Coincidences in Scripture?

Do you believe in coincidences or miracles?
Just recently, our family had a miracle happen. Seriously…a miracle. My brain really wanted to chalk it up to coincidence. So, I have intently been digging into scripture. I am not seeing any documentations of coincidences throughout the Bible. The only remotely close wording of coincidence is in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. In Luke 11:31 Jesus says:” Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he came to the place and saw him, passed by the other side.” But on the other hand, there are COUNTLESS Miracles recorded through scripture….COUNTLESS.
What is a coincidence? According to the Webster dictionary the word “coincidence’ means “the occurrence of events that happen at the same time by ACCIDENT but seem to have some connection”
What is a miracle? According to the Webster dictionary the word “miracle” means
an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs.
The key word here is ACCIDENT. So let’s walk through my family’s situation and see if it is a coincidence or a miracle.
My husband has been having neck pain for the past several months…he has missed out on some work, time with family, and has not been able to do daily activities that he normally can do. Riding in a car was even uncomfortable for him! The pain has been off and on for quite some time, but was exasperated after he was throwing the Frisbee for our dog (I know sounds silly). The pain finally got really unbearable so he went to a Chiropractor who referred him to our primary care doctor who ordered x-rays and MRI.
We really just figured it was going to be pinched nerve that would need some time to heal. But when my husband got off the phone call from our doctor, his eyes were as wide as saucers. His report was alarming: don’t do anything, take it easy, you need to be laying around, you will need surgery, you have a displaced spinal cord, your neck is bone on bone, your disc is herniated, we are referring you to an orthopedic specialist.
In an instant, our lives were changed. We immediately asked for prayer from all of our friends. We started to talk about arrangements for surgery, getting time off work, studying recovery time, studying the operation approach. We had an appointment with the orthopedic specialist within one week.
In the meantime, my husband’s pain got worse, platitude, and then reduced…down… to… nothing. Zero…no pain.
We went to the specialist appointment. He did some physical tests on my husband, ordered a few x-rays, and he read the MRI report to us: displaced spinal cord, herniated disc. It seemed as though one wrong move and my husband would be paralyzed!
But then he said; I don’t see any of that on the MRI. He was confused because he knows the radiologist and has worked with him many times. He said and it would be uncharacteristic of the radiologist to read the MRI wrong. The orthopedic surgeon said that my husband’s spinal cord looked good…it looked really good. He said my husband might have a slight bulging disc but nothing to warrant a shot to ease the pain and certainly not emergency surgery.
My husband’s strength was back. He was not in pain. The MRI did not show any displacement or bone on bone.
I cannot agree with the notion that my husband’s healing was by accident or coincidence. The fact is that my husband had pain and the MRI had shown significant concerns. We then asked for prayer. The prayer was not an accident; we asked for an intervention. Therefore, this was not a coincidence that his MRI did not show significant concerns….it was a Miracle. You may ask how? I will cite Psalms 135:6
6 Whatever the LORD pleases, he does,
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all deeps.
So, the next time you are questioning whether something was a coincidence or a miracle…remember there are no coincidences in the Bible so then we can conclude that there are no coincidences in our lives. Praise Jesus!

