Strength in the Clouds

 As a part of my daily devotional time, I read Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest.  Today’s title says it all… “What Do You See In Your Clouds?” He cites the scripture in Revelation 1:7 that says, “Behold, He cometh with clouds.”   The following are my take-aways from a 294 word devotional:     – Clouds are always [ READ MORE ]

My son…in whom I am well pleased.
