Sound good, as I read this and see 2 feet of snow and blowing snow behind me.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Meg.

Dittos ... I’m thankful for you, too.

Looks like it’s time for you to move back to California. :)

Happy Thursday, Luv.

I’m thankful that we are getting some rain today. Not a gully washer but it is leaving some small puddles. I’m also thankful for the snow that is falling in our mountains. Hopefully, the idiots in Sacramento will give some of the runoff to the farmers instead of allocating it all to the fish.

Stay warm, Luv.

[luvie]

Trying to stay warm...our high so far today is 16. We had a bit of snow, but not enough to write home about. However, the overpasses to work were slick so I stayed home. :)

Hope you get the rain you need. We are severely dry here!

Read: Judges 3:7-11

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. —Matthew 5:16

Bible in a Year:
Leviticus 1-3; Matthew 24:1-28

Reading the book of Judges, with its battles and mighty warriors, can sometimes feel like reading about comic book superheroes. We have Deborah, Barak, Gideon, and Samson. However, in the line of judges (or deliverers), we also find Othniel.

The account of his life is brief and straightforward (Judges 3:7-11). No drama. No display of prowess. But what we do see is what God did through Othniel: “The Lord raised up a deliverer” (v.9), “the Spirit of the Lord came upon him” (v.10), and “the Lord delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand” (v.10).

The Othniel account helps us focus on what is most important—the activity of God. Interesting stories and fascinating people can obscure that. We end up concentrating on those and fail to see what the Lord is doing.

When I was young, I wished I could be more talented so that I could point more people to Christ. But I was looking at the wrong thing. God often uses ordinary people for His extraordinary work. It is His light shining through our lives that glorifies God and draws others to Him (Matt. 5:16).

When others look at our life, it is more important that they see God—not us.

May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power. —Wilkinson

Our limited ability highlights God’s limitless power.
