We take a break from our usual pattern of study to focus on a single word. At least seven times in Psalm 119 we see the word affliction. Often, we think the blessing of God means we won’t suffer affliction, yet today we will meditate on this thought - in affliction God brings His greatest blessings.
Psalm 119:50, 67, 71, 75, 92, 107, 153
When a Politician Met the King of Heaven
byScott Pauley / Enjoying the Journey
(Acts 12:18-25) In Acts 12 we find a powerful politician who came face-to-face with the King of Kings. Although Harrod was the most well-known powerful man in his day — God Almighty brought him to his knees. It is the Lord who gives favor and allows power.
