Use What You Have

“But Moses said to the Lord, ‘Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent…’ The Lord said to him, ‘What is that in your hand?’ ‘A staff,’ he replied.” – Exodus 4:10, 2 Shamgar’s story in Judges 3 is easy to miss, but it holds a powerful truth.

on September 16th, 2025
"But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’" – 2 Corinthians 12:9 Yesterday, we looked at Shamgar, a man in the book of Judges who made an impact for God despite a less-than-ideal background.

on September 15th, 2025

Trust Beyond Yourself
on September 14th, 2025
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." – Proverbs 3:5 It is natural to rely on what we know, what we can do, and what we can control. We measure situations by our skills, our resources, and our experience. But if we are honest, there are moments in life when what we have simply is not enough. Our abilities have limits, but God’s power does not. Trusting... Read More

Standing Firm in What You Believe
on September 12th, 2025
"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong." – 1 Corinthians 16:13 Most people go through life without ever deciding what they truly stand for. They move with the current of popular opinion, changing their stance depending on the situation or the crowd they are in. But someone who is grounded in their convictions is different. They are not swayed by trends or outside pressure b... Read More

Keeping the Main Thing the Main Thing
on September 11th, 2025
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." – Matthew 6:33 Life is full of distractions. Opportunities, responsibilities, entertainment, ambitions, and everyday demands constantly pull for our attention.

The Reward of Walking in Integrity
on September 10th, 2025
"Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways." – Proverbs 28:6 Integrity is not just about the words you speak in public. It is about the life you live when no one is looking. It is about being the same person in private as you are in public.

"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men." – Colossians 3:23 How many people do you know who are constantly seeking shortcuts in life? The fastest way to make money.

God did not ca... Read More

Move in Quiet Obedience
on September 8th, 2025
"But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing." – Matthew 6:3 It is easy to get caught up in announcing your next big move. Social media makes it even easier. A new job, a big project, a ministry idea, a business launch. Before it even starts, many people rush to tell the world. But often, when we spend more time talking about what we are going to do... Read More

Let Your Yes Be Yes
on September 7th, 2025
"Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil." – Matthew 5:37 In a world full of empty promises, God calls His people to be different. Words are not meant to be tossed around carelessly. They carry weight, and when we speak, we are accountable for what we say. Being a person who keeps their word is not just about good manners; it is about integrity. When you t... Read More

Influence for Impact
on September 6th, 2025
"Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." – Philippians 2:3 Influence and resources are gifts from God. Whether it is money, a platform, a skill set, or a position of authority, these things are entrusted to you for a purpose.

Steady Under Pressure
on September 5th, 2025
"Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." – 1 Corinthians 15:58 Life has a way of revealing what we are made of when the pressure turns up. Anyone can be pleasant when things are going their way, but the real test of character is how you respond when the bottom drops out. Do you stay steady, or do you let the storm cont... Read More

"Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you." – James 4:10 We live in a time when self-promotion is not only common but it is celebrated. People are told to market themselves, to make sure their voice is heard, and to fight for recognition.

The Strength of Character
on September 3rd, 2025
“The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.” – Proverbs 11:3 Character is who you are when no one is watching. It is the sum of your values, convictions, and choices over time. While personality may attract people and skills may open doors, it is character that determines whether those relationships last and whether you can be trusted with great... Read More
