A little longer post with thoughts on this morning’s bible reading

Today’s bible reading was chalk full of goodness. I thought I’d share one of the things that stuck out to me. The Old Testament reading was in 2 Kings 6:1-7:20. I highlighted 6:15-17 and 7:2. I think they easily parallel some of the attitudes we see in the Body of Christ [...]
