Numbers 12-14; Psalm 28; Colossians 2 Unity and Movement “the people waited until she was brought back before they traveled again.” (Numbers 12:15) Sibling rivalry is a common thing. I spent many days trying to beat my brother rolling skating around the neighborhood to only come up short. He beat me every time. Yet, when […]

  Numbers 3-5; Hebrews 12 by Becky Hill Martin My dad’s belt. I can see it hanging on the rotating rack along with the wide ties from the 70s. I can also feel its sting – more from my pride being hurt than my backside. My parents used that belt more than they ever wanted to. […]

Numbers 1-2; Psalm 64; Hebrews 11 By Faith Many a day I must remind myself it is “by faith” and not “by feelings.” Sometimes how I “feel” must take a backseat to my “by faith.” We all have moments where we may not desire to go through the things we go through. Our feelings can […]

Leviticus 26-27; Psalm 112; Hebrews 10 Idols Make us Idle “Do not make idols or set up carved images, or sacred pillars, or sculptured stones in your land so you may worship them. I am the Lord your God.” Lev. 26:1 I once heard a preacher say, “idols make you idle.” Meaning, when you worship […]

Leviticus 19-20; Hebrews 7 by Becky Hill Martin “Never Have I Ever” is a party game where a player shares something they’ve never done. Anybody who’s done it responds by putting a finger down (PG-rated version). The more “evers” (fingers down) you have, the more you, 1) shock your peers, 2) earn their respect. I […]

Leviticus 15-18; Psalm 31; Hebrews 6 We Need Jesus After reading that, you may be saying: Duhhh! Yet, it is a reminder that we cannot “get right” with God without Jesus. In Leviticus 16 we read about the day of atonement, it was something directed to be done to cover the people due to sin […]

Leviticus 12-14; Psalm 111; Hebrews 5 Psalm 111:2 NLT How amazing are the deeds of the LORD! All who delight in him should ponder them. Reflection Every morning I try to take a moment and reflect or ponder on the prior day and the day before me. Reading Psalm 111 really had me think about […]

Leviticus 1-3; Psalm 27; Hebrews 2 By Becky Hill Martin “Rerouting… rerouting… make a U-turn…” if you use GPS as much as I do, you know. (Ok – I’m usually only redirected because I can’t figure out if “go west” means turn left or right.) I once switched the preset voice I named “Karen” to […]

Exodus 38-40; Hebrews 1 God’s Presence  Rough days we can dodge here and there, but it seems eventually they catch us. At times I wish \ those days would disappear and never be on my calendar. These hard times do not inventory if we believe in God or not, they still come and stay longer […]

Exodus 35-37; Psalm 26; Philippians 4 Unfailing Love From Exodus to Philippians God’s love for humanity is made known. Love is patient, love is kind, and these are elements of who God is. He is patient with us as He constructs situations and contexts where we may worship Him and connect with Him (Exodus 35-37). […]
