Planting What’s Still in Your Hand
Sow in tears, reap with joy When you have almost nothing left, it’s tempting to hold tight to the little you do have. Maybe it’s time, energy, or hope.

Crossing your Jordan? God is with you every step!If you’re about to step into something way over your head, yet you know God told you to, be encouraged.

But do we receive that verse in its true context? “We are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37, NASB) Placing Romans 8:37 in Context Let’s place that verse where […]

But what if there’s a different perspective—one that can break the cycle? Proverbs 19:23 says, “The fear of the Lord leads to life, so that one may sleep […]
God Already Gave You What You Need
He’s got you, and you have all you need. (Romans 8:28–32 NASB) Romans 8:32 says, “He who did not spare His own Son but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” This chapter, Romans 8, is one of my absolute favourites. Starting at verse […]
