When the test or trials feels like a chaotic whirlwind, Isaiah 26:3–4 serves as a beautiful anchor for our souls. “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength.” It is so easy to let our eyes fixate on our circumstances, the weight of our problems, or the endless noise of earthly...  Read More

It is so easy to get caught up in the weight of our daily responsibilities. We attempt to carry the load in our own strength. When life feels a bit too serious or overwhelming, Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us where to anchor our hearts:"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."When we stop trying to fi...  Read More

As we approach the upcoming midterm election season, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the noise, the debates, and the constant stream of candidate advertising. During times like these, it is incredibly valuable for us to step back, anchor ourselves in God’s Word, and remember where our ultimate hope lies.The Scriptures remind us that prayer isn't a passive response, but a powerful action. In 1 Ti...  Read More

In every decision we face, it is so easy to find ourselves trying to rush ahead to the outcome before God makes the timing and the direction clear. We place our own thoughts into the equation and want so badly to see the completion of things, but God reminds us in Isaiah 55:8-9 that His thoughts are higher than ours and His ways are better than anything we could plan.When anxious thoughts start to...  Read More

“Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it?” – Isaiah 43:19aFor some, change brings excitement. For me, it often brings an “Uh oh”. Change can be uncomfortable because it pulls us out of what’s familiar. But that’s not always bad.Often, change is where God reaches our hearts and leads us into growth. It may not always feel easy, but in Him there is always good...  Read More

Today, while I was praying for the beloved at Jubilee, I felt the weight of those in long-term tests and the exhaustion that comes when a promise feels delayed for years. It’s easy to feel like our faith must be a “mountain of strength” to see a “mountain moved”. But I wanted to remind you that even when your natural ability to "hold on" feels gone, you can simply lean on the character of Jesus. H...  Read More

“Take; this is my body…This is my blood of the [new] covenant, which is poured out for many.” – Mark 14:22-24“Do this in remembrance of me.” – Luke 22:19When Jesus told his followers to eat his flesh and drink his blood (see John 6:47-58), a lot of people jumped off the "Jesus-is-the-Messiah" train. Their response was honest: “This is a hard, offensive saying; who can understand it?” – John 6:60Ho...  Read More

While reading James 5 this week, during our “Know Him” reading, verse 19 jumped out at me: “...if anyone among you wanders from the truth.” I often thought of wandering as a dramatic exit into sin, but it can be far more subtle. It is the moment we stop being intentional and drift back into relying on our own flesh—our own logic, strength, and effort—thinking we are walking in the Spirit when we a...  Read More

I would like to take a moment to encourage everyone who is participating in the Know Him Bible Reading Plan. To those who have been reading daily—stay the course. The time you spend in the Word of God, the five Chapters a day, is never in vain. As John 6:63 reminds us, it is the Spirit who gives life and the Words I speak to you are Spirit and Life. By consistently immersing yourself in the Script...  Read More

Last week, in the quiet moments of my Sabbath rest, while I was away from the noise and the constant "doing for God and the church ", God began to whisper a truth that my busy heart often misses. Our life of faith is less about a climb and more about a current. We often approach our lives with a checklist of efforts, believing that if we pray harder, listen longer, or work better, we will finally ...  Read More

As believers in Jesus, we know we are called to encourage one another—to stir up love and good works and to strengthen each other, as we navigate our day. Multiple times, in Hebrews Chapters 3 and 4, the Lord urges us: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart”. A hard heart has doubts and unbelief.Today, the Lord performed a gentle heart check-up on me. I was listening to a brother ...  Read More
