You ever open your computer screen, scroll through the awful headlines and think to yourself,
I’m glad I’m not like them.
I have. My guess is that you have, too.
The Bible reading in Luke today is both awful and interesting. In the first part of Luke 13, Jesus speaks of an incident that apparently took place in the temple. Roman soldiers cut down some Galileans and their blood was mixed with some of the blood sacrifices.
This appalled the Israelites. The Lord’s answer as usual is both unexpected and profound. Basically, He states that unless the people repent, they will all suffer the same fate.
A chicken landed on my head. Ladies, be patient, I m getting your food.
Who knew two years ago I d be feeding 75 hens, collecting eggs, and selling fresh produce at farmers markets?
God did.
The truth be known, I prayed for it. Not necessarily for the chicken on my head, but I prayed the Lord would move us to a new state, a new ministry, and a new life. I asked Him for a deeper faith in Him, and that my husband would be known in the gates not me.
He answered, but not like I thought He would.
A friend of mine said, If you can figure out how God is going to do something, that s not how He s going to do it.
