Dream Interpretation 

Cindy Arora March 11, 2025

Do you neglect to record your dreams because they seem wacky to you? I did. I’m finding help from Hearing God Through Your Dreams by Charity Virkler Kayembe (see book review on January 28, 2025).

Yes, dream interpretation belongs to God. He is the One who gives us our wacky dreams in the first place. He is trying to communicate something to us. But what? . . .

Cindy Arora February 27, 2024

Perhaps the most famous passage in the book of Joel is the promise of the Holy Spirit (Joel 2:28). Peter quoted that verse . . .

Jesus, the Christ by Logan Stogner

Cindy Arora November 7, 2023

Water sloshed. Sweat poured. The bread and raisin cakes wore off hours ago, but Jacob was in too deep to quit, now. One-hundred feet above his head, cows mooed and sheep bleated. “Water!” they seemed to cry. Through the pungent air of the well, Jacob sighed.

I wonder what thoughts bubbled up in his mind. Of course, digging was difficult, but did it feel mundane? Ordinary? Dare I say, meaningless? …..

Cindy Arora December 6, 2022

I had never stopped to consider the spiritual significance of the temple being built on the threshing floor. Have you?

Solomon built the temple on Mt. Moriah where . . .

Two Silver Trumpets

Cindy Arora November 1, 2022

You may think the book of Numbers is the most repetitive and boring book of the Bible. I used to.

However, for the hungry soul, God’s Word has multiple layers of meaning. I’ve found so many hidden treasures . . .

I Bless You

Cindy Arora October 4, 2022

When you want to pronounce a formal blessing over someone, which Bible verse do you choose? I generally reach for Numbers 6:22-26 – the priestly blessing. Aaron, the high priest, spoke this blessing over the nation of Israel regularly.

Today I read in the notes . . .

Cindy Arora March 15, 2022

He loved the soil        

Cindy Arora January 18, 2022

I love the soil, just like King Uzziah of Judah did. My grandfather was a wheat farmer and a cattle rancher. As a child, I remember praying for rain to “save” the crop. Even today, tears spring to my eyes from the smell of a freshly mowed wheatfield after a rainfall.

As an adult, I had the opportunity to . . .

Standing on Tiptoe

Breath of God

Breath of God

Cindy Arora April 13, 2021

The risen Christ breathed on His disciples filling them with the Holy Spirit. We are meant to remember how God fashioned Adam from the dust of the earth and breathed life into him (Gen. 2:7). When Jesus Christ breathed on His disciples, they received a new, spiritual life in the Holy Spirit. They were born again.

In the same breath, . . .
