For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. (Psalm 33:4)
I have some exciting news! Today is my due date with baby boy number 2 and to celebrate I’m bringing you my brand new website. I’m so excited to share it with you. It really turned out well and I look forward to using it as a tool to reach the nations. Please join with me in this grand adventure!
The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days. (Deuteronomy 33:25)
This is one of my absolute favorite Bible verses. I daily cling to this promise in the Word. I love that it says my strength will equal my days. There is a saying that goes around that says, “God will not give you more than you can handle.” But I’m not really fond of this saying. Often we have a different view than God on how much we can handle.
I know there have been many times in my life where I thought I was at the end of my rope and surely God wouldn’t give me one more thing to deal with. But that’s not how God works. He wants us to use us in our weakest place so we can advance His greatest strength. He wants us to be in total dependence on Him and rely on His strength to pull us through daily.
Jesus said to him (Zacchaeus), “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.” (Luke 19:9-10)
Read the rest of the story in Luke 19:1-10.
Do you ever feel small in this big world? I can only imagine how Zacchaeus must have felt when trying to get a look at Jesus through the crowd. He was so small compared to everyone around him. He climbed the sycamore tree to get a good view of Jesus and Jesus responded in love. In love, Jesus invited Himself to the tax collector’s home. The crowd was shocked by this act towards a sinner, but Jesus continued in love.
