We live in auspicious times.  The darkness may be getting darker BUT – halleluYAH! – the LIGHT is getting LIGHTER!  (Isaiah 60:2) As the Lord sent a servant of His to tell me some years back, at my weakest physical point, near death, “The best is yet to come!”  And it’s been getting better ever since!  (Had [...]

I was just thinking about sin the other day while reading Isaiah. I started to think… we take sin way too lightly! We take advantage of God’s grace perhaps without even recognizing it! I was reading Isaiah 65:2-5 and noticed how deliberately God’s chosen people sinned against Him. Go read it. And read the whole book [...]

INTRODUCTION When I was a baby Christian, a Bible teacher was inquiring which books we would like to study. I chimed in, “Isaiah!” His comment, however, was in the negative, saying it was a lot of dry history and judgments. That was certainly not my take on the prophet. Even as young in the Lord as I [...]

My precious granddaughter’s name is “Hephzibah”. It’s a beautiful name but it isn’t simple and it isn’t convenient. When people first hear it, they want it re-pronounced, spelt, and explained. But the meaning is lovely: “my delight is in her”. Would every child know that their parents delight in them! God placed this name in [...]

What could possibly motivate an everyday couple to adopt a child? And if someone else I know adopts a child, but I do not feel led to do the same, what business is that to me as a Christian? Listen to how God has been speaking to specific people in Liveoak Bible Church out of Romans 15:1-14, [...]

Let my mind be stayed on Thee To keep me in Thy perfect peace O Yahweh Shalom, my Shalom Let me have the mind of Christ To be Thine instrument of peace. O Yahweh Shalom, my Shalom. I will rest in Thee I will rest in Thee I will rest in Thee Who keeps me In Thy [...]

Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up your hands toward him for the life of your young children, that faint for hunger at the head of every street. (Lamentations 2:19) LET THE CHILDREN There is a sinister, ugly spirit, a [...]

Rev 4:6 I decided to take up a generous offer from my dear, generous friend to stay at her lake house. For a couple days before Christmas, I was up here alone with the Lord. I spent much time writing but I have also relaxed outside under the blue sky communing with Abba and enjoying [...]

I’ll kick off my Biblefox blog with a topic that’s been on my mind a lot recently. The lovely topic of…singleness.  Ah…singleness…  Yes, for those of you who don’t know me, I am single. And throughout the past 5 years or so, I’ve been on a roller coaster regarding this part of my life.  Sometimes [...]

Apparently, according to my Archaeological Study Bible, the ‘wild ox’ in Job 39:9 is probably an extinct type of wild cattle called an aurochs. They were much larger than most domesticated cows. According to Wikipedia, they went extinct in 1627 AD. Wikipedia also says:

The wild-ox called re’em (Strong’s # 07214) in the Bible (Numbers 23:22 and 24:8, Deuteronomy [...]

1 A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit… 4 …He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked . Isaiah 11:1,4

Justice and Mercy. Our Messiah reigns with his Justice and Mercy. Isaiah prophesied [...]

In verse 10, the Lord arises in all His majesty to bring judgment on sinners: ” Now I will arise,” says Yahweh; “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.” This is a scary thing for those who are under the Lord’s wrath. The sinners tremble at His coming. In the past, I [...]

Genesis 1:27  -  God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. What a good thing to recognize that God not only created us, but created us in his own image .  I recently read part of a book called Designed for Dignity . It was good in that it really stressed [...]

Isaiah 58:12 Some of you will rebuild… you will be called the repairer of broken walls, the restorer of streets where people live. We sat at a café this morning sipping cappuccinos and a latte talking.  It might have been just another day in the life of this coffee loving girl except that Blanca was also [...]

While Blanca is posting all sorts of information on the countries we will be visiting or pertinent information like finally getting our flights booked, the blogs I have been composing in my head all seem to fall under the category of the Liz Embarrassment Hour.  For some reason, I can’t seem to write without sharing [...]
