#WednesdayWalk — The Faint Cry of Hope

The room was dark. I rolled over on my mat, but the moaning, the breathing, the smell of humanity packed into this small room was too much for me. Here we were, descendants of a great king and now we had descended to this new low. Herded like cattle to be counted by some ruthless […]

#WednesdayWalk — Believing the Prophesy

The fire crackled as I watched sparks fly up into the evening sky. I stared at the faces of the men sharing the warmth of the fire with me. “You are a long way from home,” I remarked to them. They nodded in agreement. I struggled to make conversation with these visitors. I had never […]

#WednesdayWalk — Healing Touch

“Had she really been healed by just touching him?” I wondered. “Could I also be healed by just touching him?” I tried to get closer to Jesus and Jairus, but some people pushed past me and stopped in front of Jairus.

#WednesdayWalk — Just Another Man in the Desert

I was tired. Fatigue overtook my body. All I wanted was to lay on my mat in my home and hide under my blanket. Life was overtaking me. I was tired; tired of it all. Yet my friend encouraged me to go. “You have to see this man. He is like no one I’ve ever […]

#WednesdayWalk — The Hideout

The dampness in the cave chilled me to the bone. I pulled the blanket tighter around me. I looked at the faces of our haggard group of 50 survivors of this reign of terror. In the dim light of the lanterns I could see the fatigue on their faces. Yet there was an unmistakable joy […]

#WednesdayWalk — Waves of Regret

I could hear the ship creaking as it strained against the gale force winds and powerful waves. I had never seen such a violent storm in all my years sailing. Like the rest of the crew, I cried out to my god to spare us, afraid the ship was about to break apart. I gripped […]

#WednesdayWalk — Intense Faith

I could feel the heat from the blazing furnace even at this distance. The king’s anger against these men was as hot as the furnace. I had never seen anything like it. I was horrified to think that these men would be tossed into that furnace. They would be incinerated into nothing. The punishment seemed […]

#WednesdayWalk — Marketplace Faith

There was something that bothered me about setting up the table in the house of the Lord. “I don’t feel right about this,” I said to my friend. “Don’t worry,” he replied. “Look at this crowd. There’s money to be made here.” “But shouldn’t we be doing this on the street?” “Look around you. Everyone […]

#WednesdayWalk — Be Still in the Midst of Fear

The Lord has brought us this far, yet fear began to fill me again as I watched the army coming closer. “Can I just be still and trust the Lord will fight for us, for me?”

#WednesdayWalk — Too Far Gone?

All I could think about was how I squandered so much of my life, my time and my resources on worthless things. I felt like that son in the story Jesus told, the son who took all his father’s inheritance and spent it on wild living.
