3 Measures of Meal
“The kingdom of Heaven is like unto leaven which a woman took and hid in 3 measures of meal till the whole was leavened.” (Matthew 13:33 – King James Version). I was studying this parable of Jesus one night and discovered that the New International Version...
A Refuge and a Fortress
Psalm 91:2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my REFUGE and my FORTRESS…” God is our protection… just like a FORTRESS or a REFUGE. Do you know the difference between the two? A FORTRESS is a place of protection surrounded by walls. The person inside is safe from enemies...
