The Babylonian Ambassadors came to King Hezekiah in Israel to give him gifts for they had heard he had been sick. Hezekiah showed them all the treasures in the Temple and government treasuries! He gave them a tour of all his stuff! Isaiah inquired after they left and asked the king who were these people and what did they want? After Isaiah learned who they were he warned the King he had made a grave error! He told the King the following generations would be taken captive to Babylon as slaves and all their wealth carried away! Pride before the fall? It is good to give a testimony to people for how God has blessed you! However some will become jealous and try to steal your goods! Sometimes treasures can draw the wrong people into your life! If you have a loyal faithful friend when you were poor they will be faithful when you are rich! Someone like Jesus! Remember Job after he lost it all? Miserable friends! God recovered Job! The real treasures God has given us can never be taken away! We have this treasure in earthen vessels! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

Miracles!
In those parts of the world where learning and science have prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in those parts that are barbarous and ignorant, miracles are still vogue! Ethen Allen (1738-1789) Comment; This was also my experience those three years we spent in India back in the 1980’s! When we did ministry in the very remote villages where there were no medical doctors or hospitals and we could then only trust God for Miracles to heal the sick and dying! Guess what? Christ came through and mighty works were performed by God! I will never forget this lesson! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
