Luk 10:30 (NKJV) “Then Jesus answered and said: ‘A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.’” Life can resemble this parable—unpredictable and painful. There are times when we are stripped of our strength, beaten by trials,…

Pro 16:9 (NKJV) – “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” Life often confronts us with uncertainties, where predictions and plans seem secure yet fail. But Scripture reminds us that God’s guiding hand goes far beyond human foresight. We may calculate outcomes, set strategies, and project our future, but it…

Luke 14:31 “Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?” Life demands wise decisions. Jesus taught us to count the cost before engaging in any battle (Luke 14:28–31). Many fail…

1 Ch 4:10 — “And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, ‘Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!’ So God granted him what he requested.” Jabez was a…

Psalm 112:4 (NKJV) – “Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.” Life often presents moments of uncertainty and darkness, but God’s Word assures that light will dawn for the upright. The psalmist speaks of divine illumination that breaks through gloom for those who walk…

Ps 3:3 (NIV) “But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high.” The enemy rejoices when he sees your head bowed in struggle, thinking the battle is his. But when you lift your voice and say “Amen,” you declare agreement with God’s promises. What looks like surrender…

Judges 11:1–2 (NKJV) — “Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead begot Jephthah. Gilead’s wife bore sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out, and said to him, ‘You shall have no inheritance in our father’s house, for…

“And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.” (Mat 4:3) The wilderness is a place of testing. Jesus—hungry and weak—is tempted to turn stones into bread. This wasn’t just about food; it was a challenge to use divine power for…

Pro 18:13 “To answer before listening— that is folly and shame.” Assumptions are silent destroyers. They create false judgments, break relationships, and blind us from the truth. God’s Word warns that speaking or acting without full understanding is folly. To assume is to lean on appearances rather than facts, but to listen and seek truth…

Mark 4:35–37 (NKJV) – “On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, ‘Let us cross over to the other side.’ Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and…
