Equipped in Motion
on September 30th, 2025
“The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still.” – Exodus 14:14 We often assume that before God calls us into something, He will hand us everything we need upfront. We picture Him stacking our toolbox with every skill, resource, and connection we could possibly require before we take the first step. But in Scripture, that is rarely how God works. More often, He equips us in motion. Think ... Read More

Equipped for the Call
on September 29th, 2025
“The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:24 When God calls you to something, He never leaves you to figure it out on your own. He does not hand you an assignment and then step back to see if you can handle it by your own strength. If He calls you to it, He will equip you for it. That’s a promise we can hold on to, even when the journey feels overwhelming. Equippi... Read More

Never Canceled
on September 28th, 2025
“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” – Romans 11:29 If God has placed a calling on your life, no one else gets the final say about whether or not you can walk in it. People may try to slow you down. They may question your qualifications, criticize your approach, or even bring up your past to discredit you. But the truth is, they don’t have the authority to cancel what God has al... Read More

Be Secure in Yourself
on September 27th, 2025
“But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being.” – Galatians 1:15-16 Paul never tried to hide his past or pretend he had always been a follower of Jesus. He admitted openly that he once persecuted the church and tried to dest... Read More

Break the Box
on September 26th, 2025
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” – Galatians 5:1 Some people spend their whole lives trying to fit into boxes that were never meant for them. Boxes made of cultural expectations, family traditions, or even church rules that God never required. These boxes can be subtle or obvious, but they all have ... Read More

Stop Trying to Fit Their Box
on September 25th, 2025
“Am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” – Galatians 1:10 The apostle Paul knew what it was like to be put in a box. People had a long list of reasons why they thought he was unqualified to be an apostle. He was not one of the original twelve. He never walked side-by-side with Jesus li... Read More

Get Out of the Box
on September 24th, 2025
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind…” – Romans 12:2 You may not be able to fold yourself into a tiny glass box like a contortionist, but many people spend their lives doing something similar. They twist and bend themselves into shapes that were never meant for them, trying to fit into boxes that God never designed them for. For some, it is the career ... Read More

In the Middle of the Mess
on September 23rd, 2025
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28 The Bible is full of examples. Abraham was old, Joseph was abused, Moses stuttered, Rahab had a sinful past, David failed morally, Elijah battled despair, and Paul struggled with poor health. None of them had flawless circumstances, but all of them were used... Read More

Start Walking
on September 22nd, 2025
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” – Exodus 14:14 If you are waiting for every obstacle to disappear before you start walking in your calling, you will be waiting for the rest of your life. The truth is, there will always be something in the way. There will always be unanswered questions, resistance from others, and moments where you feel underqualified. We tell ourselves, “...

Stop Running
on September 21st, 2025
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” – Deuteronomy 31:6 When life gets uncomfortable, the instinct to run can be strong. It’s easier to avoid the hard conversation than to have it. It’s easier to quit the job than to push through the conflict. It’s easier to distance yourself from th... Read More

A Firm Foundation for Your Worth
on September 20th, 2025
“So we say with confidence, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?’” – Hebrews 13:6 When you let other people’s opinions dictate how you see yourself, you will never stand on solid ground. The pressure to keep up, impress, or match what someone else is doing will have you constantly shifting, adjusting, and second-guessing who God made you to be. I remember t... Read More

Secure in Your Own Path
on September 19th, 2025
“Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else.” – Galatians 6:4 Comparison will drain your joy faster than almost anything else. It will make you feel like you’re always behind, never enough, and constantly missing out. The truth is, much of the dissatisfaction people feel today is not because their life is lacki... Read More

Secure in Who You Are
on September 18th, 2025
“Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you will not need to compare yourself to anyone else.” – Galatians 6:4Some people seem to get all the attention. Their accomplishments are talked about, their names are remembered, and their stories get told again and again. Then there are others who work just as faithfully, put in the same dedi... Read More

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. While others in Israel’s history fought with swords, spears, or entire armies, Shamgar defended God’s people with nothing more than an ox goad (a ... Read More

Stop Waiting for the Perfect Situation
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. Today I want to share another story that carries the same message, but from a different angle. A young pastor once wrote to his mentor asking for a recommen... Read More

Flourishing Despite Your Background
on September 15th, 2025
"But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.'" – 1 Samuel 16:7 Tucked away in the book of Judges is a man named Shamgar. His story is short, but powerful. Judges 3:31 tells us he was one of Israel’s judges, a leader G... Read More

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

Lead With Courage
on September 13th, 2025
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." – Joshua 1:9 Leadership is not just about titles or positions. It is about influence, and influence requires courage. Leading with courage means you are willing to do what is right even when it is not popular, to make hard decisions even when they a... Read More
