“They spoke against God; they said, ‘Can God really spread a table in the wilderness?’” Psalm 78:19. In Psalm 78, we see a painful contrast: the mighty acts of a miracle-working God set against the faithless doubts of His people. Israel had seen God’s wonders firsthand, plagues in Egypt, the […]
“The Lord loved him; and because the Lord loved him, he sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah.” 2 Samuel 12:24-25 There is something powerful about being named by God. Though his parents named him Solomon, “God called him Jedidiah, meaning “Beloved of the Lord.” This wasn’t […]
In the battles we face, seen and unseen, our souls long for safety, for assurance, for a shield that cannot be pierced. While the exact title ‘Jehovah My Defender’ may not appear in Scripture, the heart of that name beats loudly throughout the Bible. When Ezekiel declared Jehovah Shammah: “The […]
“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8. God is not just enough, He is more than enough. He is El Shaddai, the All-Sufficient […]
“For in him we live and move and have our being.” Acts 17:28 We often evaluate life through the lens of comfort, success, or personal fulfillment. But God views life through a higher, eternal perspective, His purpose. There are seasons we walk through that are painful, confusing, and even crushing. […]
“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 To be limited is to be restricted, hindered, or confined, while to to be unlimited is to be boundless, infinite, unrestricted in ability or reach! When we say God is Unlimited, we declare that His power, […]
“My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.” Job 42:5 Pain is not something we ask for, but it often becomes the very place where God meets us most deeply. In the furnace of affliction, something precious is forged, an unshakeable knowledge of God that […]
“Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place.” Psalm 66:12. Life often takes us through storms that feel like they will overwhelm us, fire that scorches, water that drowns. Sometimes, it seems like […]
“My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.” Job 42:5 Pain has a way of stopping us in our tracks. It disrupts comfort, shatters expectations, and forces us into places we would never choose on our own. But in God’s hands, pain is never wasted. […]
“Then Moses said to him, ‘If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.’” Exodus 33:15. Moses was no ordinary man. Raised in Pharaoh’s palace, trained in the wisdom of Egypt, seasoned by forty years in the wilderness, and empowered by God to confront […]
1 Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:22 Very few individuals are spoken of with the depth of affection and divine approval that David receives. Twice in the Bible, once in the Old Testament and once in the New, David is described as “a man after God’s own heart.” But what does that […]
“It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.” Psalm 119:71. Affliction rarely feels beautiful. It comes wrapped in pain, loss, isolation, and questions. Yet, when we look deeper, we often find that it is in the dark places of suffering that the most […]
“I love you, Lord, my strength.” Psalm 18:1 In all of Scripture, no one expressed love for God with the depth, passion, and vulnerability that David did! His psalms are not just poetry; they are love letters, honest, and full of longing. David wasn’t merely a king or a warrior; […]
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” Hebrews 6:19. Hope is a powerful force that is rooted in the character and promises of God in a world where uncertainty can rattle even the strongest hearts. Hope is the anchor that keeps us from drifting. […]
“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world, […]