Not Shaken!
I wouldn’t say that I am overly sentimental, but there are a few things that I do treasure. One is a rock garden in my yard. It took years to build! No kidding, it has taken…. Years…. To… Build.
I can remember, when my boys were little, and we would go on adventure hikes in our woods and down to the creek. There, we would carefully examine all the treasures that we would find in the creek bed. The boys would run up to me, with their sweet little hands, FILLED with rocks and sand. They would show me the special treasure they just found. Then quickly place it in my backpack only to run off to find more rocks. I used to carry the rocks up in my pockets and in my hands...but I found it much more efficient to just bring a backpack down to the creek ( that’s a free mom tip: always bring an old back pack).
When we arrived home, we would wash the rocks off and carefully put each one in the garden…I found that a rock garden was much more practical then rocks on their dresser, bed, window sills, in the washing machine, or on the kitchen table (mom tip #2: rocks stay outside).
If you look hard enough, we have a few “gems” hidden in all the rocks. They are little amethyst and quartz. No, we did not find them at the creek. Rather, they came from a vacation spot that we went to years ago. There was a display where you could “mine for gems”. You paid a certain amount of money and then you took your sack of goodies over to the sluicing box to separate your treasure from the gravel. It really just felt like I was back in the gold rush out west! Can you picture it?
Sluices are those long, narrow boxes that water passes through. You use a shaking motion when you are running your bag of treasures through the sluice box. The running water helps separate the gravel from the larger pieces of rock. The shaking action, along with the running water and specialized box, removes the gravel. You are then left with the “gems”!
Gems are talked about throughout scripture. There are references to Emeralds, Rubies , Diamonds and Pearls. In fact, after a quick search, I came up with 22 different gems found throughout scriptures.
The Kingdom of God is often talked about as a treasure or gem in scripture. I can’t help but to see the scene of my children working diligently to reveal their treasures by shaking the sluice box. The end result being their treasured gems; in other words: the Kingdom of God…which can not be shaken out of the sluice box.
The author of Hebrews wrote about the unshakable kingdom that we have received.
“So, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us give thanks, and through this let us offer worship pleasing to God in devotion and awe” -Hebrews 12:28
When David says “He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I will not be shaken.”-Psalm 62:6 David is claiming confidence that he KNOWS he will not be separated from God. In other words, being shaken is not an EMOTIONAL response of David, rather a PROMISE from God. God will not shake David out of the sluice box. He is a treasure to God.
The Kingdom of God cannot be shaken out of the sluice…it will remain. Isn’t that great news?!?! So the next time you are sitting in the sand box with your child, sifting through the sand or draining your noodles and shaking the extra water off, or spot a rock on the ground…remember the unshakable Kingdom we have through Christ Jesus that cannot be removed.
If you are unsure about your relationship with Christ, or would like to know more about the unshakeable Kingdom of God please message us. We would love to pray with you.

$20.00 Fraud

It’s baseball season…and I love it! I love watching my boys and their teammates play. I love seeing them mature and improve in their skills and knowledge of the game. I can remember, not so long ago, seeing the boys picking dandelions in the outfield, chasing a butterfly, or sitting down, legs crossed, to draw a picture in the dirt only to miss tagging the kid running to the base. If you have a kid that has played baseball…you know exactly what I am talking about!
Now we are on to a new phase in baseball. I call it the “wooden- leg” phase. It’s the phase in life when my sheer purpose in existing is to feed the wooden leg that my two teenage boys have managed to grow! You know, the proverbial wooden leg that seems to hold all the food they manage to inhale but do not seem to gain an ounce of weight…only height. Yes, they have those legs now. And those wooden legs NEVER are full! So, now my routine is going down the checklist of things they need for the baseball game: gloves, uniforms, water, and a $20.00 bill (to help with the emergency cravings those wooden legs create).
Once or twice a year, there will be a warning from our local law enforcement that there are some counterfeit $20.00 bills that have been found locally. I am not sure if I have ever encountered one or if I have passed one on to my boys. I bet I wouldn’t even notice if I did receive one. In fact, I bet it is getting harder and harder to spot a counterfeit bill.
Why is it getting harder and harder to spot a counterfeit bill? It could be because the criminals are getting more and more advanced in their fraudulent practices, but I really don’t like giving a criminal more credit than they deserve. Perhaps… think about it for a moment…maybe it’s because we rely so much on our credit cards, debit cards, Venmo accounts, PayPal account, etc. to pay for services and products we buy. Therefore, we do not have much interaction with genuine good old-fashioned paper money. So, it could be that we really wouldn’t be able to spot the counterfeit bill if our life depended on it.
With this thought (that we have gotten away from authentic paper money) it prompts me to think that maybe..just maybe.. some of us have gotten away from getting fed by the word of God. We have come to rely on a certain author we follow, podcast we listen to, or preacher we tune into.

