Why do we make learning so difficult? Watch, no, observe a child noticing a bug, squatting down, focused, reaching out to touch it. Maybe just with a stick. Maybe prodding it with a finger or a toe. But the child…

Those sacrifices were only a temporary fix to an ongoing problem. The High priest was constantly on his feet in service for the needs of the people, and no doubt he was worn out at the end of the day. ..

He meets every need, never being embarrassed by the secrets we share—those soul injuries no one knows about. He dances upon Bether, which means “division,” chasing away every shadowy thought by the light of His Word. …

When someone speaks words of affirmation to me, my spirit is lifted and, because of this, I find myself looking for opportunities to affirm and encourage others…
