I woke up at about 1a.m. on Sunday 27 December 2020 with the sound of rain lashing against the windows. The UK is being battered by storm ‘Bella’ with gusting wind and driving rain.

One day, however, no one else was around when he went in to do his work. She came and grabbed him by his cloak, demanding, “Come on, sleep with me!” Joseph tore himself away, but he left his cloak in her hand as he ran from the house.

…For a multitude of the people…had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “The good Lord pardon everyone who prepareth his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.” And the Lord hearkened to HezekiahContinue reading “How is Your Heart?”
