Tamar’s actions revealed her true desire to bear children for Judah and his sons. It was her right by law. When she felt that her rights were taken away from her, she took matters into her own hands. Tamar went from destitute to determined. Because of Tamar, the Abrahamic promises were fulfilled, the messianic lineage continued, and she became an ancestress to Jesus Christ. 07/11/2018

The Woman that Everyone Love to Hate: The Story of Delilah
July 25, 2018 • Lydia Davis
Delilah was motivated by money, used her looks to get what she wanted and knew how to scheme with the best of them. We cannot be motivated by money. There is more to life than the size of our bank accounts. You are a representative of the Savior and should not jeopardize our witness for the almighty dollar. You are not the only one who has mouths to feed and bills to pay. Don’t be deceived, what we do has consequences.
The Story from Pain to Purpose: The Story of Naomi
July 18, 2018 • Lydia Davis
Faith played a huge factor from beginning to end. Naomi and Elimelech demonstrated clear lack of faith when they chose to leave Bethlehem to reside in Moab. Instead of praying and waiting on God, they took matter into their own hands. God would eventually provide bread for His people. This should be a lesson for us today. He may not come when we want Him, but He is always on time (Heb. 11:1, 6)!

Miriam’s life is included in only a few scriptures, but is full of treasure. Trust God in the toughest periods of your life. They might last for longer than you’d like, but God promises never to leave or forsake you. He will deliver and when He does, it will be amazing! While on the journey apply every effort to be at peace with all men and bring glory to God.
