Revelation 4:11 ICB [11] “Our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power. You made all things. Everything existed and was made because you wanted it.” Everything existed and was made because God wanted it. This reminds me of the verse in John that says, “Through Him all things were […]

Good morning. I am a chronic declutterer. I don’t even keep duplicates of things because I feel like they take up too much space. I love airy, open spaces—no paintings on the walls, no tiny decorative pieces scattered around. Everything I own is purely functional. If something isn’t being used, I declutter it. I’ve been […]

Yesterday, we had an amazing Bible study. It lasted two and a half hours, but the fellowship in the presence of the Lord was so rich that we barely noticed the time. One of us shared a beautiful habit she has with her children—reading a chapter of Proverbs each day based on the date. For […]

Matthew 6:31-32 (NLT) “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.” Are you an unbeliever that you worry about things? Why do you let anxiety consume you when […]

Psalm 51:4 (NLT) “Against you, and you alone, have I sinned; I have done what is evil in your sight. You will be proved right in what you say, and your judgment against me is just.” Yesterday, I was talking to a friend from DC, and he asked me whether I had ever felt the […]

John 4:13-14 (ICB) “Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty again. The water I give will become a spring of water flowing inside him. It will give him eternal life.’” I heard Kathryn Khulman mention this verse, and suddenly, I […]

I share a bedroom with my daughter, and as I was sleeping, I heard someone calling my name repeatedly—”Mum, mum, mummy, mum.” Half-asleep, I finally woke up, and she softly said, “Mama, pray for me.” I have my bed, and she has hers, so in my drowsy state, I wondered why she was asking for […]

Exodus 7:16 (ICB) “Tell him this: The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you. He said, ‘Let my people go worship me in the desert.’ Until now you have not listened.” This verse is so powerful. This is the moment when Moses stood before Pharaoh, delivering God’s message—Let My people go. But […]

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV): “Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (ICB): “Never stop praying.” I was watching something recently—I don’t even remember what it was. I think it was Crazy Love by Rev. Edward Ondachi. He said something that really struck me: The reason we struggle to pray is because we have already told everyone […]
