Do you want to be transformed to be more like Jesus, yet at times you find yourself being sucked in to the ways of the world?

Here is a quick word picture to encourage you to let that true transformation happen, by the grace of God.

I tried to livestream a quick podcast to Facebook yesterday, but I'm not sure it went up live. Thankfully, I was able to grab a video off my computer, and I reposted that video on FB, YouTube and LinkedIn, and I'm sharing it here on the Manna From My Father's Hand Podcast.

There's a quick word for my podcast, called "Intoxication or Transformation?", and then there was some time to pray for those who are going through literal and figurative storms right now, especially for those in FL yesterday who were enduring this huge hurricane Milton and are now recovering.

Praying continually for all in FL, NC, Tennessee and the surrounding areas who have been affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. May God watch over each of you, and be a hedge of protection, body, soul and spirit.

Feel free to leave any prayer requests in the comments section for you or loved ones.

Are you contented with the way that God made you?

Here is a story of a little bird that seemed to be trying to be something he was not.

How often is that happening in our world?

Have you ever had such a bird frequent your hummingbird feeder?

Ever wondered if the Bible gives any clear direction about discerning the will of God? This week's Manna From My Father's Hand podcast explores that question as it relates to the many decisions we face daily.

This podcast was recorded earlier in the week, when the weather forecast was quite threatening. As it is ready to be posted now, the forecast seems to be getting more promising, Hallelujah!

Still praying for His perfect will.

Please do let me know how I can be praying for you in the decisions you may need to be making.

The featured song this week (He Leadeth Me) is from the "Painter of the Heavens" CD, available through Loving Grace Ministries. https://lovinggrace.org
