Consider This
December 18
Why does it take us so many years to gain wisdom? Oh, to have grasped years ago, what I now do about the Lord. Granted in the story I'm about to share, the appearance of an angel was probably more than a gentle persuasion, it is still possible for us today to consider some things of the Lord!
