Not Your Ways
Ps.69:9 “Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, and the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.”

Impact
Ecc. 3:1 “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.”
Please John 2:1-11 (NRSV] and as you read, you will be blessed because the Word of God is life. We continue to journey with John and this time he is narrating what happened at the wedding in Cana of Galilee on the third day.

Hesed
John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” (NRSV, emphasis added)
