Do tragedies make us, or break us? Maybe the answer depends on how we decide to deal with the tragedies. That’s a question Morgan Phelps addresses in this part of our conversation. She and her family are no strangers to adversity – even some of the worst kinds of loss. Nevertheless, they have found ways to survive and thrive through every trial.
A big part of overcoming adversity concerns our relationship with our Creator. Connecting with Him at His appointed times is a very important part of building that relationship. Will Spires and Kelly Ferrari Mills have some observations in song about that, and so do Barry Phillips and David Jones, as they explain in “Divine Nature and the Fall Feasts.”

And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so.
#genesis 1:11
What came first, the tree or the nut? We can't say from this verse. The earth sprouting the plants could imply the existence of seeds embedded in the soil, or it could be that the first generation of plants were created directly from dirt just like man.
Lily Portion for Today:
Ladies, face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, and insight. Remember, when you do the best you can, you never know what miracle is wrought in your life, or in the life of one of your family.
Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns
Look to the horizon; there is a new day dawning. It is a day that gives you the opportunity to choose how you respond. It will either be positive or negative. You can either rise to new heights or plunge to lower depths. You can allow Me to be part of your day or not, says the Lord. Choose wisely. Romans 6:16 Do you not realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living.
Are Saturday's attacks on Israel prophesied in the Bible? What should we be watching for next? In any case, this is not a time to freak out and turn inward. This is a time to rise up, have courage, and be a mouthpiece for our mighty God, that many would turn to Him before it’s too late.
Genesis 3:5, “So Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.” More than 900 years after Adam heard the words in Genesis 2:17,”but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.” The process of death in creation begins in Genesis 3 as our Creator begins to hand out the punishment for disobedience and curse the ground which Adam was formed from. We are create as eternal beings, not terminal beings and for believers the good news is that we have the opportunity to continue life on the New Earth in the New Jerusalem — but those who reject the Creator will spend their eternity in a lake of fire.
