Psalm 91:4 (ICB) “He will protect you like a bird spreading its wings over its young. His truth will be like your armor and shield.” I love this psalm, as do many of you. I remember one time in 2023, Lillian came to my home for tea, and as we parted ways, she told me…

1 Corinthians 5:5 (ICB) “Then give this man to Satan, so that his sinful self will be destroyed. And then his spirit can be saved on the day of the Lord.” I came across this verse yesterday, but I had heard a pastor mention it the day before. And the whole of yesterday, I was…

Matthew 8:26 (ICB) “Jesus answered, ‘Why are you afraid? You don’t have enough faith.’ Then Jesus got up and gave a command to the wind and the sea. The wind stopped, and the sea became very calm.” Why were the disciples afraid? What was their deepest fear? I assume their greatest fear was death. They…

John 9:3 (ICB): “Jesus answered, ‘This man was born blind so that God’s power could be shown in him.’” Have you watched the video I shared? It’s of a man singing beautifully, but here’s what makes it extraordinary—he’s blind. A blind man, leading praise and worship with such grace and power. His voice carries so…

Philippians 4:7 ICB “[7] And God’s peace will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. The peace that God gives is so great that we cannot understand it.” Job 5:7 ICB “[7] But man is born to have trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.” Trouble is part of life—whether it’s sickness, struggles in…

Psalms 127:1 ICB “[1] If the Lord doesn’t build the house, the builders are working for nothing. If the Lord doesn’t guard the city, the guards are watching for nothing.” Who is building your life, your dreams, and your work? Is the Lord at the center of it all, or are other influences driving you?…
