One of my favorite Old Testament prophecies about Jesus, the coming Messiah, is Isaiah 9. During a time when the Israelites felt beaten down and defeated, God told them about their Savior. When hope was fleeting, and fear was overwhelming, God promised that one day He would come and establish His Kingdom forever. It was … Continue reading The Light of the World Has Come

My desire is to share my daily journey through the Word of God so that others can be inspired and encouraged to be all in for Jesus!
God takes me so many places as I read and study His Word, and I love to write about it. Maybe someone will read this and get their own message from God. Or maybe following my journey will give them a desire to start a journey of their own. I just hope that God will be glorified and that He will always be the main contributor to this blog!
God loves you - and he wants to have a one-on-one relationship with you! That is why he sent Jesus to bridge the gap between you and Him by way of the cross. All you have to do is:
Admit your a sinner. (Romans 3:23)
Recognize that the penalty for sin is death. (Romans 6:23)
Know that God loves you, so Jesus died in your place. (Romans 5:8)
Understand that nothing you can do on your own will ever be enough. (Ephesians 2:8)
Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord! (Romans 10:9)
Celebrate the new you! (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Many of these prophecies had already been fulfilled, … Continue reading God’s Will… God’s Way
Invisible Army
One of my favorite stories in the Bible is the story about the prophet Elisha and one of his servants when they were facing capture by an opposing army. (2 Kings 6:13-17) As soon as they received word that a strong force had surrounded the city, the servant panicked. “Oh, my lord, what shall we … Continue reading Invisible Army
Godly counsel… even if the truth hurts
Let’s be honest. When we need advice about something, do we head straight for the person we know will be honest no matter what? Or do we reach out to someone we hope will tell us what we want to hear? After all, it feels better to have our own ideas confirmed than to face … Continue reading Godly counsel… even if the truth hurts
What are you doing here?
I have read the story of the prophet, Elijah, more than once and I have heard Bible teachers teach about him many times. When he stood before the people and challenged them to choose whom they would follow, his faith was amazing. He knew his God was bigger than any god that the Israelites had … Continue reading What are you doing here?
