God speaks in many ways – pictures, words, symbols, and numbers. The number 7 represents perfection and rest. But God also uses multiples like 70×7. “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people…to bring in everlasting righteousness” (Daniel 9:24). 70×7 speaks of God’s deliverance. In the New Testament, Peter asked Jesus: “Lord, how often shall my… Continue reading Dan 9:24 – 70×7
“I am so blessed,” she says as I listen to her voice message. “God is amazing”, she concludes with joy as her message ends.

You hike up a hill and enjoy a picnic while watching the sunset, followed by the full moon rising over the mountains. We were in awe, watching the skies turn glorious… Continue reading Gen 1v16 – Two lights to rule
The sun appears. Light spills over the hill washing the darkness from the valley. The new morning air wafting above the grass like a bride’s silky veil.
