You might be surprised to learn how often the Bible models talking to yourself—out loud. From King David to the Apostle Paul, this simple act is a quiet but powerful discipline.

Until we arrive at our eternal home, God invites us to partner in His work—bringing healing, hope, and help wherever we are. Every act of faithfulness here reflects our future with Him.

In the same way, we can trust that when we seek God and offer ourselves to His will, He will use us in His grand story of redemption, often in ways we cannot foresee, just as He used both the influential and the powerless in Moses' story.

Joseph’s path from a proud young man to a humble servant of God teaches us that humility is often cultivated through hardship and dependence on God. His transformation highlights how struggles can refine our character and deepen our understanding of God's hand in our lives.

Remember that it is only with God and through God that anything of lasting value is built.
