Tuesday Truth – Bravery in Brokenness

At church, we are starting a new series on the book of Ruth. The first message was titled “Bravery in Brokenness” and the pastor talked about chapter 1 only. If you need a refresher on the story of Ruth, it’s a wonderful account of how God is providential in His timing and how He provides for His people in unexpected ways, even in the midst of tragedy.

Tuesday Truth - Bind the Word of God

Some Orthodox Jews would wear a black leather box, called a tefillin, just above their forehead fastened to their head with a leather band. Inside the box they would put the scrolls of the Word of God. It was their way applying a command form the Law, Deuteronomy 11:18, “You shall bind them…as a sign upon your forehead.” This is done as an outward observance, but in looking deeper this can change your life and mind.

Tuesday Truth - Your Steps

As a runner, I have learned to value the strength in my legs and every step I take. One verse that always had a special place in my heart can be found in Proverbs 16: 9, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” But you don’t need to be a runner to value and appreciate this verse.

Tuesday Truth - Kudzu Plants

Have you ever heard of the Kudzu plant? Brought to America from Asia in the early 19th Century, this fast-growing vine was considered an invasive species. The plant is able to grow up to a foot a day and monopolizes resources around it to allow for such accelerated growth.
