Joshua 1:8 One the most important commands God gave to the Jewish people was to remember His Word at all times. A command He gives to us as well. But why? God doesn’t tell us to keep His Word close just to test our obedience. It’s because He knows how quickly our hearts drift when… Continue reading January 22nd – Joshua 1:8

Joshua 6:20 We often build walls of self defense that we believe offer us a place safety. But ironically, they can become the very barriers that hinder our growth and progress.

January 8th – Deuteronomy 31:6
Deuteronomy 31:6 I love the quote by Max Lucado which says, “The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a visitor and not a resident.” Even though fear is a part of life, not all fear is bad. For instance, there is the healthy fear… Continue reading January 8th – Deuteronomy 31:6
