Heavenly Father, I’m marveling today at how the current day scoffers sound so much like the religious leaders of Jesus’ time. The arrogance and division in their proffered theory regarding Jesus coming from Galilee showed their ignorance of Jonah’s roots from near Nazareth in Lower Galilee. The common people of the land were contemptible to…
Today is a beautiful day, because of God’s precepts, “The insolent smear me with lies, but with my whole heart I keep your precepts; their heart is unfeeling like fat, but I delight in your law.” (Psalm 119:69-70 ESV) Delight #joyinverse #blessedthisdayandeveryday
