The Israelites went through the wilderness for 40 years, in what could have been, a week-long journey, but when things are taking longer than we initially expected, we need to seek God. Is there something that He is wanting to teach us? Maybe there…

This morning, I felt lead to re-read Isaiah 40, but these two questions I asked in my mind and instantly I heard myself say, “no-one.” I loved how my Spirit instantly reaffirmed what I know to be true. In this chapter, Isaiah speaks about…
