We are in a season of great upheaval, both naturally and spiritually. There are events happening in the spirit realm and in the natural realm that we need to be able to discern. We periodically have our eyes examined so we can see clearly. We also need to have our spiritual eyes examined so we can discern with clarity. We can see examples of spiritual discernment by looking at the life of Joseph. Joseph demonstrated remarkable discernment throughout his time in Egypt in several key ways: 1. Interpreting Dreams with Spiritual Insight: Joseph discerned that Pharaoh’s dreams about seven fat Read More

Beyond Human Understanding: God’s Gift of Wisdom
Job 28:20–28 offers a powerful reminder about the source of true wisdom. In the midst of deep suffering, Job reflects on humanity’s ability to uncover the earth’s treasures—yet acknowledges that true wisdom cannot be found through human effort alone. It belongs to God and is revealed to those who fear Him. Wisdom begins not with knowledge or achievement, but with a reverent heart that seeks and trusts the Lord. Just as a flower begins with a seed hidden beneath the soil, Godly wisdom begins in the quiet place of reverence—the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. At first, there Read More
Worship in Motion: Honoring God with Every Fiber
A whole-body workout and whole-body worship share remarkable parallels in their approach to transformation and dedication. Physical Engagement vs. Spiritual Engagement During a whole-body workout, we engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, creating comprehensive strength and endurance. Similarly, whole-body worship involves our entire being in devotion to God. Romans 12:1 captures this beautifully: “Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship.” Consistency and Discipline Both physical and spiritual workouts require regular commitment.

When Finite Meets Infinite: Job’s Lesson in Humility
I’ve been reading the book of Job for the last couple of weeks. Job was subjected to a tremendous amount of suffering, and he had questions. We often find ourselves in the same predicament. We are facing trials and tribulations, and we want answers from God. I think it is appropriate to ask questions without blaming God. When Job started to question God, God had a few questions of His own to ask Job. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said: Who is this that darkens counsel [questioning my authority and wisdom] by words without knowledge? Read More
God’s Heart: A Covenant of Love
This week, I want to extend an invitation for you to focus on God’s Covenant of Love for his people. God’s love for humanity is characterized by personal relationship, covenant faithfulness, and redemptive action. Genesis 1:27 establishes that humans are created “in the image of God,” setting them apart from the rest of creation with unique dignity and purpose. This divine image-bearing creates the foundation for a personal relationship between God and humanity that doesn’t exist with other aspects of creation. The covenant relationship God establishes with humanity demonstrates His committed love. From His promises to Abraham through the new Read More
God’s Masterpiece: Beautifully and Meticulously Created
We Are God’s Masterpiece, Crafted with Intention Just as an artist pours deliberate thought into every brushstroke and color choice, God formed us with meticulous care and purpose. Ephesians 2:10 declares, “For we are His workmanship [His own masterwork, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].” The Greek word “poiema” (handiwork) literally means “work of art” or Read More
