I’ve mentioned before that one of the practices I enjoy in the Word is to pick a topic or word and follow the thread of that topic through the Bible. Today’s word: bread. The story of God’s provision is written across the pages of Scripture, like a golden thread in a royal tapestry.

Jesus, the great Shepherd of souls, gave us a parable in Luke 18:1-8 that gives us one of the grandest lessons in the school of faith—namely, that we must pray persistently and never lose heart. He tells of a widow, helpless in the world’s eyes, who pleaded day and night with an unjust judge.

I rarely talk/write about politics and that isn’t going to change today. However, from time to time, I do have my own feelings about actions our authorities are taking. And, from time to time, those feelings erode the peace that I have been promised in Christ.
