This blog is dedicated to E.M, with my deepest thanks for her timely email and much-needed encouragement.
Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever. They told Jesus about her right away. So he went to her bedside, took her by the hand, and helped her sit up. Then the fever left her, and she prepared a meal for them (Mark 1:30-31; NLT).
Lord,
I’ve always felt
Completely worthless,
But now, at last,
This has begin to change.
Today, you took my hand
And led me forward:
Lord, your ways are wonderful –
And strange!
You are great and perform wonderful deeds. You alone are God (Psalm 86:10; NLT).
Can you uncover the mystery of the divine? Can you discover the limits of Shaddai? They are as high as heaven – what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol – what can you know? Their measure is longer than the world, and wider than the sea (Job 11:7-9; TIB).
“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine” (Isaiah 55:8; NLT).
