Jeremiah 7:13 While you were doing these wicked things, says the Lord, I spoke to you about it repeatedly but you would not listen. I called out to you, but you refused to answer.

  I think in lieu of fasting from social media this week, this is a perfect way to really reset my focus unto the Lord. Actually, I think it’s a great way to actually fix my eyes onto God and not to the distractions of going through my Twitter feed or waiting for people to […]

Isaiah 30: 20-21 Though the Lord gave you adversity for food and suffering for drink, He will still be with you to teach you. You will see your teacher with your own eyes. Your own ears will hear Him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.
