There is room at the table for all of us. We do not have to fight each other. God equipped us and gave us permission the moment we were conceived. If you are not able to find the table God prepared for you, you need to create one and invite others to join you. Exercise the power of agreement.

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
Fireflies & Divine Revelation
Growing up in the country, I was privileged to see fireflies light up the night on a regular basis. They are quite beautiful to behold. As I watched them, I thought about how God’s Word is revealed to us and impacts our daily lives. Here is a lesson from the firefly. Fireflies Illuminate the Darkness—So Does Divine Revelation Fireflies shine brightest in the dark, offering a glimpse of light in otherwise shadowy places.

Practicing God’s Presence
When we are faced with storms, we need to practice God’s presence. If we follow God’s plan, we can make it through life’s many storms. God hides us safely under the cover of His wings (Psalm 91), where no harm can come to us. All we have to do is abide forever in His presence. These lyrics from a song by Paul Wilbur (In Your Presence) inspire me. Whenever I am faced with what appears to be insurmountable trials, I listen to this song. By focusing on the Word, the storms no longer seem insurmountable. If you are facing storms, Read More
Jehovah-Sabaoth: The God Who Troubles Your Troubles

The word “Sabaoth” (צְבָאוֹת) refers to a great multitude, an army, or a host of heavenly beings. It is a name that reveals God’s authority over both the spiritual and natural realms—showing that He is not only a protector but a warrior who wages war against forces that oppose His will. In 2 Kings 7:6-7, God sends a sound to Read More
The Holy Spirit: Our True North
Our True North is the Holy Spirit. In the vast expanse of the night sky, a single star has guided countless travelers throughout history. The North Star, or Polaris, stands as an unwavering beacon of direction, positioned almost directly above the Earth’s North Pole. While other stars wheel through the darkness in their nightly dance, Polaris remains steadfast, offering a fixed point of reference for those seeking their way (true north). This celestial constant serves as a powerful metaphor for the Holy Spirit’s guidance in our lives. Just as ancient mariners and explorers relied on Polaris to navigate treacherous waters Read More
