What is Your Field?
“She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard” (Proverbs 31:16).

Let Me Pray for You

Live Like Wildflowers
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe…
