    God directs our paths and turns our trials into blessings; He works behind the scenes in Ruth chapter two. Ruth doesn't despair but gets to work.

    The tragic atmosphere of Ruth chapter one changes dramatically in chapter two. In the opening verses we see Ruth undaunted by her plight. She could have chosen Naomi’s despair and bitterness, but instead she looks to God’s provision as she heads for the fields. Ruth wasn’t a ...read more

    Here is a shameless scene….Lot was Abrahams nephew and he is a judge in the city of Sodom…because verse 1 says “he sat in the gate”

    Moms are indeed unsung heroes because much of what a mother does is unnoticed by others.  That is natural because much of what a mother does is behind the scenes. 

    Introduction If you have done any reading in the Old Testament, you will come across those passages of Scripture, where the writer begins telling us that so and so begot this one and so and so begot that one.

     | 525 views

    Delay is not the end of God’s promise; it is often a sign that preparation is taking place behind the scenes. Many biblical heroes experienced delays before stepping into divine fulfilment.

    1) A Communal Thanksgiving (Psalm 75:1), 2) A Careful Thanksgiving (Psalm 75:2-5), 3) A Contemplative Thanksgiving (Psalm 75:6-8), and finally 4) A Certain Thanksgiving (Psalm 57:9-10).

    There are a lot of reasons why it seems odd to celebrate Thanksgiving this year. Not only does it seem that we just finished summer, but also in regards to what is going on in our world.