Don’t get me wrong, reading an author, listening to a podcast, or tuning into a preacher is not bad…in fact it can be complementary to the Word of God. The key word here is RELY. Are you relying on these avenues to have a relationship with God? Are you relying on these avenues to interpret the scripture for you? If so, you will be in danger of falling into the trap that Paul warns of in 2 Timothy 4:3.
“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,”

When Paul uses the words “accumulate for themselves”, I envision our stacks and stacks of books on our book shelves or podcasts in our phones that are drenched with authors and speakers interpreting the Word of God.

So how do we determine if our archive of interpretations of God’s Word is True and Authentic? We actually need to read the word of God for ourselves. Here is the thing, the fraud specialist does not spend hours a day reading about how to determine if a $20.00 is authentic. They actually STUDY an AUTHENTIC $20.00 bill; feeling the weight and texture, looking at the markings in low light, testing how it reacts to water, holding it up to a light to reveal the hidden securities.
I would encourage you to pick up the Bible and read God’s word. You will then be SURE to know when you have been presented a counterfeit Gospel.
If you need help getting in the word of God, please message us. We would love to pray with you. His word is True…Transformational…Loving….Hopeful….and Everlasting.

I am so thankful for MD Orthopaedics and their partnership with On His Path. Without their support, we would not be able to send out components that complement the donated shoes we receive. We receive donated boots every week, but very rarely do we receive the Ponseti Bar. To complete the bracing phase of the Ponseti Clubfoot Treatment patients need Boots AND Bars. With these 4 components, those in developing countries, can make a simple bar of metal into a bar to help with the bracing process in the Ponseti treatment of clubfoot.
We have begun a relationship with Veronica, a volunteer parent advocate from Costa Rica. Well…parent advocate is probably an understatement! A description for Veronica would probably be more like a super- hero- tribe- leader- relentless-champion -for -treatment- of- clubfoot- and -proud-promoter- of- The- Ponseti- Method; but you probably couldn’t put that all on one business card, could you?
Veronica got ahold of On His Path because her son, Royer is in the bracing phase and desperately needed help with getting shoes and braces for her little one. As all clubfoot mommas do; she also had a tribe of mommas that needed help due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and she could not go without advocating for them as well!
Praise the Lord for donors of these shoes! Praise the Lord for MD Orthopaedics! Praise the Lord for Veronica and her team of clubfoot parents that are refusing to settle for subpar clubfoot treatment. We are Praying for you!
“But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary of doing good.” 2 Thessalonians 3:13
This battle to eradicate untreated clubfoot is hard, but we are praying the whole way! We pray that God’s salvation, through Jesus Christ, can be glorified by the unwavering love and faith of those that are helping with this ministry.
If you would like to come alongside this ministry, please visit our website and donate to our clubfoot initiatives. 100% of your donation goes to treatment of clubfoot using the gold standard: Ponseti Method.

