See It, Write It, Build It: The Power of God-Given Vision

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 12:01:01 +0000

Every great building begins as a blueprint. Long before a single brick is laid, an architect puts pen to paper and gives shape to something that doesn’t yet exist. Vision works the same way in the life of a believer. Vision is God’s blueprint in word form, a written, spoken, or impressed plan that gives shape to what He intends to build through us before it ever takes physical form. The prophet Habakkuk understood this principle when God told him, “Then the Lord answered me and said, ‘Write the vision and engrave it plainly on [clay] tablets so that the Read More

The Posture of Faith

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 15 Jun 2026 12:21:23 +0000

There are seasons in life when the weight of our trials feels unbearable. We pray, believe, and trust God, yet circumstances seem to move in the opposite direction of our expectations. Doors close, relationships struggle, finances tighten, and health challenges arise. In those moments, it is easy to interpret our pain as defeat. But as believers, we must remember that God’s perspective is different from ours. The Apostle Paul understood suffering better than most. He endured imprisonment, persecution, shipwrecks, beatings, and countless hardships. Yet he never allowed temporary trials to define his future. Instead, he fixed his eyes on God’s Read More

Straighten Your Crown

Crowns are worn by royalty. As children of God, we have been adopted into His family and given a royal identity. Scripture reminds us, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9 ). We are not common citizens—we are sons and daughters of the King of Kings. Life, however, is filled with challenges. Adversity comes in many forms: disappointment, setbacks, loss, criticism, and uncertainty. When these moments arrive, Read More

Investing in God’s Word

In today’s world, investing in the stock market has become one of the most popular ways to build wealth. People study trends, diversify portfolios, and commit to consistent contributions with the expectation of long-term growth. Yet, while financial investing is valuable, there is a far greater investment that often goes overlooked: daily investing in God’s Word. When we compare these two forms of investment, we find that both require discipline, consistency, and faith—but their returns differ in scope and eternity. Stock market investing is rooted in principles like patience, strategy, and endurance. As an investor, I understand that wealth is Read More

God’s Divine Recipe: Trusting His Plan for Your Life

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:09:31 +0000

Anyone who enjoys cooking knows that a good meal usually begins with a great recipe. A recipe provides the ingredients, the measurements, and the instructions needed to create the final dish. Without it, the outcome can be unpredictable. In many ways, our lives operate the same way. Just as a recipe guides a cook, God has a divine recipe—a plan—for each of our lives. The Bible reminds us in Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Like Read More

Stop Looking Back: Life Lessons from Lot’s Wife

Garnet Nowell — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 04:52:00 +0000

There is something dangerous about nostalgia when God has called you forward. In Genesis 19:26, we read one of the shortest yet most sobering verses in Scripture: “But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” Lot’s wife had been given a clear command—do not look back. God was delivering her family from destruction, yet her heart was still tethered to what she was leaving behind. Looking back was not just a physical act. It was a heart posture. Jesus later reinforced this principle in Luke 9:62: “No one who puts his hand to Read More
