The LORD Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8-9 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10

"... Sounds of autumn are unmistakable... the hurrying rustle of crisp leaves blown along the street by a gusty wind..." Hal Borland

👆🏻The more we read the Bible, the more we put the pieces together. The more it makes sense. The less we're afraid of what we'll find, and the more we see a Father full of love who longs for our complete return to Him. The less we see small passages abused out of context, and the more we see an exhaustive picture of redemption and unity. We see the lengths Jesus went to for humanity, and how badly we needed it.

I couldn't have said it better 👇🏼

Coming soon! Join us at Gaining Ground as we (collectively) make our first foray into Wodehouse and his Blandings Castle series. We start a week from today, jump in anytime.

Happy Birthday to all you November babies!

Thank you Dana! Aussie Dave a guy I follow on IG, did a whole devotional about this subject. When he would go to Israel he noticed that the mustard plant is indeed invasive, not only that but it can be found in the most hostile dry environments, the seeds sprout and the roots alone can push and move heavy rocks out of the way searching for light and moisture to sustain itself. This alone should make us re-think about the tenacity of the mustard seed and plant. The roots taping deep into the ground to find living water, while at the same time flourish in unlikely conditions. Isn't that a testament to the determination and the power of faith in Christians no matter what trials we face everyday. 🙌

Our friend, Dana V, shared the below recently and it's worth sharing with my friends here 👇🏼