FEET AND TOES
Have you noticed that feet and toes are such a big deal when you are a parent to a new baby? Seriously, the first thing people say after they have a child is that they counted 10 little fingers and 10 little toes.
I agree, feet and toes ARE a big deal. One of my favorite things about being a new mom was kissing my boys’ feet. I can remember bringing their sweet little feet up to my face and giving them kisses. In return, they would give me a giggle and a smile. So, I would do it again, knowing that my reward would again be a perfect giggle and a smile. (On a side note: Now that they are teenagers, I would not kiss their sweaty, stinky feet if you paid me to! Time changes everything!!!)
But I was reminded today, that this is not the reality of ALL parents that have children. Especially, parents of children with clubfoot. Feet and toes actually can bring anxiety, uncertainty, questioning, and heartache to a new parent of a child with clubfoot.
At On His Path, we want to continue to bring the hope of the Gospel to parents and children impacted by clubfoot. Again and again the scripture of John 9:9:1-3 comes to mind.
“As He(Jesus) passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. “
At On His Path, we strongly believe that with Trust in who Jesus is and faith in God our father, the works of God might be displayed in those that have clubfoot; so that others can be brought to belief of Jesus Christ as their Savior.
Here is a short story from a clubfoot momma that shows the encouragement of someone else’s healing. I have grown to love this momma, she is inspiring, and continues to persevere. She is always seeking God’s goodness.
“When Gaia was about 5 months old, she was in her first set of boots that were required for 23 hours per day. We live in a coastal town in Italy; so, beach life is the entire summer. Everyone, of all ages, swims nonstop in the water. I was so devastated that Gaia would not get to enjoy her toes in the sand for more than an hour a day. But we made that one hour really special!
One day, as I was sitting at a coffee bar, I noticed a father with his two -year -old son. The father was massaging and caressing his child’s feet incessantly with such joy, might I add. He repeatedly brushed his fingers over the tiny toes. This sweet scene made me sad, yet again, it was just a reminder of the reality I was in with Gaia…in her boots…23 hours a day. But something about the way the father continued to play with his son’s feet made me ask him why he so loved his baby's feet? He confessed that he was indeed really obsessed with the tiny feet of his son. This was because his older daughter had been born with two clubfeet. He recalled having to spend all days and nights massaging her feet for medical purposes. He now was able to massage his son’s feet just because he wanted to.
He said, 'She is seven now...there she is...' and he pointed to a lovely girl with long brown hair....RUNNING. He called her over, and of course, she ran up to me! I looked at her perfect feet while holding my own little baby that had her boots and bars on. At that moment, I KNEW that this scene was a blessing from God.”
Do you see that?!?! God loves us so much that He allows His mighty works to be displayed at a coffee bar! Praise Jesus. We would love for God’s goodness to be displayed all over the world. If you would like to come along the clubfoot ministry, please message us.

Planting Careful Instructions
I have been trying my hand at landscaping. Each year, I am able to add more plants around my house. I have come to LOVE planning, planting, splitting, and rearranging my various flowers and plants. In fact, my newest endeavor is bringing some height to my landscaping. So, for Mother’s Day I got two beautiful Korean Lilac tress. My biggest reward is to see them in full bloom!
Mother’s Day was very windy and rainy this year. We had just planted my trees. When I peered out the window, I could see my trees leaning waaaay to the right whenever the wind blew. They would kind of bounce back into an upright position when the wind stopped, but then would quickly lean to the right when the wind picked up.
I knew, since these trees had just been planted the day before, that they were not even close to being established. They were no match against the wind. My husband was able to go out, examine the trees and then but braces up to help the trees stay upright.
Although I wouldn’t say I have a green thumb, I would say that I have learned to care for plants much better then when I was younger. I use to get a plant, dig a hole, plant the plant, and walk away. I would get discouraged because the plants that I had were not surviving. I really thought that I had a black thumb.
What I found, was that I really did not have a black thumb and my success in planting had nothing to do with me being older now. Rather, it had to do with the teaching that I got in planting.
I can remember that my aunt came over to our house, she had two sacks FULL of plants from her garden. She explained which each plant was, showed me a good place to plant them, showed me how to loosen the root ball, dig the hole, how to crumble the dirt finely around the roots, how to get the air pockets away from the roots and water the plant; so its root system acclimated to the new environment. She was right next to me; side by side when I was planting.
Every time I plant a new part of my landscaping, I think of each and every step that my aunt showed me. I love shaking the extra dirt off the root ball, loosening it, spreading the roots out in the hole, and carefully covering the root system up. I love watering the new plant and stomping out the air pockets.
This reminds me of Colossians 2:6-7:
“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.”
The author of Colossians (whether it is Paul or Timothy I do not know) uses language that I can relate to gardening. The author gives a command to walk in him(Jesus); follow his(Jesus) teachings. Drawing all your knowledge and worldview from Jesus. I really can’t help to see that it points towards mentorship. Just as my aunt mentored me in planting.
So if you want beautiful, healthy, plants and flowers you would not just dig a hole, plant the plant and walk away, just as you would not do that with your faith in Christ. No, you need someone to come along side you and help you become established, water every day, stomp out the air pockets, shake the dirt from your root ball, and encourage you to grow your root system strong so it can hold up on its own when a windy storm like Mother’s Day comes.
So, my question to you is do you have a spiritual mentor? Are you mentoring someone else? If not, I would challenge you to seek someone out to be your mentor and to mentor someone else. Someone you can walk side by side with. Your reward will be beautiful blooms of spiritual fruit! If you need prayer, please message us.

