Rachel's Tears
Describes the holy, inconsolable grief of Rachel over the loss of her children to captivity and deportation. Matthew calls upon this holy grief to describe the horror of the murder of children in Bethlehem by Herod the Great.
It is also the hope that God gives Rachel, the mothers of captivity, and the mothers of Bethlehem of a future reunion and restoration; that one day her children will finally come home.

If you were to view the back side of a woven tapestry, you would probably be able to make out certain shapes, weaving techniques, and some semblance of theme in the workmanship of the art. You might be able to vaguely discern organization . . .
I frequently tell my wife that I would not want to raise children today. It seems like the world has turned so very brutal, divisive, and malicious. Hate and vitriol have taken . . .
I admit it. I worry about the weight of the cross I carry for the Lord. Is it too light - am I not fully contributing? Is it too heavy - am I doing half-hearted work? Are my efforts meaningless . . .
It’s Monday morning and there is a devotional to finish. As you read, your mind drifts to the piles of work waiting for you in the office and you glaze over the paragraph you just read for a third time . .

Enoch 15:10 – [Spirits] They shall cause lamentation. No food shall they eat; and they shall be thirsty. They shall be concealed and shall not rise up against the sons of men, and against women; for they come forth during the days of slaughter and destruction.
