When You Don’t Know the Way Forward

Scripture Focus: Psalms 25:4 “Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.” There’s something deeply honest about this prayer. No pretending. No polished words. Just a simple, quiet admission: “I don’t know the way… but You do.” David doesn’t ask for a map. He asks for guidance. That’s different. A map gives you…
When Obedience Becomes Delight

Scripture Focus: Psalms 40:8 “I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” There’s a quiet shift that happens in the life of a believer—so quiet, in fact, that you might miss it if you’re not paying attention. It’s the moment when obedience stops feeling like obligation… and…
Lions, and Leopards, and Bears, Oh My! (Daniel 7)

By David J Grabe This piece walks through the vision of Daniel 7—not as a study, but as something seen, felt, and told in story form. It traces kingdoms, conflict, and ultimately the quiet certainty that God still rules above it all. In Belshazzar’s first year of his glory and mightDaniel the prophet had a…
Becoming What I Behold

I am discovering more and more that so much of the Bible not only reveals the character of God, but also shows me the kind of character He desires to form in me. Scripture doesn’t simply describe who God is in some distant or abstract way. It draws me in. It calls me to linger,…
Where Mercy and Truth Meet

Scripture Focus: Psalm 85:10–11 “Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven.” If Psalm 85:10–11 were a recipe, it would have some of the richest ingredients a soul could live on: mercy, truth, righteousness, and peace.…
Navigating Life with Jesus

Scripture Focus: Philemon 1:6 “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Let’s be honest—living out your faith in everyday life can feel a little clumsy at times. Like trying to find your footing when your thoughts, emotions, and circumstances…
Don’t Follow Your Heart (It Doesn’t Even Have a Driver’s License)

Scripture Focus: Proverbs 28:26: “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” Your heart is not the best GPS for life. It’s moody. It overreacts. It changes direction without warning. And if we’re being honest, it can get a little dramatic when it doesn’t get…
The Day It All Fell Apart (Or So It Seemed)

The story of the cross and resurrection reminds us of something we often forget in our own hard seasons: God can be doing His deepest work in moments that look, to us, like loss, silence, and delay. What seemed like the darkest hour in the lives of the disciples was actually the very hour heaven…
Wings Beneath the Unseen Air

Inspired by Deuteronomy 32:11-12 “As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.” There was a daywhen the nest no longer felt like rest—when stillness began to…
Where You’re Going, He Already Is

Scripture Focus: Deuteronomy 31:8 “And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” There’s something deeply comforting about knowing God goes before us. He never points us toward a hard place and then stands back…