Sinking Sand

I would not have believed it, if I hadn’t seen it with my own two eyes. My husband and I stood in disbelief, gazing out of a large double pane window; the kind of window that goes from floor to ceiling and one end of the room to other. Straight out in front of us was the beautiful view of the mighty Mississippi River(that is the whole purpose of the these large picture windows throughout the house). It was raining out, but we could clearly see all away across the river.
It’s calming to watch the water go by and the occasional traffic of a tugboat and barge. But when we looked down, we could see where the earth had given way from the foundation of the house. There was a 24 foot drop where there use to be a yard. Apparently, this once stunning and admired house has now begun to slide off the cliff it once was securely built on. Yes, that is right, slide off the cliff!
This home and the people that lived in the home have made a significant impact in my life. The couple that lived there were my parents’ best friends. So, our families grew up together. The two couples (including my parents) have since passed away…we lost one after another over a four-year period. As you can imagine, standing there, looking at this large hole had an impact on me for many reasons.
When you buy a house, there is often the promise of a nest egg or security for future generations. That is what the hope was when this house was bought. It would provide some security for the family. But looking at that hole, I saw nothing…no nest egg…no assurance…nothing.
When I think of Matthew 7:24-27, where Jesus talks about building your house on a rock versus sand, I envision one single storm coming and it wiping the house out.
24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
But that is not what happened with this house my husband and I were standing in. It took years for the house to get to the point that it is at now. It was a slow drip from underneath the ground that chipped away at the security of the earth. No one even noticed the condition of the house. That was until they were getting ready to put it on the market to be sold. Then a housing inspector came and discovered a large cavernous hole. I believe it was described as a 24 foot drop with a 9 foot cavern under the earth.
Just as this house did not have concerns until the housing inspector came, many doctrines we can follow don’t seem to be concerning until we hold them up to scripture. Paul pleads time after time: to follow the pattern of sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus -2 Timothy 1:13. You can see how he weeds through false teachings in the book of Galatians. It is noteworthy, to point out, these teachings were not coming from the world, but INSIDE the church. That is right, these false teachings were coming from leaders of churches. So, I implore to you today, just as the apostle John did in 1 John 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Test everything people say, hold it up to scripture. The shifting of the sand can take time to impact someone, it can look like you are built up on the secure Rock. But once you inspect it, you might find its not on rock at all.
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 2:2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified…notice there is nothing added to this; no works and then salvation, no water baptism and then salvation, no rules to follow and then salvation…just belief of who Jesus Christ is and what him being crucified meant for our Salvation.
So, I ask you today are you sure that your foundation is solid? Do you have a secure future because of Jesus? If you need prayer or would like to further discuss the assurance of eternal life with God please message us.

Clubfoot Mommas:
I have such an admiration for moms of children with clubfoot. I can not even begin to describe the dedication, perseverance, and love that a clubfoot mom shows; not only to her child, but the community of other children and moms of clubfoot. I see your diligence to follow the Ponseti Method, your adaptability in your day to day life for things that I took for granted when I had babies. I bet you wish you could simply put your child in a car seat without having to over think it, use the footy pajamas you got at your baby shower, nurse without getting wacked with a bar, or change a diaper quickly.
As a mom, I love the following scripture:
“But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.” Luke 2:19

I can just imagine, after she gave birth to Jesus and heard from others that He was the King they have been waiting for she held those words close and deep in her heart. She had to hold those deep and close to her heart because I am sure she had doubt. She probably doubted that she was fit to be the mother of the King.

