No fear
This psalm says the righteous will have no fear of bad news because of his steadfast trust in the Lord. That's amazing faith. I can honestly and humbly say, I am not there. I can't even imagine not fearing…

God's Guidance
Oh how I wish God's guidance was as obvious as it is in Exodus 13, a pillar of cloud and a pillar of fire. Those are not subtle. How do you think the Israelites knew they were God? God's guidance for…

Glory to God
It's hard to believe that Pharaoh, after suffering plagues of livestock, boils, hail, locusts, and darkness would still refuse to release God's people from their slavery to Egypt. However, there are some…
