Yes, yes, yes. So what I needed to read and hear this morning. Thank you for breaking it down and feeding me so full of His word this day and giving us dessert to finish it off in Elevation Worship's praise session. I am full. My soul is satiated and my heart overflows with joy. Come Jesus come. My hope, my peace, my withness is in YOU...Amen šŸ™ šŸ™ šŸ’•

Andrea,

Thank you for this reflection. You are a gifted writer, and I genuinely enjoy reading what you put out. Your words invite stillness and help me slow down and see familiar truths with fresh clarity.

I also want to apologize for not responding to your recent articles. Please know that the silence is not from lack of attention. I am reading them and sitting with them, even when I do not respond right away. Some words take time to settle and do their quiet work Psalm 1:2 and Isaiah 30:15.

I am grateful for the way your writing points my heart back toward wonder, patience, and trust in what God is steadily unfolding Philippians 1:6 and Hebrews 10:23. Thank you for faithfully stewarding your voice and offering it so generously to others.

Good morning, Brother. Thank you so much for being here and for leaving such a kind comment. Please know there is truly no need to apologize. There are so many meaningful publications to read here on Substack and then there is life, which never ceases to pull at our attention.

I was away throughout much of October, and then after returning in November, felt a bit overwhelmed. Then we left again at the end of November through this past week. That rhythm has made it difficult to catch up on most of my reading. And in all honesty, I’ve been a slow reader all my life so it often takes me time to read.

I’m grateful these words met you. This year, I’ve been spending much time in the book of Isaiah, and this word feels especially rich and timely for the season we are in. The Lord is truly speaking to us and loving us through His Word; a perpetual feast, with bread more than enough to spare. Amen.

ā§

He is faithful to satisfy us with His very life, and in Him we will never hunger again. ā€œFor He satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul He fills with good things.ā€ Ps 107v9. May the Lord continue to bless you and your familyšŸ™šŸ¾

Thank you, dear sister! Fresh bread from heaven truly satisfies in a way nothing else can. We are blessed that He feeds us Himself. Grateful to partake togetheršŸ™šŸ¾

Wonderful….Isaiah pointing all the way to the ā€œbread of life,ā€ the last supper, the present day and beyond.

ā€œThe cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ?ā€ 1 Cor 10:16

And… ā€œhe who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him up on the last day.ā€ John 6:54.

God’s thoughts and ways truly higher than ours! Is 55:9

So encouraging Andrea, the Word never leaves us to face hardship alone, and demonstrated this by coming to live among us!
