we are the ones in the wrong. Even the Hard words are inspired.

Closer than family. Tied with unbreakable cords. Designed for a purpose. What an incredible thought.
