They had put God in a box… They failed to remember and
Most of us know that we should constantly pray—But many—if not most—of us would confess we don't pray as often as we should. When we do not pray, we limit what God might do in our lives. Some may not like the sound of this, but if it were not true, what could James mean when he writes, “You do not have, because you do not ask God” (James 4:2)
God has given us His Church which is the body of Christ here on this earth. When someone is baptized into Christ, they are baptized into the body of Christ. Through Christ we are bound together in a community of faith—Belonging to Christ we belong to each other. Fellowship with Christ means fellowship with each other.

"Walk a mile in my shoes" is a saying that became popular in the 60s, in fact there was a song entitled "Walk a mile in my shoes."

No one knows
This week’s scripture from Isaiah Chapter 60 was spoken by the prophet Isaiah hundreds of years before Jesus ever came to earth. His message was for God’s chosen through whom God chose to reveal himself, to tell them about the Messiah, the Promised One, Jesus our Savior.At the time that God gave Isaiah this message the Israelites had been enslaved in Egypt for hundreds of years.
