Primary Scripture “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth.” — John 14:16–17 Jesus knew that His disciples would face uncertainty after His death, resurrection, and ascension. They had walked with Him, heard His teaching, watched Him heal, and seen His authority over sickness, storms, sin, and death. The thought of continuing without His physical presence troubled them. But Jesus did not leave th

“Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.” — Habakkuk 3:17–18 There are trials that attempt to become the loudest voice in our lives. A painful circumstance can demand our attention. A loss can make us question what remains. A delay can make us wonder wheth

Revelation The fear of God is not the anxious dread of one trying to flee from danger. It is the reverent awe of a redeemed person who has encountered the majesty, purity, mercy, and authority of God. It recognizes that He is not common, manageable, or to be approached on our own terms. Scripture calls us to love God, trust God, and draw near to God—but it never calls us to become casual with God. He is Father, yet He is holy. He is merciful, yet He is Judge. He invites us cl

Series: The Faithfulness of God: A Life Anchored in Faithfulness Scripture Reading: Psalm 36:5; Lamentations 3:22–23; Psalm 146:5–9; 2 Timothy 2:13 Key Verse “Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.”— Psalm 36:5 Who can compare to the faithfulness of God? No man. No woman. No ruler. No friend. No institution. No earthly system. Human faithfulness, even at its best, has limitations. People become tired. Circumstances change. Promises are

Scripture Reading: Lamentations 3:22–23; Psalm 119:89–90; 1 Corinthians 1:9 Key Verse “Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”— Lamentations 3:22–23 Great is Your faithfulness to me. What would one day of faithfulness to God look like? What about one week? One month? And what might happen if those faithful days became a faithful life? Imagine waking up each morning fully att

Scripture: Psalm 19:1–4 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. The celestial bodies display the craftsmanship of God. They speak second by second about His g

Scripture Reading 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 10:35; Romans 5:3–5; Daniel 3:16–18; Hebrews 12:1–3 Key Verse "For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."—2 Timothy 1:12 (KJV) Reflection Today in the gym, I had a moment that revealed more than just what my body could lift. I hit a single at 455 pounds, though I had inte

I began my time of worship praising God with my tambourine, moving through Psalm 150 back to Psalm 147, letting every verse stir my heart toward Him. From there, I read Isaiah 34–35, and I was reminded of both the severity of God’s judgment and the beauty of His redemption. Because of the blood of Jesus Christ, we now have everlasting fellowship with God, just as He intended from the beginning (Genesis 3:8; Revelation 21:3). His blood has cleansed us from sin and redeemed our

Even in the wilderness of our wandering, God has never withdrawn His desire to lead us. Deuteronomy reminds us that God did not abandon Israel in their cycles of delay, fear, or disobedience. Instead, He continued to instruct, guide, and position them. His presence did not depend on their perfection—it flowed from His nature. “And the Lord said to Moses… “and these people will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake me a

May God remove the veil from our hearts and minds that hinders us from truly seeing and understanding who He is (2 Corinthians 3:14–16; 4:3–4). Some live surrounded by His works yet never truly see His heart—eyes that look but do not perceive, ears that hear but do not understand (Deuteronomy 29:2–4; Isaiah 6:9–10; Matthew 13:14–15). Israel watched seas split, manna fall, and water flow from the rock, yet their hearts remained hard, slow to believe the very attributes God was

We take pride in people knowing who we are. It confirms our identity. We also take pride in people knowing what we have done. Artists sign their work. Inventors file patents. Authors place their names on the cover so readers know who produced the work they admire. In a way, God does this too—but not because He needs validation. Throughout Scripture, especially in the book of Ezekiel, the phrase "Then you will know that I am the LORD" appears again and again (Ezekiel 6:7; 20:4

I have filled several notebooks with the attributes of God—carefully compiled during my intense study and writing of Psalm in 2023 and 2024. Page after page reveals who He is: the God who opens doors no one can shut (Revelation 3:7), the God who leads (Psalm 23:2–3), the One who surrounds and confounds our enemies (Psalm 35:4–5), the God of our future (Jeremiah 29:11), our pride and joy (Isaiah 60:15), our Healer (Exodus 15:26), our Forgiver (1 John 1:9), and our Blesser (Eph

“Like newborn infants, desire the pure spiritual milk, so that you may grow by it for your salvation.” (1 Peter 2:2) Newborn babies depend entirely on milk to survive. For the first months of life, it is their only source of nourishment—carefully designed to supply every nutrient needed to sustain such a fragile and developing body. Without it, growth is stunted and life is threatened. Even after a child is weaned and begins eating solid foods, nourishment remains essential.

God does not only call us upward into His presence; He often leads us there through pressure, testing, and affliction. The path of ascension is not always smooth, but it is always purposeful. Scripture shows us again and again that trials are not merely obstacles on the way to God—they are often the very route by which He lifts us higher. When Paul writes, “If we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in ord

Why does it sometimes feel so difficult to make the changes necessary for our growth and development? When God gives you discernment about what needs to change and wisdom about how to change it, why do hesitation and reluctance still rise up? Scripture reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5–6). Growth often requires surrendering what feels fa
