Deuteronomy 7:20 says, “Moreover the Lord thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.” While fly fishing along the Naches River, I encountered a lot of brush to battle through.

Numbers 14:9 says, “Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.” I was privileged to be with my father-in-law during his last days on earth. I even
Luke 2:49 says, “And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” One day waiting in my car, in an industrial area of Yakima, Washington, I saw a businessman walk up the cement steps to the office of a warehouse. He
