Key Verse: Hebrews 11:1 KJV What is your greatest obstacle to faith? Often, it’s what we can NOT SEE that sparks our fears. Today, let’s look back to a true story about a desperate widow woman, who felt that she and her son’s days were very limited… Have you ever thought how she felt? Alone. Hungry. Full of agony. (A mother’s heart hurts greatly, bearing the pain of her own children’s sufferings.) As always, God had a plan. The Lord God instructed Elijah, the prophet, to go dwell in Zarephath.

Some Encouraging Words from God – Jeremiah 29
I’m really enjoying reading through the book of Jeremiah. I’m taking my sweet time as I drink my morning coffee and slowly digesting the words from this book in the Old Testament. In chapter 29, Jeremiah’s letter is sent from Jerusalem to the remnants of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, the prophets and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon.
