You Have Done Nothing

We do not think like God thinks (Isaiah 55:8). That being said, there are many times when we are unable to grasp what God is doing and we become frustrated. We may even cry out to the Lord, “You have don’t nothing,” just like Moses did. Moses was upset with God. He was angry because … Continue reading You Have Done Nothing →

The Cave

The rabbit never had to run for cover. There was a big dog in the yard ahead that caught Max’s … Continue reading Fear Freeze →
