Have You Missed The Promised Land?

In the book of Exodus, the Israelites are freed from Egypt and set out across the desert to the land Egypt and the wilderness, they focused on the humanly impossible situation before them. As a result, they had to wander another 40 years in the wilderness until everyone of that generation of fear had passed away. They missed the Promised Land because they were not willing to trust God and go through the difficulty required to obtain it. God had promised to them, a good, productive land. When they arrived, there were giants inhabiting the land already that the Israelites would have to drive out. Instead of remembering all the mighty wonders God had performed in

How often do we do that? How often do we miss some blessing because we are not willing to go through the work to get it?

An Exciting Announcement!!!

We take this break in our normal programming to say...I am very excited to announce that after 4 years my first book has been published! All credit goes to God who gave me the inspiration, wisdom and guidance for the entire project. This book is the fruition of the verse:

Romans 8:28 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

Do You Need To Be Undragonned?

In C.S. Lewis’ The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Eustace is turned into a dragon for having greedy

dragonish thoughts. After he has a change of heart, he meets Aslan who will change him back into a human. But first he asks Eustace to “undress”, or take his dragon skin off. Three times, Eustace claws and scratches a layer of skin off, but he is still a dragon. Finally, Aslan undresses him. It hurt terribly, but it was the only way to be cured.

As fantasy as this is, it is something we all need spiritually.
