My dear old uncle would water his balcony planters everyday, and when I’d visit he’d ask what was wrong with them. So I’d say again to water as needed , only when dry, instead of daily...

December 10Grace at the End
Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering. Mark 5:34 Artist Doug Merkeys masterful sculpture Ruthless Trust features a bronze human figure clinging desperately to a cross made of walnut wood. He writes, Its a very simple expression of our constant and appropriate posture for lifetotal, unfettered intimacy with and dependency upon Christ and the gospel.
Thats the kind of trust we see expressed in the actions and words of the unnamed woman in Mark 5:2534. For twelve years her life had been in shambles (v. 25). She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse (v. 26). But having heard about Jesus, she made her way to Him, touched Him, and was freed from her suffering (vv. 2729).
Have you come to the end of yourself? Have you depleted all your resources? Anxious, hopeless, lost, distressed people need not despair. The Lord Jesus still responds to desperate faiththe kind displayed by this suffering woman and depicted in Merkeys sculpture. This faith is expressed in the words of hymn writer Charles Wesley: Father, I stretch my hands to Thee; no other help I know. Dont have that kind of faith? Ask God to help you trust Him. Wesleys hymn concludes with this prayer: Author of faith, to Thee I lift my weary, longing eyes; O may I now receive that gift! My soul, without it, dies.
By: Arthur Jackson
Reflect & Pray
When have you desperately clung to Christ? How did God meet your need?
Father, thank You for Your power to rescue me. Help me to trust You to meet all my needs.

Bethlehem of Judea A little child,
A shining star.
A stable rude,
The door ajar.
Yet in that place,
So crude, forlorn,
The Hope of all The world was born.

A Happy GratiTuesday to you MEG,
and to everyone here at Amy's Place!

December 11Canceled Debts
The Lords time for canceling debts has been proclaimed. Deuteronomy 15:2
In 2009, Los Angeles County stopped charging families for the costs of their childrens incarceration. Though no new fees were charged, those with unpaid fees from before the change in policy were still required to settle their debt. Then in 2018 the county canceled all outstanding financial obligations.
For some families, canceling the debt aided greatly in their struggle to survive; no longer having liens on their property or wages being garnished meant they were better able to put food on the table. It was for this kind of hardship that God called for debts to be forgiven every seven years (Deuteronomy 15:2). He didnt want people to be crippled forever by them.
Because the Israelites were forbidden to charge interest on a loan to fellow Israelites (Exodus 22:25), their motives for lending to a neighbor werent to make a profit, but rather to help those who were enduring hard times, perhaps due to a bad harvest. Debts were to be freely forgiven every seven years. As a result, there would be less poverty among the people (Deuteronomy 15:4).
Today, believers in Jesus arent bound by these laws. But God might occasionally prompt us to forgive a debt so those whove been struggling can begin afresh as contributing members of society. When we show such mercy and generosity to others, we lift up Gods character and give people hope.
By: Kirsten Holmberg
Reflect & Pray
How have your debts been forgiven? Who can you lift up by forgiving a debt owed or a wrong done to you?
Jesus, thank You for caring about the financial burdens we carry.
