A quiet Sunday reflection on finding provision, guidance, and faithful surrender in Scripture when the way ahead feels uncertain. This morning I woke to the most beautiful sunrise. Pinks, purples, blues - and a warmth behind all of it that I couldn’t see with my naked eye. The hope for the day before me is beautiful, but the promise within it is greater. I might have accepted it as a beautiful beginning, a special treat. But as I sat down to do my Bible reading, I came to app

Prayer may feel unproductive in the moment, but obedience can train us to turn toward G‑d when life becomes hard. During my prayer time this morning, those were the words G‑d spoke to me: Obedience does its own work. Honestly, I was distracted. I felt pulled toward the tasks I had planned for the day, and sitting there quietly was ha-ard. So when that phrase popped into my mind, I responded with a not-so-internal eye roll. Doesn’t that sound just like a parent trying to convi

The world’s fear is real, but it is not our final story. Is your heart weighed down by the troubles of this world? Are you weary; Thinking more about when you might have rest, than remembering your old hopes and dreams? This has weighed so heavily on me; especially these last few months. All around us, people are really struggling - and not for success or rewards. They're struggling to keep a roof over their heads and they have long since accepted what is cheap rather than se

You do not have to solve every problem in the world. Choose one place to serve faithfully, and trust G‑d with the outcome. Pick your spot and make a difference. There are many needs and problems in the world. Regardless of what you think, it is not your job to oversee all of them. Not even to ascertain whether someone else is working on them! Truly... Pick the one thing, or maybe two, that deeply interest(s) you and pour yourself into it. And not half way! Go hard. Remember,

A poetic reflection inspired by Matthew 11:28–30, Romans 8:28, and Joshua 1:9. Come to Me. Hearken when I call. There is goodness for you here. I will not let you down. In good times and when you are struggling, Come to Me. Sit at My feet. Just relax and take it all in. For there is no hurry. No need for you to quickly react. Remember, I am already working all things for your good. For now, just relax. And when you are ready, child. When your soul is completely at peace. Afte

A devotional poem inspired by Esther 4:14 Positions! Positions, everyone! Take your positions... The show is about to begin. No word of instruction or encouragement is needed. You are ready! You were born for this. When the curtain rises, feel the warmth of the spotlight and know... I am with you. Relax and enjoy the program... Your interplay with the other performers. You. Are. Ready. You will not forget your training or speak the wrong lines. Relax and only be... For you ar

A poem inspired by Isaiah 43:19 / Revelation 21:5. Step out in faith. Do not wait for what is familiar or what makes sense. My Word is hidden in your heart. My Spirit is within you. Do you not see? I am doing something new! Look not with your own eyes to judge. For I am the judge! Do not expect the outcome or evaluate your performance. I am the judge! Obedience is what I seek. I alone am the author and the finisher. So take up your position. Trust Me. My ways are mysterious.

A poetic reflection inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:1–11, Joshua 4, and Revelation 21:5. The times and seasons, they are appointed by Me. And to everything, there is a purpose; belonging to Me. If you seek to understand, to know My purpose - you might catch a glimpse. But do not make this your office, for it will not serve you. And it does not serve Me. No, I do not keep it from you. Nor hide it from your sight. I've given you glimpses of My creation; My hand at work. Let these su

A simple way to bring your real questions to Scripture. Sometimes we have a question we wish the Bible would answer plainly. How do I handle a difficult relationship? What do I do when I don't know what to do? How can I know whether I am responding in faith or simply reacting out of fear? It's tempting to look for someone else to tell us exactly what to think: a pastor, teacher, podcast host, friend, or even a search result. There is nothing wrong with learning from wise peop

How to begin choosing a Bible translation that fits your needs. There are lots of opinions on this topic and, as with all opinions, each one is valid! It is not the intention of this article to critique various translations or to speculate about why people felt the need to create new versions. Each translation serves a different purpose. And, obviously, they all have value to somebody! But speaking as someone who always wondered why there are so many translations and which on
