Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more, and now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is against me!” (Genesis 42:36) Do you ever have those days, weeks, or months when your whole world seems to be crashing down around you? The times when where everything you do seems to go against the way you want.  Everything seems to go wrong at that time. A newspaper reported an accident like this; "Driver gets in a wreck, sees his home catch fire, gets a ticket and ends up in hospital" (ROCK ISLAND, Tenn.Fri May 9, 2008) - Justin Hill, 42, got into a crash after turning into the path of an oncoming car Tuesday even...

The two men began talking about their land and the Wisconsin dairyman told the cattleman that he operated his business on 125 acres. The Texan scoffed at such a small parcel of land. He said, "Hey that is nothing compared to what I have. On my ranch, I can get in my truck at sunrise and I won’t reach the fence line of my property until sunset." The dairy farmer sighed and said, "Yeah, I used to have a truck like that!." Perception means everything. Perception matters when it comes to wealth also. Jesus was trying to teach about the right perception we should keep when it comes to wealth.    While Jesus was teaching the crowd, one...

Some get the prizes they expected, and some get suprised at what they get. What is the most exciting time in the process of solving a puzzle? the beginning? or as we get each piece? or is it at the end when all pieces are complete? Regardless of what excites you, the potential beauty that it can become is rewarding. When we first open the box, the puzzle looks nothing like the picture on the outside; it is simply jumbled pieces in a bag. If life is compared to a puzzle, it may be a simple puzzle with a hundred different pieces, or it may be a more complicated thousand-piece puzzle with a picture that’s rather tricky to put together. There may be unple...

An angel of God visited his parents who did not have a child for a long time and promised that they would have a son and he would become a very strong man. He should not cut his hair forever because his hair will be the source of his strength. Samson grew up to be a man of super-human strength (Judges 13, 14). He killed a thousand Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey. At times, he was a mad man. He tied up three hundred foxes tail to tail and set them with fire torches and burned up ...
