exodus:
who is on the lord's side
KJB Daily Devotion – Following Jesus Through Every Chapter Date: Thursday, January 28, 2016 Chapters: Exodus 31-33 Message: Exodus: Who Is On The LORD'S Side Hello My Friend, Many people proclaim to be faithful to God when things are going well, but the true test comes when He seems no where to be found.

In a modern day parable, brothers Sukhi (the optimist) and Dukhi (the pessimist) set off down the road just as a flock of birds swoop in. And just like that, Sukhi is wiping his head with his handkerchief. Seeing this, Dukhi asks, "why are you smiling with that mess on your head? You should be irritated!" Sukhi answers, "I smile because I thank God. I thank God for not making buffaloes fly!" We may not call that particular... (more)
