So that you may know


1 Kings 17:17-24

Tragedy hit the House of the widowed woman who helped Elijah . Her son became ill and died. She assumed it was punishment for her sins. Elijah prayed. The boy was healed. The widow woman exclaims that NOW she knows for sure, he truly is a man of God.

Did she not know before? Why was there a trace of doubt after the miracle of food was evidenced daily before her eyes? One would think she was convinced. God only knows the deepest thoughts of our hearts. He knew she somehow still had questions. Her son had to die, and be brought to life; not because of her sins but because of her hidden lack of faith. God wanted it to be unwavering.

The sudden valley you may find yourself in, may be because God wants to increase your faith. We think we trust him, but is there something that he sees that we can't? He wants you to say, with confidence, that God is what he says he is, and will do what he said he'd do. he wants you to exclaim, Now I know.


Warmest thoughts and prayers,
Chantel

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials,

child logic: waitress vs. God

That sounds like something my 6 year old would say! Malachi 3:10-12 (King James Version) 10Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

Earnestly contend for the Faith: Jude

Today's passage is Revelation 18-22, but here I am one book behind in Jude. I just wanted to spend some time in this one chaptered book. I love that the Word of God is LIVELY and ACTIVE, and, though never changing, it is always revealing. I got stuck on Jude verse 3. The words EARNESTLY and CONTEND, made me think, wow, we have to put up a fight for this thing. I read, and scribbled in my notebook as I went through. Here is what I wrote:
