Have We Lost the Marvel of Easter?
John raced ahead of Peter, but he slammed on his brakes at the sight of the empty tomb. Impetuous as ever, Peter rushed past him. Reality slapped Peter right in the face, and he marveled at the sight.
Resting in Hope
Imagine someone handed you a key to a life filled with hope. You would surely rush to that door and unlock it. You wouldn’t put it off until you had more time. If the door became stuck, you would give it a shove. Then you would safeguard the key by wearing it around your neck on a chain. You wouldn’t toss that precious key in the junk drawer.
Sadly, we have rushed over our focal verse trying to read three chapters daily. We haven’t parked there to consider its riches. Maybe we have given it a try, but it required extra time and effort.
Let’s unpack this verse beginning with the first word, “I.” Who sets the Lord before us. We do.

When 24 Hours Aren’t Enough
I’m preparing a fabulous dinner. None of this convenience food. Everything is made from scratch. I’ve got the roast in the oven and I’m peeling potatoes. My sister is handling the rolls. A knock at the door sends a wave of panic through me. It’s the guest of honor!

I step into the living room, and immediately, I realize Mary isn’t returning.
Guide Dog Tales: God Still Heals
Timmy turned, looking in the back seat. His voice was one of shock. “Iva, what’s wrong? Your eyes are swollen!”
She hadn’t acted like herself when Timmy came home. She didn’t meet him at the door. She didn’t want to come with us as we hurried out the door to run an errand.

Do We Pass the Test?
God tested Abraham when He commanded Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, his only son (Gen. 22:1-2). Like most trials, this one did not make sense. God had never required a human sacrifice. It was in direct contrast to His nature. Why would God take Abraham’s son of old age, especially when He had promised to make Abraham the father of many nations?
God tests us so we can learn to trust Him. Abraham passed the test. Not once during the three-day journey to the mountain of sacrifice did he questions God. Abraham knew God as Jehovah Jireh, “The-Lord-Will-Provide”.
