Meaning of JUTE

This town is currently called Yattã (Yuttã) and is located on a shallow elevation, about 9 km southwest of Hebron.

Some have suggested that Juta could be the city in the mountainous country of Judah where Mary went to visit Elizabeth (Lk. 1:39). The most widespread assumption is that Hebron was Elizabeth's city, although it is unknown where John the Baptist was born.

When we learn His purposes and make them our prayers, we are giving Him the opportunity to act.

The Rope of Prayer

David Jeremiah

Daniel was a man who communicated with heaven. He prayed fervently, consistently, and for the will of God. He knew nothing of praying only before meals, at bedtime, and when he really needed God’s help.

Depression is apt to turn us away from the ordinary commonplace things of God's creation

The Initiative Against Depression

Oswald Chambers

A human being is capable of depression, otherwise there would be no capacity for exaltation. There are things that are calculated to depress, things that are of the nature of death; and in taking an estimate of yourself, always take into account the capacity for depression.
