Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Psalm 43:3. I love the above passage in Psalm 43 because it reminds me that God’s truth is the light that dispels darkness. God is light and in him is…

“Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” I read this Scripture passage this morning in the devotional The Chosen 40 Days With Jesus Book Three.

I was struck yesterday in our Discipleship Class before Church when we were watching The Chosen episode where Mary is frantically for looking for her son, Jesus, who was not with any family as they returned together from Passover celebrations in Jerusalem. The story is found in Luke 2:41-52. Mary knows that she was chosen…
