Bible Unfinished projects lurking in the corner. To-do list covered with stacks of mail. Half-written posts hanging in the balance. Piled up papers wait to be filed.

Winning The Battle to Be Blessed
TODAY’S BLESSING – GENESIS 49:1-2 Faced with the coming of his last days, Jacob gathered his sons to speak prophetically into theirs. The Bible calls these proclamations, “blessings”, although several would not meet our modern criteria for the same. Some of these utterances must have been hard to hear. Some may be hard for us to… Continue reading Winning The Battle to Be Blessed
