What is missing in our time is not the willingness of God to act in biblical ways, but the willingness of his people to believe he is still the God of the Bible—and to act on that faith.

Thy saddle shall be the seat of prayers to me. And thou shalt fly without wings, and conquer without sword; oh horse. ↗

Our Heavenly Father longs to bless his children in ways we can’t comprehend.   Even when we can’t see through our circumstances, we can trust the Lord to meet our needs. ↗
