Isaiah 58:11
Have you ever been completely lost? Not the kind of lost where your phone reroutes you in thirty seconds, but the real kind. The road ahead unfamiliar and nothing behind you looking right either. Maybe it wasn’t a highway. Maybe it was a hard conversation, a medical decision, or a week where every option felt wrong. We’ve all stood in that fog, hoping somebody could point the way.

Isaiah 43:18-19
There’s a strange tension in walking with God, one that shows up in the most ordinary moments. You’re supposed to remember His faithfulness, to rehearse His past rescues and miracles, to keep them close like stones in your pocket. But then Scripture turns around and tells you to forget. Not everything, but something. And honestly, figuring out which is which can feel like trying to fold a fitted sheet.

Today’s passage: Psalm 105:8-10.
The covenant God made with Abraham is not just a promise—it is an agreement that has shaped history. God’s promises cannot be broken. He does not lie, and there is no deception in anything He says. When He speaks, His word is dependable, and His promises will come true exactly as He said they would. 2 Peter 3:9 reminds us that “The Lord is not slow to keep His promise, as some might think. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to be lost, but for all to come to repentance.” Even when it feels like God’s promises will never happen, they are still true, and in His perfect timing, they will be fulfilled.

Today’s Passage: Psalm 18:2-3
From a young age, David understood the power of God in his life. Through various trials, he learned firsthand what God could do when he trusted in Him. David witnessed God’s work in many ways: during his encounters with the lion and the bear (1 Samuel 17:34-37), and as he faced the giant Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45-50). In each situation, God protected him and granted him victory.

Passage: Job 19:14
It’s no wonder Job felt alone. He lost his children, his servants, and all his possessions in the blink of an eye. The pain and sorrow he felt were overwhelming, and those around him couldn’t understand what he was going through. His friends couldn’t grasp the depth of his suffering or how he was feeling. Even worse, they showed no compassion for him. Instead of offering comfort, they criticized him, making his pain even worse.

I was reading in a daily devotional book[i] and I wanted to share the main thoughts with you. It was titled: Risk: Oversold and Underplayed. It challenges a comfortable faith that isn’t willing to risk too much for Jesus. Continue reading “Risk: Oversold and Underplayed.”
The book of Hosea is the first of the 12 minor prophets and was likely written during the 8th century B.C. just before the Assyrian invades. His work and prophecies focused almost entirely on the northern kingdom of Israel during its final years of existence. His ministry lasted some 34 years and it is noteworthy that Hosea is the only prophet to live and preach solely to the Northern Kingdom. Continue reading “Hosea: God wants something more.”
