From Good Intentions to Godly Execution

Scripture Focus: “The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.” — Proverbs 13:4 A lot of people live with beautiful intentions. They want to grow. They want to pray more, be more disciplined, walk closer with God, use their time better, and become the…
Crowning Moments

Scripture Focus: “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.” — James 1:12 Temptation has a way of showing up at the worst possible time, and usually not looking nearly as dangerous as it…
Spiritual Baggage and Generational Patterns

Scripture Focus: “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep…
When My Way Isn’t His Way

Scripture Focus: Proverbs 3:5–6 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” There’s something about the word lean that feels familiar. It’s what we naturally do. We lean on what we know, what we’ve experienced, what…
The Place Fear Loses Its Voice

Scripture Focus: Psalm 34:4 “I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” There’s something beautifully simple about this verse, but don’t let that simplicity fool you—it carries real weight. Fear has a way of showing up uninvited. It doesn’t knock politely. It just walks in, sits down, and…
The Quiet Habit of Seeking

Scripture Focus: 1 Chronicles 16:11 “Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” There’s something steady and almost rhythmic about this verse—seek… seek… continually. It doesn’t rush you. It doesn’t overwhelm you. It simply invites you into a way of living. Not a moment. A pattern. We often think of seeking God as…
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.
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,…
