Has the enemy stolen from you or held you captive in areas of your life? Then Obadiah is the book for you.

Our God is a just God. He will punish injustices against His covenant people. . . .

Do you need a ray of hope today? I found one in an unlikely place.

Poor Jeremiah was caught up in . . .

It was painful to watch. At my cousin’s “celebration of life,” her husband and grown sons struggled to make sense of “a life taken too soon.” One son sobbed how . . . .

Water sloshed. Sweat poured. The bread and raisin cakes wore off hours ago, but Jacob was in too deep to quit, now. One-hundred feet above his head, cows mooed and sheep bleated. “Water!” they seemed to cry. Through the pungent air of the well, Jacob sighed.

I wonder what thoughts bubbled up in his mind. Of course, digging was difficult, but did it feel mundane? Ordinary? Dare I say, meaningless? …..

Maybe you don’t think you are creative, but you are.

I am pausing to consider this verse in Isaiah because the Hebrew word translated as “mind” is unusual. It means “creative imagination.” . . . .

“Successful is God’s word spoken over you. He says you are successful even if the world does not see it. God will remind you why you are running for Him.”

I received this prophetic word with joy. I am elated to know that my God regards me as “successful.” I have no position or power or wealth which the world associates with success.

What is God’s measure of success? Jeremiah 9:24 is a good example. . . .
