Changing Our Posture

The woman at the well with Jesus was a shameful lady, living in a shameful city, amidst a shameful country. She was buried alive beneath layer upon layer of shame and could hardly lift her head under the weight of it.

Against the Sea

The psalmist points out the ongoing faithfulness and affection of our God. I think about the Israelites and the way we know God blew apart the waters on their behalf, but I also recall that God ‘remembered’ Noah and his family in the flood. Additionally, He ‘remembered’ Joseph in prison. Not that our heavenly Father ever misplaces us or goes on without us, but it seems at the appointed time, He remembers. He steps in and miracles happen.
