Expect a Flood and Prepare

From the Worthy Brief devotion: Yesterday, in our devotional I spoke of the two rains in Israel, the early rain and the latter rain.

God doesn’t need us. Nope. He doesn’t. There is nothing He needs from us. 33Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

This is a little long, but worth the read. From Josh McDowell and Ben Bennett: Whether you are regarded as somebody or nobody in your family, job, school, or church, you are somebody to God.

Location, Location, Location

That famous mantra of real estate agents - "location, location, location" - has been around a long time. Whether business or home, the location matters.
