I agree, Thern is an awesome name.
but not viking – more like…
someone from Yorkshire like Tristan and James Harriot…

Bethi,

Thanks. If you were the only one encouraged, it would be worth it. Miss you too.

Hi Trillia,

Glad to hear it’s a time of prosperity and encouragement for you! And I’m sure you’re a great encouragement to Thern. Have I met Thern? I need to – he’s got one of the coolest names I know. Sounds like a Viking name. I picture him eating a huge hunk of roasted lamb and wiping his mouth on his forearm then gulping down some Viking mead.

Thank you Mark! This is helpful and for me (in a time of much encouragement and prosperity) I really want to be thinking this way! I want to think this way because trials will come and I want to be prepared to remember God during them.

I also pray to be like Luther’s wife for my sweet hubby, Thern. I’ve heard that story before and think it so helpful.

Thank you so much!

Trill.

Emily,

I need this reminder as well on a daily basis.

Marshall,

You’re right – yesterday’s manna won’t do for today

“What are you believing about God right now?”

Yes, it doesn’t help to think that you did believe in God yesterday. Today is the day of salvation.

“We might think our greatest need is … wisdom. Our deepest need is knowing God better.”

This is profound. And again it reveals in my heart how easily I tend towards (or rush towards) legalism instead of seeking a deeper relationship with my loving Father.

Thank you for this reminder.
