ONE MESSAGE. ONE FAITH.

Photo cred: https://fromthemarginsofmybible.wordpress.com/ Moses has been commissioned by God to go before Pharaoh and tell him to let the Hebrew children go. Moses responds with fear and insecurity and makes excuse after excuse  to prove why he is not the man for the job. Obviously God knows otherwise and still sends Moses on his way, providing him Aaron as his leaning post. Like a father teaching his son to ride a bike, however, God works with Moses, because he knows, more than Moses does, what Moses is able to do. 21  And the  Lord  said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. - Exodus 4:21   27  And the  Lord  said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he went and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him.  28  So Moses told Aaron all the words of the...

I have been gaining refreshing insight from the Word of God recently as I have begin reading the bible in portions- Torah portions to be exact. It is wonderful to see the "line upon line" and the congruence of the scripture from the Torah ( the books of Moses), the prophets, and the New Testament. The river of redemption and love of Yahweh flows from beginning to end. As cliche as it sounds the entire bible can truly summed up in the word LOVE. As I read the portion for this week- Va'era -, I was drawn in by the transformation of Moses. His transformation was a direct result of the patience and long-suffering of Jehovah.

Whether subconscious or deliberate, many stand at the fulcrum of the old and new years and look back and ahead. I ushered in the new year with fellowship and prayer with friends. As the day progressed it was apparent to me that even though the year just renewed, my plans for 2017 were well under way before it had begun. There were events to plan, classes to take, goals to achieve, and budgets to make. As I knelt in prayer the other morning talking with the Lord about the things ahead, I realized how just a little over a year ago, many of my present plans would not exist. A little over a year ago I wanted to go a different direction, but if I had gone in that direction, (of which I was so sure of at the time), it would have prevented me from my present future. Had I taken it upon myself, to do what I was convinced made sense at the time, I would be facing a different reality. God knew. Jeremiah 29:11.  I recall being upset that I was unable to continue my educatio...
