Scrolling mindlessly, my mind floods with the contradiction. The version I am reading starts with "How could He?" This is what I most relate... Continue Reading →
Scripture- How could he? For certainly he has never been one to know the Lord’s thoughts, or to discuss them with him, or to move the hands of God by prayer.
