Walks with God

Testimony by Betsy Nelson

Many years ago I was walking with friends in downtown Chattanooga.  It was late, probably 10 pm.  We were walking to our favorite hangout, The Pickle Barrel.  It was mid-November, and chilly enough for a jacket, but otherwise pleasant.  This was not uncommon to walk at night in downtown Chattanooga.  It was a safe town.

I caught a glimpse of a guy sitting by himself in Miller Plaza. This is an open area where bands sometimes play on the weekends. He was sitting by a fountain that had been turned off because it was winter.  Something about him caught me.  I felt instantly that he needed help of some sort.  I told my friends that I’d catch up with them in a little bit.  Continue reading “Walks with God”

Job 12:7-10

“Ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?

In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.”

Job 12:7-10

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

Isaiah 58:7-11

homeless-and-hungry

Isaiah 58:7-11

Share your food with the hungry,
and give shelter to the homeless.

Give clothes to those who need them,
and do not hide from relatives who need your help.

“Then your salvation will come like the dawn,
and your wounds will quickly heal.

Your godliness will lead you forward,
and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind.

Then when you call, the Lord will answer.
‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply.

“Remove the heavy yoke of oppression.
Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors!
Feed the hungry,
and help those in trouble.

Then your light will shine out from the darkness,
and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.

The Lord will guide you continually,
giving you water when you are dry
and restoring your strength.

You will be like a well-watered garden,
like an ever-flowing spring.
