Proverbs 13:15, “Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.” The will of the Lord is spoken of throughout scripture. His temporal will for His children at times is easy to see, and other times will require us to pray and meditate diligently to have a glimpse. When asked, I often tell […]

Isaiah 44:22, “I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.” Clouds are a gathering of moisture and vapors from the earth and sea. Clouds often block our view of the sun. Many times on a cloudy and rainy day […]
