My Father in Famine
We don’t have to look far to see famine in our land today. We are a spiritually impoverished nation. We look to worldly leaders and influencers, but like the judges of Ruth, they are powerless to nourish us. We turn inward to try to help ourselves, save ourselves, love ourselves but find we are not the source of anything. There is only one who is able to feed us in famine, and not just feed us but flourish us.
We’re on Our Knees. Rise Up, O Judge of the Earth.
Our God sees every single act of injustice. He hears every single word of hate. All of it will be paid for. Not one tiny sin will escape punishment. The wages of every sin is death and death will be paid. It will either be paid for by Jesus on the cross or by the wicked for all eternity. He holds it all. He also sees it all.

A Mother’s Prayer from the Fish Bowl
