As I prepare to step down from my role, I want to encourage you to trust in God's leading, knowing that He is preparing others around you to carry forward the work He has called you to.

Just as Moses was punished for not honoring God’s command, we must remember that it is not our place to define or execute justice but to trust God’s timing and sovereignty.

We must put 100% of our faith and confidence in God, just as Joshua and Caleb did, knowing that true unity and peace come from following His guidance and truth.

In the depths of distress, our longing for God often grows stronger as we face the challenges that make us turn to Him more deeply, just as the deer pants for water in times of thirst.

Through self-reflection, I’ve learned that if we experience God’s love as children, we are more likely to develop a faith that recognizes His love as sufficient for every need, teaching us to trust and rely on Him.

We are so conditioned to think that we must figure it out and be self-sufficient, yet time and time again we are told to place our trust firmly in the Lord and not lean on our understanding.

While we may be quick to point out the flaws in others, David’s description of the wicked serves as a reminder that we, too, fall short of God’s glory and are in need of His mercy and grace.

The Bible warns us about the dangers of idolatry, not just through images or statues, but through anything we place above our love for God—whether it's people, politics, or even social media.

As I follow God’s calling, one exciting opportunity I’m looking forward to is leading a trip to Turkey and Greece where we will explore cities from Paul’s missionary journeys and share devotional thoughts at each biblical site.

Jesus' role as the “Lamb of God” is announced by John the Baptist, setting the stage for Jesus' ultimate sacrifice, fulfilling the meaning of Passover through His death on the cross.

The real essence of Psalm 23 is not about material success but about surrendering control to God, allowing Him to lead us in peace and righteousness, especially in times of difficulty.

Christians often struggle to truly believe and live according to Scripture despite claiming it as inspired and true.

Throughout life, many people—some for decades—have provided encouragement, prayer, and help, showing how vital support is for overcoming obstacles.

Moses’ encounter with the burning bush on Mount Horeb exemplifies how God calls us in quiet, profound moments to a deeper understanding of His presence and purpose.

The story of Moses is explored, highlighting his early rescue from the Nile and his instinct to intervene in situations of injustice, showing how personal tendencies may be shaped by early experiences.

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.
