Jonah 1-2; Hebrews 11; Ecclesiastes 7 The reality of Heaven is all around us. The message of Jesus is exactly this: “The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 3:2) It’s invisible, yet fully present and fully active. The scriptures tell us plainly that the glory of God covers the earth. (Isaiah 6) This is […]
Before diving into our reading, let’s reflect on the book of Hebrews. Its authorship remains anonymous, diving straight into the supremacy of Jesus without distraction. My hunch? It could have been penned by a woman, perhaps Priscilla. This thought isn’t rooted in solid evidence, merely personal speculation, but it intrigues me. The idea of a […]
2 Kings 5-6; Romans 16; Psalm 142 I’m convinced that the root of all our problems, whatever they are, is that for the most part, we are blind men walking. We grope along in our doubt, feeling our way through, scared of every rustle and creak. We need constant bolstering and encouragement to step out […]
Leviticus 2-3; Matthew 20; Psalm 116 I don’t have much commentary today! Sometimes, the Word must do its work. It is doing its work. Do you remember where you were when God first found you? Do you recall how immersed in your filth, how mired in your own hell you were when He came looking […]
Exodus 14-15; Matthew 10; Psalm 106 Deliverance is dangerous business! Coming out of slavery, being chased down by your angry captors, is not for the faint of heart. Of course, you already know that! I know you remember those days when you were finally and suddenly liberated from some addiction that had nearly destroyed your […]
January 9 Genesis 36-37; Matthew 8; Psalm 104 Matthew 8:10 ESV “When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who followed Him, ‘Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith.’ It’s almost hard to fathom, but our Jesus can marvel. He can be brought to wonder. The […]
Day 6 – January 6 Genesis 32-33 / Matthew 6, Psalm 102 Do you struggle with anxiety? Jesus dedicated a significant portion of His most famous message from the mount to address worry, anxiety, and concern. In one of His most crucial public addresses, He delved into the topic of how to deal with anxiety. […]
Has God spoken a word over your life? Then brace yourself, for that very word will be challenged with relentless intensity. All opposition rises against the divine plan. Darkness threatens to engulf the promises the Lord has bestowed. In such moments, we may find ourselves bewildered and disheartened, questioning if we misunderstood or if God has changed His mind.

In my childhood, uncertainty used to trouble me. I longed for a clear plan and sought assurance. When I asked about the plan, my father would often respond with the word “probably.” Oh, how I despised that word!
