2 Peter 1:3 (ICB): “Jesus has the power of God. His power has given us everything we need to live and to serve God. We have these things because we know him. Jesus called us by his glory and goodness.” I find myself stuck here. This often happens when I’m reading the Bible—something strikes me…

The Proverbs 31 woman sounds so incredible, especially when you read it in The Message version: Proverbs 31:10-31 MSG “A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds. Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it. Never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long….

Genesis 2:16-17 MSG [16-17] God commanded the Man, “You can eat from any tree in the garden, except from the Tree-of-Knowledge-of-Good-and-Evil. Don’t eat from it. The moment you eat from that tree, you’re dead.” Man was commanded to eat freely from any tree in the Garden of Eden, including the Tree of Life. Imagine if…

Seven times?’ ‘No, not seven times,’ Jesus replied, ‘but seventy times seven!’” When Peter asked Jesus about forgiveness, he likely thought seven times was generous. After all, forgiving someone repeatedly isn’t easy. But Jesus’…

Hakuna silaha yeyote iliyotumwa kinyume chetu itakayo faulu. That’s the song that has been in my spirit since yesterday, and even more so today. It’s the only song I’ve been singing on repeat like a broken record. Whenever a song sticks to my mind like this, I know there is a message God wants me…

John 6:29 NLT [29] Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.” This verse highlights the simplicity of the work God requires from us. It’s not about doing a million things or striving in our own strength; rather, it’s about believing in Jesus Christ,…

My life has transformed so much that I now even dream in Scripture. This morning, I woke up from a dream where I was about to teach a youth Bible study on love. It felt like I had been chosen to lead the discussion, and as I walked in, the pastor was telling the group,…
