Isaiah 54:1 “Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child;burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor;because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,”says the Lord. This chapter is incredibly comforting. As a … Continue reading →

More Wisdom; July 7, 2026

Posted on July 8, 2026 by jgarrott

Proverbs 8:1 Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice? Going back to yesterday’s reading, wisdom is a verbal stand-in for God. However, there is a huge caveat here: wisdom is not the same as intellect. There have been plenty of … Continue reading →

Posted on June 26, 2026 by jgarrott

Numbers 12:2 “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?” And the Lord heard this. Jealousy is a deep-seated human problem. It inspired the first recorded murder, when Cain killed Abel in Genesis 4. That, however, is no … Continue reading →
