Consider the ant
Proverbs 6:6-11 Go to the ant, you lazybones!
Consider its ways, and be wise.
7 It has no chief, overseer or ruler;
8 yet it provides its food in summer

When will you get up from your sleep?
10 “I’ll just lie here a bit, rest a little longer,
just fold my hands for a little more sleep” —
11 and poverty comes marching in on you,
scarcity hits you like an invading soldier. Go to the ant..

Who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his talmidim (disciples/students), he said, “Look! Here are my mother and my brothers! 50 Whoever does what my Father in heaven wants, that person is my brother and sister and mother.” If you notice, verse 47 has nothing after it... In some ma

Follow Him
Matthew 4:18-22 18 As Yeshua walked by Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), he saw two brothers who were fishermen — Shim‘on (Simon), known as Kefa (Peter), and his brother Andrew — throwing their net into the lake. 19 Yeshua said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men!” 20 At once they left their nets and went with him. 21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers — Ya’akov Ben-Zavdai (James, son of Zebedee) and Yochanan (John) his brother — in the boat

Keep paying attention...
It is another day and we have much to be thankful for. Even when the sun doesn’t shine, or things seem difficult, we can find something to give thanks about. I have shared a lot about giving thanks. So, this morning when the following verse showed up on my BibleApp, it intrigued me to want to share about community. Hebrews 10:24 And let us keep paying attention to one another, in order to spur each other on to love and good deeds, (CJB) What does this verse have to do with co
