The answer to the question is?….
“If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?” Jeremiah 12.5 Have you ever asked a question and the answer…

Fresh Bread (3) Feeding others..
The miracle of the feeding of the five thousand by Jesus has much to teach us today and is told in all four gospels. It’s such a well known miracle but this verse from Mark’s gospel really stood out to me. “But He (Jesus) answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.”…
