“The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” Proverbs 18:10 Recently, my Facebook feed has shown many videos featuring someone being pursued. When it seems they are about to be captured, a cave opening, a shed door, or some place that looks like safety opens in front of them. They dash inside, and their pursuers lose their trail. I know that these are staged videos or AI-generated. There is no way that someone with a video camera would be right there to capture such an incident. Each one is a different…
“I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me…
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31. There are seasons when it can feel as though prayers go unanswered and hearts are…

“Powerful people harass me without cause, but my heart trembles only at your word.” Psalms 119:161 NLT When I read the above verse, I questioned myself, “When was the last time I trembled at the Word of God? We live in scary times, and our world seems to be getting worse by the day. The news is filled with tragedy, hate, and evil. It’s easy to become frightened during times of uncertainty. Still, David confidently proclaims that even though he is harassed, he isn’t afraid, and does not tremble at their threats. David only trembles at the Word of God.…
Galatians 6:2 “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” I am privileged and blessed to attend a church where there is love and unity. We have people of many different nationalities, but we are a family. We have great leaders, and the Spirit of the Lord is present in our services. Visitors feel welcome and soon become a part of our congregation. I trust that each of you reading this has a…
“I am who I am.” There are no more important words than these spoken by God. All other words in the Bible are only important because these words are true. In Exodus 3, God manifested Himself to Moses in a burning bush, so He could manifest Himself through Moses as a deliverer for His people. Because Moses’ authority was wrapped up in the God who commissioned him, he asked for His name to capture the essence of God’s character and being. In reply, God said, “‘I am who I am.’ And he said, ‘Say this to the people of Israel: “I…
“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.” II Peter 1:3 It is interesting to know that before God created man, He first created everything that man would need to survive. As we read the first chapter of Genesis, we see how God had a plan, and thoroughly He brought it to completion. Light was separated from darkness. Dry land and waters were divided. Grass, flowers, and trees appeared on the earth. The sun, moon, and stars appeared…
