MICAH 7:1–7 He recently applied for several jobs and received one rejection after another. Each “no” made it harder to remain hopeful. He rewrote application letters—but nothing seemed to be working. When it comes to our walk with God, hope is the strategy. Micah lived in a time of deep spiritual decline. He lamented that the … [Read more…]
LUKE 9:21–24 In a quiet music room, a student watches her teacher’s hands on the piano—listening, imitating, adjusting. She does not play her own tune; she follows, note for note, learning the discipline behind the beauty. Jesus said those who want to be His disciples must deny themselves, take up their cross daily and follow Him … [Read more…]
JOHN 1:1–14 Love is not just a feeling—it shows up. Like a friend who brings you food when you are sick or a parent who stays up all night with a child. True love is expensive, intimate, and present. That is the kind of love John describes. Jesus, the eternal Word, did not stay distant. He … [Read more…]
DEUTERONOMY 34:1–8 As children, we would sit outside after supper, listening to stories under the stars until some of us dozed off on our mother’s lap or on a mat nearby. Our parents would gently carry us inside, wrap us in blankets, and lay us down to sleep—so that by morning, we would wake up warm, … [Read more…]
LUKE 1:18–25 In today’s fast-paced city life, milestones often feel like checkboxes—career success by 30, marriage soon after, maybe a home or a child next. If you have missed some, the silence of friends or offhand comments at gatherings can sting. Elizabeth knew that feeling. In her world, childlessness brought shame, even suspicion. Despite this, she … [Read more…]
JAMES 1:16–27 That morning before a job interview, he confidently left home thinking he looked sharp. While waiting in the lobby, he caught his reflection in a glass door—coffee stains on his shirt! He had looked in the mirror earlier but had not noticed. How often do we glance but not truly see? James uses a … [Read more…]
REVELATION 5:1–13 We do hear love songs—on the radio, at weddings, or sung on quiet evenings. But no song compares to the one in Revelation 5, where all of creation lifts their voices to worship Jesus, the Lamb who gave His life for us. At first, John weeps. It seems no one could fix the brokenness … [Read more…]
LAMENTATIONS 3:22–23 He applied for several jobs, hoping for that one “yes”. He prayed, updated his resume, and stayed hopeful—but months passed with silence or rejection. He began asking, “God, did You forget me?” However, he reminded himself of one fact every morning: the Lord’s immense love and His mercies are new every day. (Lamentations 3:22–23). God … [Read more…]
ROMANS 7:14–25 A friend texted me late one night: “Why do I keep messing up? I want to do the right thing, but I keep failing. I am so tired of pretending.” I replied to him, “You are not alone. Even Paul, one of the greatest apostles, felt that way.” In Romans 7:15, Paul admits he cannot live … [Read more…]
MATTHEW 13:53–58 When the church generator failed, a young boy stepped forward to help fix it. “He is too young,” someone muttered. Doubt hung heavy, just like in Nazareth when people questioned Jesus (Matthew 13:55). They could not see greatness in someone so familiar. We often do the same—overlooking Jesus’ power in the ordinary. Like those … [Read more…]