Days will be hard for you, I bet some nights will be harder. I am not a clubfoot mom, so I am not going to pretend to understand. I cannot imagine what it would be like to be a clubfoot mom..with all the questions and uncertainty. Yet, I wanted to give you these scriptures to encourage you; they are ones treasured up in my heart and I pray that they are a blessing to you:

It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”- Deuteronomy 3:18

Do you hear that? God has this journey! He is going before you on this journey. Because of this you do not have to fear. He will be with you and will never leave you.
And
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. -Philippians 4:8
Treasure up those times that God shows up. Treasure up your community, the perseverance that your child has, the encouragement you get from other mommas..the first time your child stands up with his or hers boots and bars on. The first night they sleep through the night. When you finally get the trick down to change a diaper and can pass that along to another mom. Treasure those things up so that you can get through the tough times.

At On His Path, please know we are praying for you. If you need encouragement on this journey, please message us. We would love to pray with you.

What happens if you ask for help and its no help at all?
I can remember a couple of years ago, my twin sons and their friend were playing ball in the basement. They know not to rough house in the basement. Because of this, years ago they invented a game called “puppy football”. They made this game up to get around the rules of “no rough housing” and “no throwing balls in the house”. They have even adapted the game for baseball. They essentially are running on their knees on the carpet and using a souvenir bat and a ball made of aluminum foil. I love it! They are totally my children…always looking for a loophole.
I believe that they were playing “puppy baseball” that day. I was up in the kitchen, when their friend came to me and said his toe hurt.
A quick assessment: He wasn’t crying, they were not rough housing, and there was no blood. So what did I do? I put a small..pink..Band-Aid on his toe…and sent him on his way! If you have a little child, you know Band-Aids ALWAYS help! They played until his mom picked him up. I mentioned the incident to her, but it was just in passing.
The next day, I get a picture of this little boy sitting in an EXAMINATION chair at a DOCTOR’s office and the caption said:” he broke his toe, waiting to see if he will need surgery”.
What in the world?!?! Surgery?!?! How did we get to this place?!?!
Throughout the book of Proverbs there are contrasts between seeking counsel from the Wise and the fool. Who are the wise? Who are the fools? The wise are not scholars with PhD written behind their names, rather they follow the instruction of God. The fools are not drop outs of high school, rather they are those who despise the instruction of God. The wise can actually be a high school dropout and the fool can actually have a PhD.
“And now, O sons, listen to me:
blessed are those who keep my ways.
Hear instruction and be wise,
and do not neglect it.
Blessed is the one who listens to me,
watching daily at my gates,
waiting beside my doors.
For whoever finds me finds life
and obtains favor from the LORD,
but he who fails to find me injures himself;
all who hate me love death.”-Proverbs 8:32-36
The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
but the mouths of fools pour out folly. -Proverbs 15:2
The danger in just following anyone is that the fool ACTUALLY THINKS that they are giving good advice. Just as I thought I was giving good care to the little boy’s toe. A fool will never discourage you from following them. Proverbs 12:15 points this out: “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice”.
I would encourage you to see where you are getting your advice from. Are they people of wisdom (those who follow the instruction of our Lord) or are they people that are foolish (those that follow the world)? Those that follow the instruction of our Lord and those that follow the instruction of the world have two distinct outcomes. One is blessed and wise and the other is said to love death.
When you are seeking advice, ask yourself: are you getting a pink Band-Aid when you really need a doctor? Are you getting True help when you need it? I would challenge you and say if you are getting advice from a non-believer, you are settling for a Pink Band-Aid.
Proverbs 13:20 says: Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
