Cheryl and i learned this lesson on debt long ago well before our family band days. When God called us to go live on the road as a traveling band we didn’t have that old debt from the past holding us back ☝🔥📖💒

“That was the month when their sorrow was turned into rejoicing and their mourning into a holiday.”

The book of Esther is really interesting. Even though God is not specifically mentioned, you can find Him at work behind the scenes throughout the story! I think we are sometimes inclined to think things are a coincidence when, in actuality, God is moving behind the scenes all the time.

I recommend taking time today to watch the video on…

Mammon is not just cash in your wallet or a number in your bank account. It is the belief that money can give you what only God can truly provide.

If you have a few extra minutes today, you might want to dig into what it means to be like ‘a green olive tree’.

Psalm 52:8 But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.

38In view of all this, we make a binding agreement, putting it in writing and sealing it with the names of our leaders, Levites, and priests.”

Will the people follow this agreement or does God offer a final solution?

What a beautiful prayer of restoration this Psalm is!

How gracious is the God we serve! A God who forgives our sins. A God who creates in us a new heart and restores to us the joy of our salvation!

Truly, nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God found in Christ Jesus.

Psalm 51 is always so fascinating to read. Thinking about the situation that prompted the Psalm, and then listening to what David is thinking and saying. Thinking of the times in my life when I have fallen short. Very humbling.

This passage really impacted me today:

Nehemiah 8:3 So Ezra read it aloud from daybreak until noon as he faced the square before the Water Gate, in front of the men and women and those who could understand. And all the people listened attentively to the Book of the Law. 4 Ezra the scribe stood on a high wooden platform built for this occasion.…

I think this is an interesting verse:

Nehemiah 4:16a And from that day on, half of my servants did the work while the other half held spears, shields, bows, and armor.

It reminded me that each day, even as we are going about our regular lives, there is also a spiritual battle going on.

Last Friday gave me a chuckle. Our 6yr old granddaughter was getting restless with our long wait to see the doctor. Suddenly she broke out into a VBS song, hale hale hale haleleuh…giving all our praise to You, repeatedly and louder and louder. Couldnt help but think someone in that office needed to hear that ‼️🎶😂

These chapters in Ezra today are difficult to read. The balance between obedience and the consequences of dealing with their disobedience is hard to fathom if you think about it in terms of what it must have actually been like for the people going through it.

This will be the prize for the good and faithful servants of the living God!
