Every believer faces moments when the question rises quietly but persistently in the heart: “Is my faith strong enough today?” It’s a vulnerable question—one that reveals both our wish to trust God and our awareness of our own limitations. The truth is, faith isn’t measured by how confident we feel, but by the One we […]

“Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.” (Jeremiah 17:7) (NKJV) True happiness is not found in possessions or achievements but in trusting God. The world offers fleeting pleasures, but Scripture teaches that blessedness—deep happiness—comes from walking with the Lord. Happiness rooted in Him is steady, because it flows from His unchanging love. Instead […]

“. . . the joy of the LORD is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10) (NKJV) Joy is not the same as happiness. Happiness depends on circumstances, but joy flows from God’s presence. It is a deep, abiding gladness that sustains us even in trials. Joy is a gift of the Spirit, reminding us that God is […]

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1) (NKJV 1982) Faith is not blind optimism—it’s trust in God’s character even when circumstances are unclear.

Hope in Scripture is not wishful thinking or vague optimism; it is confident expectation rooted in God’s character and promises. Because God is faithful, His people can speak of a “living hope” that is anchored in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christmas is the celebration that this hope has a name: Immanuel, […]
Hope Arrives in the Dark

Christmas is God’s declaration that hope is not an idea but a Person who stepped into real history. The birth of Jesus announces that light has entered the darkness, and that no darkness—personal, cultural, or spiritual—can overcome Him. At Christmas, God does not ask the world to ignore its pain; He answers that pain with […]

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33 We have all been shopping and seen things that grab our attention and our mind thinks, “Oh I want this!” Then, our conscience steps in and asks you if you really need this? How […]
Does God Know You?

How many times have you tried to remember someone’s name, but your mind just goes blank? You have seen someone in a television program or in a movie and, you think to yourself, “What is his or her name?” Does that describe you? This happens to me more times than I care to admit, in […]

Do you remember the old cartoon about Wylie Coyote and how he would zip across your TV screen in a flash? Beep! Beep! Gone in a flash! I used to love that cartoon. Well, to be honest, I still love it whenever I see it. It reminds me so much about how things can happen […]
