What was supposed to be the access to this far-flung village with only a dug well was a windy stretch of barely passable and narrow turns with ditches laden with miry clay. Getting there required grit and a resolve to keep a promise. It was amazing that such secluded spot in the wilderness produced the most important person in that local government.

?And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.? ? Judges 6: 15 (KJV)

Where you come from should not limit you.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
