Proverbs 3:5–6 — Don’t Rely on Yourself, God Already Knows the Way

Bible Study, Blog
Introduction: When Trusting Isn’t Easy Trust becomes difficult when we don’t understand what’s happening. It becomes even harder when we feel like we’ve done everything right — and things still don’t turn out as we expected. And it’s in those exact moments — when the map fades and our strength gives out — that we need to remember this instruction from God’s heart: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart…” This verse from Proverbs is not just a guideline — it’s an invitation to surrender control. To stop relying on our calculations, our strategies, our expectations. And to live with the confidence that God knows more, sees farther, and goes before us. Today we’ll unpack this biblical gem step by step — because every word is a lamp along…

Romans 8:28 — Even When I Don’t Understand, God Is Still at Work

Romans 8:28 — Even When I Don’t Understand, God Is Still at Work

Introduction: When the Pieces Don’t Fit There are seasons in life when everything feels disconnected. Difficult circumstances, closed doors, decisions that didn’t bear fruit, broken relationships. In those moments, we often ask: Where is God in all of this? Romans 8:28 is one of the verses that has brought the most comfort to God’s people throughout history. But it’s also one that can be misinterpreted when read as a superficial or automatic encouragement. This verse does not say that everything that happens is good. It does not say that God approves of everything that happens. What it says is much deeper: God has the power and intention to transform even pain into purpose — if we are willing to trust Him and love Him. Today, we’ll break down this passage…

Jeremiah 29:11 — When I Don’t Understand, I Can Still Trust

Jeremiah 29:11 — When I Don’t Understand, I Can Still Trust

Introduction: How Do You Trust When Everything Feels Confusing? There are seasons in life when the future feels uncertain. Frustrated plans, unexpected news, closed doors. And in those dark days, we begin to ask: What is God doing? Does any of this make sense? Does He really have a plan for me? Jeremiah 29:11 is one of the most quoted verses when we talk about God’s purpose. And while we often hear it used as a generic or motivational promise, this verse holds a much deeper power — especially when we understand when and why it was written. God wasn’t speaking to a people who were comfortable or successful. He was speaking to a people in exile — afflicted, humiliated, and far from home. That’s why this verse isn’t a…

Philippians 4:13 — Can I Really Do All Things Through Christ?

Philippians 4:13 — Can I Really Do All Things Through Christ?

Bible Study, Blog
Introduction: A Popular Phrase That Needs to Be RediscoveredSome verses sound so powerful that they stick in the minds of believers and non-believers alike. They appear on T-shirts, motivational posts, bracelets, gym walls, and personal development speeches.Philippians 4:13 is one of those verses.“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”But far too often, this declaration is taken out of context. It’s associated with the idea that “I can achieve anything I set my mind to,” as if Christ were merely fuel for personal ambition or human success.That’s why it’s worth pausing and looking more deeply. To see what Paul was actually saying. To consider what he was living through when he wrote these words. And to break down each word — not to complicate the message, but…

Introduction: When Simplicity Reveals Depth Some passages in the Bible seem so simple that we might be tempted to overlook them. They’re verses we memorized in childhood, recited without thinking, or saw embroidered on blankets and framed in homes. Psalm 23:1 is one of those verses. But beneath its simplicity lies a depth that touches every area of our lives. This verse is not just a poetic statement. It’s a declaration of identity, of trust, of living faith. It’s the voice of someone who has been pursued, humiliated, strengthened, and restored — and who, through it all, can still say with unwavering confidence: “I lack nothing.” That’s why I chose this verse to unpack with you — word by word. Because the more we look at it, the more we…

John 3:16 — A Love So Great, It Deserves to Be Understood Word by Word

A Verse So Familiar, We Often Overlook It There are verses we’ve heard so many times that we assume we already understand them. We’ve memorized them in childhood, sung them in songs, seen them on posters, heard them in sermons, and even read them in movie scripts. John 3:16 is one of those verses. But the danger of familiarity is that it numbs our attention. We think we’ve already “got it,” and so we stop listening carefully. We miss its depth. We skip over its wonder. We forget its weight. Why Start with John 3:16? I chose to begin this devotional journey with John 3:16 because it’s not just famous — it’s foundational. This single verse holds the essence of the Gospel in one breath: God’s love, The gift of…

When We Open the Bible, We Carry Both Longing and Questions We often come to Scripture with a mix of desire and uncertainty.

New to the Faith? Here’s Where You Should Start Reading the Bible

Bible Study, Blog
The Bible can seem like an immense, ancient book filled with stories, laws, poems, and prophecies. And it is. But at its core, there is a simple and profound message: God loved the world so much that He sent His Son to rescue it. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” — John 3:16 (NIV) So, How Do You Effectively Begin? Don’t Start Randomly Many, without guidance, attempt to read the Bible like a novel — from beginning to end. They start in Genesis and enjoy it. They move on to Exodus and are still doing well. But when they reach Leviticus or Numbers, many feel overwhelmed by the laws, genealogies, and…

Why You Need to Be Fully Armed — At Work, in Life, and Against the Enemy Imagine stepping into a battlefield in nothing but pajamas — completely vulnerable, defenseless, and unprepared.
